POWERING THE BED
The bed is equipped with a power cord. To activate the bed functions, plug the power cord into a wall outlet. When the
bed power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet or in the event of a power failure, the settings of the lockout controls
and the calibration data of the Scale and the Bed Exit (optional) systems are preserved.
WARNING
• Shock Hazard - Improper handling of the power cord may result in damage to the power cord and potential shock
hazards. If damage has occurred to the power cord, immediately remove the bed from service, and contact the
appropriate maintenance personnel. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
• Make sure that the ground chain is in place, intact and it’s touching the floor (see Figure 1.9, page 9).
BRAKE/STEER PEDAL
The bed is equipped with two pedals. They control the brakes and the fifth wheel steering. The following illustrations,
appearing on the label affixed on the fifth wheel hood show the operation of the pedals.
APPLYING THE BRAKES
The bed is equipped with a central locking system activated by either lateral brake/steer pedals (see Product Illustration
on page 9).
WARNING
Always apply the brakes when a patient is on the bed (except during transport) or when entering/exiting the bed. Serious
injury could result if the bed moves while a patient is getting on or off the bed. After the brake pedal is engaged, push
on the bed to ensure the brakes are applied.
Brake Pedal Operation
To engage the wheel brakes, fully depress the side of the pedal identified by the red arrow labeled “BRAKE”.
To disengage the wheel brakes, toggle the pedal to the neutral position.
