GATCH MOTOR REPLACEMENT (CONTINUED)
17. To adjust the limits of the replacement thigh motor, proceed as follows:
A. Ensure the motor cable is connected to the control board and plug the power cord into the wall receptacle.
B. Position the new actuator tube holes horizontally. Grasp the tube firmly to prevent it from rotating, and press
the Gatch up control for a few seconds. Then press the down control until the motor stops. This will be the
lower limit of the motor.
C. Gently turn the tube in either direction to align the tube holes with those of the thigh section lever arms. Then
raise the Gatch a few inches while firmly holding the tube and lower it completely.
D. Check the alignment of the holes. If the tube holes are not aligned with those of the lever arms, repeat steps
B and C until they are. Once the holes are aligned, install the washers and the clevis pin. Slightly raise the
thigh section manually to ease the insertion of the clevis pin.
E. Before installing the rue ring cotter, raise and lower the Gatch completely to ensure the motor stops when
the thigh section reaches the frame.
18. Test the Gatch section for proper operation before returning the bed to service.
