8.1 Removal from the Transport Stand
• Clear the area intended for the bed of any
obstructions and ensure the surface is level.
• Apply the brakes to the castors.
• Remove the clevis pin, ‘R’ clip and plastic spacer
that go through each transport stand and hold
the backrest in place (these parts will be required
when assembling the bed sections together) and
then lift this section off the stand and carefully
place it flat on the floor.
• Loosen the hand wheels on the leg section
(attaching it to the transport stand) and then lift
this section off the stand and carefully place it flat
on the floor.
• Turn the locking collars on one of the bed ends so
that they are both in the unlocked position, this
is easily identified by a visible warning triangle.
• Carefully lift the ends of the transport stand away
from the bed end and place carefully against a
wall or on the floor. Note: when the transport
stands are lifted away neither bed end will
be supported.
• Turn the locking collars on the remaining bed end
so that they are in the unlocked position.
• Carefully lift the ends of the transport stand away
from this bed end.
