b. Counterclockwise to increase the amount of play in the latching mechanism
NNoottee -- The amount of play in the siderail, when in the full up and latched position, should be approximately 1/8” to 3/
16”.
• Too much play, when the siderail is in the full up and latched position, will give the siderail the appearance of
being unstable and could also cause premature wearing of the latch system.
• Too little play, when the siderail is in the full up and latched position, will obstruct the latch and the latch will not
latch in place, which may result in damage to the latch or injury to the patient or operator.
3. Verify proper operation before you return the product to service.
