USING THE BRAKE/STEER PEDALS
The brake/steer pedals are located at the center of the base frame on both sides of the bed.
S
To engage the brakes, fully depress the head end side of the pedal. To disengage the brakes, depress
the foot end side of the pedal until the pedal is in the neutral (level) position.
S
To engage the steer function, fully depress the foot end of the pedal until the steer wheel engages. To
disengage the steer function, depress the head end side of the pedal until the pedal is in the neutral (level)
position.
NOTE
The steer function locks the foot end, right side caster to make the bed easier to maneuver forward and back-
ward. Put the pedal in the neutral position when maneuvering the bed from side to side.
USING THE MANUAL MOTOR HAND CRANK
CAUTION
To avoid injury, unplug the bed power cord from the wall socket before using the manual hand crank.
A manual override is available for the bed lift and trend motors to allow the caregiver to position the bed when
the power cord is not plugged into the wall socket. Insert the crank into either of the sockets at the head end
of the bed and rotate the crank until the desired bed position is reached.
ACTIVATING INSTANT CPR
The CPR release lever is located at the head section on both sides of the bed. To activate the CPR release,
grasp the lever and squeeze tightly. The Fowler (back section) will lower to the lowest position instantly.
WARNING
The instant CPR release is for emergency use only. Before activating the instant CPR, verify all persons and
equipment are away from the area below and around the Fowler (back section) section of the bed or serious
personal injury or damage to the equipment could occur.
