15.11 EasyDrive
It is possible to equip the bed with the EasyDrive wheel. The EasyDrive helps hospital sta to drive the bed during patient transport
with minimal manpower. The EasyDrive wheel is located in the center of the bed under the undercarriage. EasyDrive is equipped
with its own accumulator and charger and it is not dependent on the bed functions so, if discharged you can still use the bed func-
tions. The bed is equipped with one EasyDrive Control Panel. EasyDrive wheel is oriented in straight direction of the bed.
