To set the bed so that the leg section angle adjustment operates:
• Press the leg section button on the handset to fully lower the leg section. The
ratchet will automatically default to the angle adjustment setting when the leg
section is fully lowered.
To set the bed so that the leg section height adjustment operates:
• Press the leg section button on the handset to raise the leg section to maximum
height.
• Taking hold of the bottom of the foot section, slowly lift the section manually so
the ratchet engages, stopping when the required angle has been reached.
Note: The ratchet will reset if lifted to its full extent, and will therefore not engage
the leg section height adjustment.
• The foot section will now be raised as the leg section is driven up / down. The
ratchet will automatically reset when the leg section is fully lowered again,
defaulting the leg section to the angle adjustment setting.
Before attempting to engage / disengage the ratchet mechanism either:
• Ensure there is no load on the foot section, or
• Support the foot section with a second able bodied person.
