rotate toward the headboard, foot rails rotate toward the footboard. The rail will automatically lock
in the UP position.

Page 27 of 112

During extended periods of disconnect from an AC power outlet, the battery is susceptible to permanent
damage caused by being deep discharged. All Spirit™ beds are equipped with a disconnect feature which
automatically disengages the battery from the battery circuit to prevent damage from being deep discharged.

There is no need to disconnect the battery when a Spirit™ bed is going to be put into storage, however, the

CB10 control box will continue to draw power until the battery voltage has hit the 18V threshold which triggers
the automatic circuit disconnection.

IMPORTANT: A battery voltage of 18V is insufficient to operate the bed. Reconnect bed to an AC power
outlet as soon as possible to and allow battery to charge for a period of 24hr to ensure that the bed will
reliably operate on battery power when needed.

IMPORTANT: To conserve battery life during storage and transport, disconnect the battery from the CB10
control box. On Spirit™ beds equipped with CB10 control boxes, even if a battery was fully charged when it
was unplugged from the control box, the bed will not operate on battery power if the battery is simply
reconnected to the control box. The bed must be connected to an AC power outlet to energize the battery
circuit. This will enable bed operation on battery power.

CAUTION

DO NOT re-use any original packaging material to transport the bed.

ALWAYS transport the bed by rolling the bed on its casters.

ALWAYS ensure the Central “Lock & Steer” system is in the “BRAKE” position before

attempting to lift/lower bed. ALWAYS ensure that the Central “Lock & Steer” system is in
the “BRAKE” position after the bed is loaded onto transportation vehicle. Use additional

strapping or tie downs as necessary to ensure the bed does not move while in transport.

DO NOT use the siderails as a means of mechanically restraining the bed during

transportation and/or storage. DO NOT use the siderails as lifting points for the bed during
transportation and/or storage.

NOTE:

CHG Hospital Beds recommends that following any storage and/or transportation in
extreme temperature conditions that you allow the bed to acclimatize for a period of at
least 24 hours before the bed is operated/powered up and/or put into service.

CAUTION

When beds are configured with no side rails: Keep the bed in the lowest position
with the wheels locked and patient lock-outs on as prescribed by the care plan when
occupied, adjusting the level for activities such as administering care or for patient transfers
in/out of bed. Transport patients as prescribed by the care plan.

1.16 Ultra-Low Feature

The Spirit™ product line is a family of ultra-low beds, designed to reduce patient injury due to falls out of bed.
Therefore, in an effort to reduce patient injury, CHG Hospital Beds recommends that you ALWAYS lower the
bed completely to the lowest position before leaving a patient unattended.

When configuring a bed with no rails:

Regardless of the purpose for which bed rails are being used or considered, a decision to utilize or remove
those in current use should occur within the framework of an individual patient assessment. For Further
information refer to the FDA’s website at http:/www.fda.gov/cdrh/beds/ for Clinical Guidance for the
Assessment and Implementation of Bed Rails in Hospital, Long Term Care Facilities, and Home Care Settings.

Available floor mats, mattresses with side bolsters, bed exit alarm, and nurse call can be used in conjunction
with the low bed based on the patient assessment and care plan.

3.2 Bed Control

Depending on the Spirit™ bed you purchased, you will have two or three locations for controlling bed
functions.

Control Location

Patient Handheld Control (Pendant)

Optional

Footboard Staff Control

Standard

Patient/Staff Siderail Controls

Standard

All Spirit™ beds can be configured to connect an optional patient, handheld, 6
function control (pendant).

The pendant offers patient control of basic bed operations:

 Head UP/DOWN,
 Knee/Foot UP/DOWN

 Bed UP/DOWN

Pendant Storage

The pendant can be affixed to the bed using a holder. The pendant slips into the
holder for easy location and convenient patient access.

On Spirit™ beds equipped with high siderails:

Install the pendant holder into the opening in either foot rail panel. To permanently
affix the holder to the bed, screws the holder to the foot rail panel with the fasteners
provided.

Optionally, the pendant can be secured to the bed linens with the linen clip provided.
Choose a clip location so that the pendant is within easy reach by the patient.

Pendant Connection

The pendant can be connected on either side of the bed
(the connection port is just beneath the seat section of
the mattress deck on both sides of the bed).

To relocate the pendant to the opposite side of the bed,
first, unscrew the threaded retaining cap then carefully
disconnect the jack. Reconnect the pendant control cable
to the existing port on the other side of the bed.

