tient control, you will have to replace the whole mechanism
attaching side-rail to sleeping surface.

underside of the sleeping surface.

over, as indicated in steps 4 and 5 in Motor section, page 4-7.
2. If the side-rail is equipped with PATIENT CONTROLS:
Movable control: Unscrew ring and disconnect the patient control
wire connecting side-rail to bed frame.

surface central section and disconnect the electric wire attached to
the fixed patient control. Remove protective cover on headboard and
withdraw wire.
3. Remove the 4 machine screws attaching entire side-rail mechanism
to sleeping surface.
4. Place new side-rail in position and tighten down with 4 machine
screws.
