Brakes
The brakes are located on both sides of the swivel caster frame assembly at the
foot end of the bed. Some models have individually operated brakes and
require that both pedals be pressed and released separately.
Siderails
Siderails are located on both sides of the ResidentTM LTC manual drive bed at
the head and foot sections. The siderails are raised and lowered independently
of each other. When not in use, safely store each siderail beneath the bed’s
sleep surface frame.
Siderails are visual reminders for residents that identify the location of the
edge of the bed. They are not intended for use as a restraint device.
Appropriate medical personnel must determine the level of restraint necessary
to ensure a resident will remain safely in bed. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
Bumper
A bumper assembly is secured to the fixed caster frame at the head end of the
bed.
CAUTION:
Removing the bumper assembly could cause damage to the bed or
facility.
IV Rod Sockets
Four IV rod sockets are provided. One is located at each outside corner of the
bed. Each socket allows installation of an IV rod (accessory).
Sleep Surface Support Frame
There are two sleep surface support frames available for use with the
ResidentTM LTC manual drive bed. The mattress supporting spring fabric frame
is 36" x 80" (91.4 cm x 203.2 cm) and has 90 supporting helical springs for the
fabric assembly. The mattress supporting optional hard pan sleep surface frame
is 36" x 80" (91.4 cm x 203.2 cm). The outer surfaces of the panels are formed
down to prevent sharp edges.

Head and Foot Panels
The head and foot panels fit over two vertical post type mountings located at
each end of the bed and are removable by lifting vertically. The hand cranks
must be detached from the manual head, knee, and hilow drive assemblies
before the foot panel can be removed. These panels provide ease of bed
mobility and steering control.
Drainage Bag Hooks
Drainage bag hooks are located on both sides of the bed beneath the sleep
surface frame near the seat section.
Mechanical Description
The ResidentTM LTC manual drive bed is manually adjusted by manipulating
the head, knee, and hilow drive assemblies.
Caregiver manual crank controls are located at the foot end of the bed (see
figure 1-8 on page 1-14). These crank handles allow the caregiver to manually
operate the head section, knee section, and hilow (bed height) to obtain the
desired elevation within their respective travel limits. They can be tucked away
in recesses in the footboard when not in use.

Turn the handle clockwise until the desired incline is achieved.
To lower the head section, turn the right hand crank at the foot end of the bed
counterclockwise until the desired incline is achieved.

To elevate the knee section, turn the left hand crank at the foot end of the bed
clockwise until the desired incline is achieved.
To lower the knee section, turn the left hand crank at the foot end of the bed
counterclockwise until the desired incline is achieved.
Steering

caster base. The ResidentTM LTC bed is not intended to be used as a
resident transport device.
Page 1 - 16ResidentTM LTC Bed Service Manual (man136rc)
Brakes
WARNING:
Set the brakes, and leave the bed in the low position when the resident
is unattended. A resident might use the bed for support when getting on
or off of the sleep surface. Give the bed a solid tug to ensure the brakes
are set. Injury to the resident may occur if the brakes are not set.
Apply the brakes by depressing the brake pedal(s) with your foot.
Release the brakes by depressing the release arm next to the brake pedal.
Head and Foot Panels
To remove the head or foot panel, lift it straight up until the mounting plates on
the panel disengage the plates welded to the IV rod sockets. Before removing
the foot panel, the hand cranks must be removed. Remove the crank handle
assemblies for the head, knee, and hilow drives by removing the nut and bolt
located at the base of each crank handle. Set panels aside in an area where they
will not be damaged.
General Operation of the ResidentTM LTC Manual Drive Bed
Chapter 1: Introduction

To install either panel, align the mounting plates on the panel with the metal
plates on the IV rod sockets. Lower the panel downward to engage. Once the
foot panel is in place, attach the crank handle assemblies to the head, knee, and
hilow drives through the slots in the mounted foot panel. Insert the screw and
nut at the base of each crank handle and tighten with a wrench.
