Beds require an effective maintenance program, we recommend checking these items annually. Use this sheet for your
records and keep on file.
CHECKLIST
_____ All fasteners secure (reference all assembly drawings).
_____ The head and foot section molded shells are properly attached to the section structures.
_____ Inspect the oil-impregnated bronze shoulder spacers (found at bed hinge points) for excessive wear. Do not
lubricate these spacers. Replace as needed.
_____ Check the grease present on the components detailed in the “Lubrication Requirements” section of the Maintenance
Manual. Lubricate as needed. Lubricate them at least every two years.
_____ On both sides of the bed, depress fully down the side of the pedal identified with a red sticker and ensure that
the brakes are applied and the bed immobilized. Toggle the pedal to neutral and ensure the brakes are
released.
_____ On both sides of the bed, depress fully down the side of the pedal identified with a green sticker and ensure
that the fifth steer wheel is engaged. Toggle the pedal to neutral and ensure that the fifth wheel disengages.
_____ Siderails move, latch and stow properly.
_____ All controls on the foot end panel working properly, including LEDs.
_____ Calibrate the scale system (see the ¨Scale System Calibration¨ section in the Maintenance Manual).
_____ All siderail controls working properly (see Head Siderail Function Guide).
_____ Ensure that the optional nurse call alarm sounds in the nurse station.
_____ Ensure that the optional Communications Package controls operate properly.
_____ 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 itself by completely raising the Fowler using the
Fowler up control.
_____ Verify the Fowler, Gatch and Hi-Lo movements to ensure that the motion interrupt switch integrated to the
four electric actuators is operating properly.
_____ Auxiliary outlet (option available only with 120V electric system beds) working properly.
_____ Night light working properly.
_____ No cracks in the boards, siderails, wheel covers, fifth wheel hood (optional) and plastic cover of the head and
foot sections.
_____ Head end bumpers tightly secured to frame and working properly.
_____ No rips or cracks in mattress cover.
_____ Power cord not frayed.
_____ No cables worn or pinched.
_____ All electrical connections tight.
_____ All grounds secure to the frame.
_____ All casters roll properly. Check caster for cuts, wear, etc.
_____ Ground impedance not more than 100 mΩ (milliohms).
_____ Current leakage not more than 100 µA (microamps).
_____ Make sure that the ground chain is in place, intact and it’s touching the floor (see Figure 1.9, page 9).
