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).
______Inspect for excessive wear on the oil-impregnated bronze shoulder spacers found at the bed hinge points. Do
not lubricate these spacers. Replace as needed.
______Check that grease is present on the components detailed in section “Lubrication Requirements”, lubricate if
necessary. Lubricate at least every two years.
______On both sides of the bed, depress the side of the pedal identified with a red arrow and ensure that the brakes
are applied and the bed is 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 that the steer wheel is
engaged. Toggle the pedal to neutral and ensure that the steer wheel disengages.
______Siderails move, latch and stow properly.
______All controls of the foot end panel working properly, including LEDs.
______Calibrate the scale (optional). Refer to the “Scale Calibration Procedure”.
______All siderail controls working properly.
______Ensure that the nurse call (optional) alarm sounds in the nurse station.
______ Verify the CPR emergency release using both CPR release handles: raise the Fowler fully up and, using the
CPR handle, lower the Fowler gradually to 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 actuator to reset
- and verify that the actuator has indeed reset itself by raising the Fowler fully up.
______Verify the Fowler, Gatch and Hi-Lo movements to ensure that the motion interrupt switch integrated to the four
electric motors is operating properly.
______Auxiliary outlet (option available only with 120VAC beds) working properly.
______Night light working properly.
______No cracks in the headboard or footboard, siderails, wheel covers, steer wheel hood (optional) and plastic covers
(optional) of the head and foot sections.
______Head end bumpers tightly secured to frame and working properly.
______No rips or cracks in mattress cover. Replace if so.
______Power cord intact.
______No cables pinched or worn.
______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 1-8).
______Check labels as specified in the Operations and Maintenance manuals for legibility, proper adherence and
integrity.