Pendant Port Alignment and Care

Ensure that the indexing arrows are aligned to enable connection.
Insert pendant cable into pendant port until O-ring seats into pendant
port and then thread on retaining cap to retain this connection.

To ensure that the pendant port remains free of dirt and debris,
ALWAYS cap any pendant port not in use. The threaded cap is simply
screwed onto the unused end of the pendant T-cable.

If you relocate the pendant to the other side of the bed, ensure that
you cap the unused pendant port.

3.5 Patient Lock-Out Functions

Patient Lock-Outs restrict the patient from initiating head, knee, and bed motion from the siderail controls or
the pendant (if equipped). The degree of restriction depends on the Lock-Out option selected.

Activating Patient Lock-Out

Staff may choose to restrict patient access to one, two, or all three bed functions.
To restrict a bed function, press the Patient Lock-Out button under that particular
function. The Lock-Out button indicator will illuminate when patient control of a
particular function has been Locked-Out.

IMPORTANT: Patient Lock-Outs restrict bed operation from both of the siderail
controls and pendant (if equipped).

Deactivating Patient Lock-Out

To deactivate any/all Patient Lock-Out(s), simply press the Patient Lock-Out
button(s) again. When a Patient Lock-Out button is no longer illuminated, patient
control of that particular function has been restored.

NOTE:

When Patient Lock-Outs have been activated, the footboard staff control remains fully active.

To completely restrict access to all bed functions (except the Electronic CPR function) from all control
locations (staff and patient controls), use the Master Lock-Out function.

Activating Master Lock-Out

To activate the Master Lock-Out, press-and-hold all three Patient Lock-Out
buttons at the same time. All three Patient Lock-Out button indicators will flash
sequentially to indicate that Master Lock-Out has been activated.

IMPORTANT: Master Lock-Out restricts bed operation from all control locations
(both siderail controls and the footboard staff control).

Deactivating Master Lock-Out

To deactivate the Master Lock-Out function, simply repeat this process. Press-and­hold all three Patient Lock-Out buttons at the same time. When all three Patient

Lock-Out buttons are no longer flashing sequentially, Master Lock-Out has been
deactivated and both staff and patient control from all control locations has been
restored.

NOTE:

When Master Lock-Out has been activated, the Electronic CPR function, Nurse Call, and the
underbed light remain operable.

WARNING

When a patient is left unattended, the bed should ALWAYS be lowered to its lowest
position and the bed elevation controls should be locked-out in order to reduce the risk of
patient injury.

Page 46 of 112

3.5.3 Security Lock-Out

The Security Lock-Out feature allows for a high-security lock-out of ALL bed functions (including the
Electronic CPR function). A

“User Passcode”

is required to perform any/all bed functions. The Security

Lock-Out feature must be activated or deactivated as required by the facility.

WARNING

IMPORTANT: When the Security Lock-Out feature has been activated, ALL bed operation
including the Electronic CPR function from any control location (footboard staff

control, both siderail controls, and pendant) is restricted.

Activating the Security Lock-Out Feature

To deactivate the Security Lock-Out feature, a User Passcode must first be created. The User Passcode
must be between 1 and 6 digits long. The digits are interpreted from a virtual numeric keypad
superimposed over the footboard staff control buttons. Imagine the numbers 1 2 3, 4 5 6, 7 8 9, just as
they would appear on a telephone. This is demonstrated below.

Guidelines for Choosing a User Passcode

The number of digits chosen for the User Passcode will determine the level of security provided. A single
digit User Passcode is easy for staff to remember and unlock but offers virtually no security. A six digit User
Passcode offers very high security but may be a nuisance to staff.

 It is recommended that simple “lines” such as 1-2-3 or 1-4-7 are not chosen since they are relatively

easy to guess.

 It is recommended that the code contains at least one of the Patient Lock-Out buttons (7, 8, or 9)

since these buttons are not generally used during normal bed operation therefore adding an
enhanced level of security.

 Codes that contain repeating digits (i.e.: 1-3-1-7) can enhance security since they are considerably

less likely to be guessed.

 Codes that contain patterns of digits (i.e.: all four corners) can help staff remember the User

Passcode but offer slightly less security than random codes.

1-70-006 – A User Manual - Spirit Plus

CHG Hospital Beds

Page 47 of 112

Creating/Changing User Passcode

A User Passcode must first be created before the Security Lock-Out feature can be activated.

To Create the User Passcode:

1. Press the Bed Lock-Out, Knee Lock-Out, and Contour buttons simultaneously. These three Lock-Out

buttons will then begin to flash to indicate that the bed is now ready to receive the Security Access Code.

