10. ASSEMBLY ONTO THE TRANSPORT STANDS
Side Rails (if fitted)
• Raise / lower the mattress platform to approximately its middle
height, ensuring the platform is level.
• Remove the thumb wheel from each side rail channel.
• Carefully lower the side rail (the lower slide block will partially
protrude from the channel).
• Unlatch the slide blocks at one end of the bed and, whilst lowering
and supporting the side rails, carefully remove the slide blocks
from the bottom of the channel.
• Whilst supporting the side rails, remove them from the slide block
fingers at both ends, and place them on the floor, then reinsert the
slide block assemblies into the side rail channel for storage. Refit
the thumb wheel to the bottom of the side rail channel.
Electrics
• Flatten and lower the bed to its minimum height (see section 9.4).
• Unplug the mains cable from the mains socket.
• Using a flat bladed screwdriver remove the retaining clip from the control box.
• Unplug the bed end and leg section actuator cables from the control box.
• Detach the cables from the cable routing clips on the underside of the bed.
Bed Frame
• If the bed is in the extended position, retract the extension (see section 8.8).
• Using the two orange hook and loop straps that first came with the bed, secure the
moving parts of the backrest and leg section to the bed frame halves.
• Remove transport stands from the under bed storage brackets.
• Release the castor brakes.
• Loosen the hand wheels in the middle of the bed frame and remove the clevis pins,
‘R’ clips and spacers from the central joint.
• Whilst supporting both halves of the bed frame near the centre of the bed, split
the bed in half by carefully pulling the sections apart and gently lower onto the
floor - this may be considered easier with the help of a second able bodied person.
• Before attempting to assemble the bed onto the transport stands ensure these
instructions have been read and fully understood.
• Ensure a risk assessment in line with local health and safety policy is undertaken
to ensure that staff are not put at risk when performing assembly activities.
• Take care when assembling the bed onto the transport stands, the sections are
of considerable weight (see section 16).
