GENERAL OPERATING & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Y
ou have just received one of the finest cribs available today. We want to make certain that you get the ultimate in-service and installation from your purchase. Your crib has been designed to give you years of satisfaction when used properly, so be sure to read
and understand this manual before placing the crib into service. Complete and mail the enclosed warranty card within 15 days to
validate warranty.
If you received your crib unassembled as a direct shipment from the factory, please unpack it carefully. Do not misplace any of the
parts or assembly hardware. After removing the crib from the carton, examine it to make certain that it has not been damaged in
shipment. Your assembly instructions contain a Parts Checklist. Use the packing list to determine the model # of your crib (circle it
above) . Then find the column listing your crib parts. The first section list the parts you received for assembling the crib. The second section lists the factory assembled parts.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
RAISING AND LOWERING SIDE GATES: Grasp both handles firmly. Lift upward and squeeze handles. Move side gate to desired
location. Release, making certain that side gate locks into place. Please note that as a safety feature, you must lift up on the handles before squeezing the handles.
CRANK (CG) MODELS: CG Models are equipped with gatch panels that are operated by two cranks. One crank raises and lowers
the head end and the second operates the foot end (knee gatch).

CRIB MAINTENANCE
Your NK crib is designed to give you many years of trouble free operation with a minimal amount of service. However, an annual
inspection is recommended just to ensure everything is functioning properly.
LUBRICATION: All working parts on your NK MEDICAL crib were well lubricated before leaving the factory. Every year or so, dependent upon usage, some parts may require additional lubrication. The 5” inch casters (3” on neonatal units) may require 5 – 6
drops of #10 spindle or equivalent oil and the crank mechanism may require some axle grease applied sparingly to the screw gear.
Should the side gates require lubrication, use a light spray of silicon lubricant.
CLEANING: Your chrome plated or powder coated crib will stand up to most industrial cleaners. However, care must be taken with
the vinyl top. Avoid use of strong detergents or solvents. Use of mild soap and water will keep the vinyl looking new for many years
to come.

Step #2 Repeat Step #1 with regard to the lock pins and taper lock slot for the opposite end. This will be the
head end of the crib. IMPORTANT: You will now have the crank end (on the gatch deck option) at the
foot end of the crib. Make sure all lock pins are secure in the taper lock slots. Use the rubber mallet to
drive the lock pins into the taper lock slots. Hit the mallet on each corner of the gatch directly above the
pins. At least two heavy mallet blows will be required to lock the pins into the taper lock slots. The crib
assembly now looks like Figure #3.
Working one side at a time, insert the slide tube (squared end first) through the top end of side gate.
Step #3
Squeeze side gate handle and position gate at lowest holes in slide tube. Install washer (concave
down), rubber bushing, washer (concave up) over squared bottom end of slide rod and insert into bottom guide brackets. Temporarily engage top of slide rod into top end bracket. Check to insure side
gate handles are facing out. Repeat this step for the second side.

side assembly over the top of slide rods, followed by curtain straps and finish by snapping top “C” channel over top of slide rods. Pull “C” channel down and push in to lock full crib side assembly under and