2. Enter the Security Access Code.

Security Access Code: “1881 825 153”

IMPORTANT: This Security Access Code is factory set and is not customizable

3. Once the Security Access Code has been successfully entered, an audible “chirp” will sound three

times and the Contour button will also begin to flash to indicate that the bed is now ready to receive
the customized User Passcode.

4. Enter a 1 to 6 digit User Passcode of your choosing. Time-out will occur if more than 30 seconds

elapses between User Passcode digit input.

5. When the User Passcode has been entered, press the Contour button to complete the process. An

audible “chirp” will sound to indicate that the User Passcode has been set and that the Security Lock­Out feature has now been activated.

NOTE: DO NOT allow patients to learn either the Security Access Code or the User Passcode or the Security
Lock-Out feature could become compromised!

To Change the User Passcode:

In the event that the User Passcode has been lost or compromised, a new User Passcode can be created.
Simply repeat the above steps to change the User Passcode. The User Passcode can be changed as often as
required to maintain effective control of the Security Lock-Out feature

If, for some reason, you wish to abort the User Passcode creation/change procedure, simply press the Bed
Lock-Out, Knee Lock-Out, and Contour buttons simultaneously to exit User Passcode set up mode. An audible
“chirp” will sound twice and the bed will return to its previous state (Security Lock-Out activated or
deactivated). The bed will also automatically return to its previous state after 30 seconds of keypad inactivity.

Locking/Unlocking the Bed for use by Staff

To enable any/all bed functions, the bed must be unlocked.

To unlock the Security Lock-Out:

1. Enter the 1 to 6 digit User Passcode.

2. Once the User Passcode has been successfully entered, an audible “chirp” will sound and the three

Patient Lock-Out buttons will begin to flash to indicate that the bed is now unlocked. All bed
functions are now available from all control locations (the footboard staff control and both siderail
controls).

IMPORTANT: There is no feedback during this step. If you make a mistake, or if nothing happens after the
User Passcode has been entered, simply re-enter the User Passcode starting at the first digit again There is

no need to “cancel” or abort the procedure if you make a mistake while entering the User Passcode as the
bed is “looking” only for the complete sequence of digits that comprise the User Passcode.

To re-lock the bed:

When you are finished adjusting the bed positions, press any one of the flashing Patient Lock-Out buttons to
re-lock the bed. An audible “chirp” will sound twice to indicate the bed has been re-locked.

OR

The bed will automatically re-lock after 30 seconds of keypad inactivity.

Deactivating the Security Lock-Out Feature

To restore normal bed operation (i.e.: full time control of bed functions from any control location), the
Security Lock-Out feature must be deactivated.

To deactivate the Security Lock-Out feature:

1. Press the Bed Lock-Out, Knee Lock-Out, and Contour buttons simultaneously. These three buttons

will then begin to flash to indicate that the bed is now ready to receive the Security Access Code.

2. Enter the Security Access Code (NOT the User Passcode).

3. Once the Security Access Code has been successfully entered, an audible “chirp” will sound three

times and the Contour button will begin to flash.

4. Press the Contour button. An audible “chirp” will sound twice to indicate that the Security Lock-Out

feature has now been deactivated.

WARNING

When the Security Lock-Out feature has been activated, the Electronic CPR function will
NOT work. The Security Lock-Out feature is only intended to be used by qualified medical
practitioners on a case-by-case basis based upon clinically assessed needs of the patient as
requiring a hospital bed having restricted motion. CHG Hospital Beds strongly recommends
that Security Lock-Out NEVER be activated when the bed is in normal ward use.

NOTE:

After a hard reset, all bed settings will be automatically restored. The Security Lock-Out
feature will be deactivated after a hard reset.

3.6 Other Bed Functions & Features

All Spirit™ beds are equipped with one Nurse Call port to accommodate Nurse Call control.

The Nurse Call port is located on the underside of the headboard mounting
bracket on the patient right side of the bed.

To operate the Nurse Call feature, press the red NURSE button on the rail
patient control (inside of each head rail control). This will send a Nurse Call
signal to the nurses’ station when appropriately connected to the
communication system of your healthcare facility.

Operation of the Nurse Call feature requires a conventional connection cable

(not supplied) to be plugged into the ¼” Phono jack on the headboard

mounting bracket and into the designated outlet in the patient station.

Ensure that the attached “dummy plug” is inserted to an inactive Nurse Call
port.

The “dummy plug” has an integral lanyard that is screw connected to the
headboard mounting bracket to ensure that the “dummy plug” is not lost

when the Nurse Call port is being used.
All Spirit™ beds are equipped with a standard 37 pin connector to accommodate connection to the

communication system typical of most healthcare facilities.

