It is important to ensure the GoBed
®
II MedSurg Bed, Model FL28C is working properly before it is put into service. The
following list will help ensure that each part of the bed is checked.
• Perform a full visual inspection of the bed. If there are any damages, please contact your local Stryker Medical
representative.
• Install the footboard and headboard on the bed. Insert the foot board carefully so that the board and the casing
connectors fit in smoothly.
WARNING
Because individual beds may have different options, footboards should not be moved from one bed to another. Mixing
foot boards could result in unpredictable bed operation.
• Ensure that the molded shells of the head and foot sections are properly positioned.
• Plug the power cord to the bed connector at the head end of the bed and into a properly grounded hospital grade
wall outlet.
WARNING
The bed is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must be plugged directly into a
properly grounded receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only when a hospital grade receptacle is used.
• On both sides of the bed, depress the side of the pedal identified with a red arrow and ensure the brakes are applied
and the bed immobilized. Toggle the pedal to neutral and ensure the brakes release.
• On both sides of the bed, depress the side of the pedal identified with a green arrow and ensure the steer wheel is
engaged. Toggle the pedal to neutral and ensure the steer wheel disengages.
• Ensure that the siderails raise, lock in the up position and lower smoothly.
• Run through each control of the foot end panel.
• Verify the scale system, if equipped, (see the “Scale System Calibration” procedure in the Maintenance Manual) and
the optional Bed Exit system for proper operation.
• Test each function on both inner and outer control panels of the head end siderails. Completely raise the bed and
activate the Trendelenburg function. Ensure the head end lowers to the full down position. Level the bed using the
Hi-Lo controls.
• Completely raise the bed and activate the reverse Trendelenburg function. Ensure the foot end lowers to the full
down position. See F2 in the ¨Foot Board Control Panel Guide¨ section. Level the bed using the Hi-Lo controls.
• Verify the CPR emergency release using both CPR release handles: completely raise the Fowler and, using the CPR
handle, lower the Fowler gradually to a flat position by pulling, holding and releasing the handle several times. Ensure
the Gatch (if raised) also starts flattening when the Fowler is completely down. Following the complete lowering of
the Fowler, wait approximately 30 seconds - the time for the Fowler control motor to reset - and verify that the motor
has indeed reset by completely raising the Fowler using the Fowler up control.
• Verify the following optional equipment for proper operation: 120Vac auxiliary outlet, night light, emergency crank
operation, etc.
