Assembling onto the Transport Stand
• Hook both transport stands onto one bed end,
taking care to ensure the brackets are both oriented
correctly (each stand has an identifying mark showing
the correct side -10.2).
• Turn both locking collars into the locked position.
• Hook the remaining bed end onto the transport stands.
• Turn both remaining locking collars into the locked
position.
• Before lifting the backrest and leg section frames,
ensure the moving parts have been secured with hook
and loop tape or similar.
• Carefully lift the leg section and lower the open ends onto
the vertical tubes of the transport stands, ensuring the
electrics are facing inwards. The leg section must be fitted
to the transport stands before the backrest section.
• The bed must never be moved on the transport stand with the locking
collars missing or in the unlocked position - Risk of bed collapse.
• Ensure moving parts have been secured with hook and loop take or
similar - Risk of sections moving in an uncontrolled manner.
Warning
• Apply the castor brakes on the bed ends.
• Unlock both locking collars on one bed end (collar must be lifted before turning).
• Whilst supporting the bed end, lift the platform half away from the bed end and
gently position both sections appropriately.
• Repeat for the remaining half of the bed.
• Carefully lift the backrest section and lower the spigots
through the larger open tubes on the transport stands,
ensuring the electrics are facing inwards.
• Tighten the hand wheels on the leg section frame.
• Insert the clevis pins through the transport stands
and backrest section and secure with the ‘R’ clips and
spacers.
• Ensure the instructions for use, control box clip and
handset locking key are safely stored, and that all cabling
is neatly wrapped around the relevant bed sections and
is not dragging on the floor or under excess tension.