The 37 pin connector is located on the underside of the headboard mounting
bracket directly beside the Nurse Call port on the patient right side of the
bed.

The “pin outs” for the 37 pin connector have been configured to work with
the communication set-up typical of most 37 pin enabled healthcare facilities.
If the configuration of the communication system used in your healthcare
facility differs from conventional set-up, successful interconnection can only
be guaranteed through the use of interconnection cables that have been
specifically configured for your application.

If your healthcare facility requires a particular interconnection cable
configuration, CHG Hospital Beds offers customized interconnection cables.
Contact your sales representative for details.

3.6.3 Spirit Plus™ Power Status Indicator

The footboard staff control on Spirit Plus™ beds is equipped with an integrated power

status indicator. This cluster of 3 discrete icons indicates the real-time status of power
available to operate the bed. The icons will illuminate respective of the source of
power, the operation of the battery charging circuit, and the level of battery power.

The battery is continuously charged when connected to the CB10 control box and
the bed is plugged into an AC power outlet. If the battery voltage drops below
18VDC, battery power will be automatically disrupted to prevent further discharge
which could impact the battery’s ability to fully recharge. When the bed is plugged
back into an AC power outlet, battery power will be automatically restored.

Indicator LED is Solid GREEN

Bed is connected to an AC power outlet and operating on AC power. The battery is connected to the CB10 control box
and is fully charged. Bed is ready to operate on battery power if required. This is the optimum operating condition for
the bed.

Indicator LED is Flashing GREEN

Bed is connected to an AC power outlet and operating on AC power. The battery is connected to the CB10 control box
but is currently recharging.

Indicator LED is Alternating Flashing GREEN and RED

IMPORTANT: Bed may not reliably operate on battery power if required.

Bed is connected to an AC power outlet and operating on AC power. The battery is connected to the CB10 control box
but not holding proper charge. Service bed and/or replace battery immediately.

OR

The battery is not connected to the CB10 control box. Connect battery to CB10 and allow battery to charge for 24hr.

Indicator LED is Solid RED

Bed is disconnected from an AC power outlet and is operating on battery power. The battery is connected to the CB10
control box and has not yet exhausted the available battery power. Bed is OK to operate on battery power but it should
be connected to an AC power outlet as soon as is possible to recharge the battery.

IMPORTANT: Exercise caution when operating the bed on battery power. Ensure that only vital and necessary bed
functions are performed to extend battery power as long as possible and ensure emergency functions remain available
when needed.

Indicator LED is Flashing RED

Bed is disconnected from an AC power outlet and has been operating on battery power. Although the battery is
connected to the CB10 control box, it has exhausted its battery power. Reconnect bed to an AC power outlet as soon as
possible and allow battery to charge for 24hr.

IMPORTANT: At this point, reliable bed operation cannot be guaranteed although some bed functionality may still be
available. Exercise caution operating the bed as the bed will cease operation without warning.

No Indicator LED illumination

IMPORTANT: Bed may NOT operate.

The bed has been disconnected from an AC power outlet and the battery is disconnected from the CB10 control box.
Reconnect bed to an AC power outlet and allow battery to charge for 24hr.

OR

The bed has a faulty connection or component (CB09 control box, CB10 control box, battery, and/or connection cable).
Confirm all connections and begin troubleshooting potentially faulty components.

OR

The bed has been disconnected from an AC power outlet and the battery has been automatically disengaged from the
battery circuit because the voltage has dropped below 18VDC. Reconnect bed to an AC power outlet and allow battery
to charge for 24hr.

NOTE:

A new back-up battery, when fully charged, has sufficient power to deliver the equivalent of
approximately 5 CPR cycles with a patient weight of 250 lbs. Battery power discharge rate depends
upon factors such as patient weight, age of battery, ambient temperature and humidity, and the
number of charge/discharge cycles the battery has been subjected to. For example, the heavier the
patient, the faster battery power will be exhausted during battery powered bed operation.
Conversely, the lighter the patient, battery power may offer a longer duration of battery powered
bed operation.

components and/or assemblies that came equipped with the bed. Variations in siderail design,
(width, height, shape, profiles, opening, locking/latching mechanisms, etc.) could cause/contribute to
patient entrapment and/or could potentially increase the probability/possibility for patient
entrapment.

CAUTION

DO NOT use the siderails as a patient lifting device/apparatus. Siderails can be deformed or broken
if excessive side loading/pressure is exerted. The siderails are used for the purpose of preventing a
patient from inadvertently rolling out of bed.

