10. Push the transport handles forward to start forward movement or pull them toward you to start
reverse movement. There may be a momentary delay before the bed moves.
• Pressure sensors located in the transport handles sense the applied pressure, activate the
motor, and propel the bed in the direction of applied pressure.
• The amount of applied pressure to the handles will regulate the speed of the bed.
– Increasing the forward applied pressure will move the bed forward faster. Maximum
forward speed is between 2.5 and 3.5 mph on level flooring.
– Increasing the reverse applied pressure will move the bed in reverse faster. Maximum
reverse speed is between 1.0 and 2.0 mph on level flooring.
11. Decreasing pressure on the transport handles will slow the bed down.
12. Releasing the enable switch(es) on the transport handles will cause the bed to stop.
To deactivate the IntelliDrive® Transport System
1. Set the brake/steer system to neutral or brake, or
2. Plug the bed into an appropriate power source.
To store the transport handles:
1. Grasp the handles, and lift upwards to unlock the handles.
2. Swing the handles inward toward the center of the bed into the
stowed position.
In case of battery or motor power loss, press the electronic brake switch (on
the drive box on the bottom of the bed) to permit forward and reverse bed
movement with a deployed, unpowered, IntelliDrive® Transport System.
To help prevent injury and/or equipment
damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—If the bed propels forward or
reverse when depressing one of the
enable switches and not applying any
pressure on either of the handles,
contact your local service personnel for
repair.
• Warning—If the bed propels forward or reverse while applying pressure on either of the
transport handles and not pressing either of the enable switches, contact your local service
personnel for repair.
• Warning—If the bed is stopped on a ramp, or a patient is left unattended, set the brake to
avoid unwanted bed movement.
• Warning—Significantly reduce the speed of travel when powering the IntelliDrive® Transport
System when using freestanding patient attached equipment or traveling through doorways.
Caution —The IntelliDrive® Transport System is intended for indoor use only. Outdoor use may cause
temporary or permanent damage to the powered drive mechanism and/or drive belt.
