FOLDDOWN SIDERAIL LATCH ADJUSTMENT
Required Tools:
1/8” Hex Allen Wrench
WARNING
The siderail latches are preset at the factory, and do not normally need adjustment. If adjustment must be
done, it is important to follow the procedure below. If adjustment is not done properly, injury to the patient
or user could result.
1. Using a 1/8” hex Allen wrench, adjust the hex Allen screw located on the latch assembly opposite the
latch. Turning the screw clockwise will DECREASE the amount of ”play” in the latching mechanism.
Turning counterclockwise will INCREASE the amount.
NOTE
The amount of ”play” in the siderail, when in full up engaged position, should be approximately 1/8 to 3/16
inches.
CAUTION
Too much ”play” when the siderail is in the full up engaged position will give the siderail the appearance of
being unstable and could also cause premature wearing of the latch system.
Too little ”play” will obstruct the latch and keep it from engaging completely in the full up position, which may
result in damage to the latch and/or injury to the patient or user.
