RETAINING RINGS – All
clevis pins must have
retaining rings present.
Replace any missing rings.
All "Rue" type pins should
be manually locked and
visually inspected on a
regular basis, as illustrated.
NOTE: The low end of the Hi-Lo Actuator must have an "Extended Prong Style Cotter Pin". The "Rue" type
pin is used on all other Clevis Pins.
WARNING! Damage to the cotter pins may occur when the bed is in its lowest position and
removing patients using a patient lift and/or cleaning areas under the bed.
FASTENERS – Ensure that all fasteners are tightened and seated completely within the limits of the specified
maximum torque
unless specified
otherwise.
CABLING – Inspect the cabling on the bed to ensure that it is all still in place with no drooping or loose wires,
and that it is not interfering with any moving parts. Check for any cut, nicked or crushed wiring. Reattach any
loose wires, and repair or replace any damaged wires.
POWER SUPPLY CORD – Inspect the power cord for nicks or crushed insulation. Replace if damaged with
original manufacturer parts only.
CASTER LOCKING – Check to ensure that the casters swivel and roll freely when unlocked, and do not
swivel or roll when the lock is engaged. Tighten, repair or replace if damaged, loose or not working properly.
Note: a torque of 25-30 lb-ft (300-360 in-lb) should be applied on the 1/2" Nut.
SIDE RAILS – Check the action of the side rails. The rails should move freely through their range, latch fully
when raised, and not be excessively “wobbly” when raised.
HEAD & FOOT BOARD PANELS – Inspect the wood panels for nicks, scratches and missing edging. Seal
any damage that penetrates through to the wood to prevent possible water damage.
PAINT FINISH – Check the bed for any loose, missing, peeled, scraped off or flaked paint. Touch up as
required.
OVERALL APPEARANCE – Inspect the bed generally. Visually inspect welds on the bed and accessories
and look at any bent or cracked components. Document any concern and remove the bed from service
immediately until the affected parts are replaced or the corrective action is taken.
