Completely raise the bed and apply the brakes. Flatten the mattress support. 1.

Manually lift and fold the foot section back toward the head end of the bed. Attach it securely to the bed using a 4.
bungee cord.
Using needle nose pliers, remove the rue ring cotter, washers and clevis pin (D) linking the thigh actuator tube to 5.
the thigh section lever arms.
Using the No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the 10 screws (A, Figure 4.2 A, 6. pg. 32) holding the cover and the two
I.V. pole holders to the foot casing.
Lift up and remove the cover, taking care to first disconnect the control panel cable (B, Figure 4.2 A, 7. pg. 32) and, if
applicable, the foot casing connector cable ((optional), C, Figure 4.2 A, pg. 32) from the control board.
Properly ground yourself (see 8. pg. 19).
Using diagonal pliers, cut the cable tie holding the thigh actuator cable to the other cables. 9.
Disconnect the motor cable (connector J9) from the control board. 10.
Using pliers, squeeze the upper part of the black strain-relief bushing (E) holding the actuator cable to the foot 11.

Disengage the cable from the strain-relief bushing and remove the cable from the foot casing. 12.
Using the 5/16” socket, remove the two screws (F) holding the retaining plate to the actuator support. 13.
Remove the two pivot pins (G) holding the motor to the support. To facilitate the removal of the pins, insert a small 14.
regular head screwdriver into the opening at the end of the actuator and push out the pins.
Push on the defective actuator toward the centre of the bed to remove it from its location. 15.
Reverse the above steps to install the replacement actuator. Take note of the following caution before hooking up 16.
