Problem Probable cause Fix
FULL-ELECTRIC BED ONLY (US0458 / US0458PL): CASTER POSITION
Any full-electric Patriot bed can be used as either a standard-height or low-height bed by moving
the casters.
fig 2: casters mounted at low
height, bed in lowest position
fig 3: casters mounted at low
height, bed in elevated position
fig 1: casters mounted at
standard height
Standard (conventional) bed height
To achieve standard bed height, insert casters into outside legs, as shown in g. 1 above.
Low bed height
To achieve low bed height, insert casters into inner short legs, as shown in gs. 2 and 3 above.
When in the lowest position, the casters are engaged for bed movement, as shown in g. 2 above.
When elevated, the bed is off the casters and cannot be moved, as shown in g. 3 above.
Due to the clearances involved, only minor travel and movement are recommended in the low
position. The casters can be moved to the outer legs to provide clearance if the bed must be
moved or rolled.