DO NOT use the siderails as part of a patient restraint mechanism. Siderails are NOT intended for
nor may be used for restraint purposes. If a patient is capable of inflicting self-injury or injury to
staff, a physician or other suitably trained healthcare practitioner should be consulted for alternate

means of safe patient restraint. The Spirit™ bed is equipped with 6 patient restraint loops for this

purpose.

CAUTION

When operating the bed, ALWAYS ensure that the individuals using the bed is positioned properly
on the mattress within the confines of the bed.

DO NOT let any patient extremities protrude over the side and/or between the siderails when
operating the bed.

CAUTION

DO NOT use the siderails as lifting points for the bed during transportation and/or storage.

DO NOT use the siderails as a means of mechanically restraining the bed during transportation

and/or storage.

All Spirit™ bed siderail assemblies fully comply with FDA and Health Canada patient entrapment reduction
guidelines and have successfully passed rail entrapment testing using test procedures outlined by the Hospital
Bed Safety Workgroup. Spirit™ bed siderail assemblies were qualified using the Cone and Cylinder Tool as
specified by FDA and Health Canada patient entrapment reduction guidelines. Entrapment Test Kits are readily
available so on-going compliance can be monitored by the healthcare provider. For further information, refer
to the FDA’s website at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/beds/.

3.7.1 Intended Application/Use of Spirit™ Bed Siderail Assemblies

When fully raised/closed and locked/latched in the UP position, the siderails define a residence area for
patients to rest upon the bed. This provides positive patient location/support helping to protect against the
potential for patients to fall from the bed as the siderails give the patient a visual and physical indicator of the
edge of the bed. When fully lowered/open in the DOWN position, the siderails permit patient ingress to and
egress from the bed. The integral handles common to all siderails facilitate patient mobility by providing a
gripping region during ingress to and egress from the bed.

5.3 Controls Servicing

If in the rare event that the two Hi-Lo actuators become out-of-sync with one another, the bed may not
completely lower or the mattress deck on the bed may appear to be in a slight angle similar to when it has been
put into a Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg position. The bed may also cease to perform all
elevation/descent bed motion. In this case, the bed may require a “soft reset” to re-establish proper Hi-Lo
actuator synchronization and/or restore proper bed operation.

Soft Reset Procedure

1. PRESS and HOLD the BED DOWN button from

any control location (footboards staff control, either
staff siderail controls or pendant) until the bed
automatically begin to lower. One end of the bed
may completely lower before the other.

This is

perfectly normal.

2. CONTINUE to HOLD the BED DOWN button until

both ends of the bed have been completely lowered
and the bed automatically stops all motion and the
two tone audible indicator sounds. Continue to Hold
bed down for an additional 20 seconds to complete
the Soft Reset. The Hi-Lo actuators have now been
re-synchronized.

If the CB10 control box firmware has been updated or, in the rare event communication is lost between the
footboard staff controls and the CB10 control box, the controls may require a “hard reset” to re-establish proper
component-to-component communication and/or restore proper bed operation.

IMPORTANT: This event does not occur by simply removing the footboard from the bed as would be routinely
performed during normal use of the bed.

Hard Reset Procedure

1. Disengage the foot and knee deck sections of the

mattress deck to gain access to the CB10 control box.
Refer to page 78 for instructions.

2. Disconnect (unplug) the bed from the AC power outlet.

3. Disconnect battery cable from the side of the CB10

control box. This will disrupt power to the CB10 control
box and the close the battery charging circuit relay.
Wait 5 seconds to ensure that the CB10 circuit board is
de-energized. Reconnect battery cable into the side of
the CB10 control box.

4. PRESS and HOLD the HEAD DOWN and KNEE DOWN

buttons from either of the staff siderail controls while
you reconnect (plug in) the bed to an AC power outlet.

A confirmation “chirp” will sound to indicate the
successful completion of the “hard reset” procedure.

5. Re-engage the deck sections by aligning the hinge

fingers and pressing the two deck sections together.
Refer to page 78 for instructions.

HINT: It may be helpful to have another person plug in the power supply cord while you PRESS and HOLD
the HEAD DOWN and KNEE DOWN buttons.

The firmware on Spirit™ beds equipped with the CB10 control box can be updated using a “miniSD” card.
Each CB10 control box is equipped with a miniSD card slot to facilitate the firmware update procedure.

Accessing the Card Slot in the CB10 Control Box

To access the miniSD card slot:

1. Raise the bed to its maximum height.

2. The miniSD card slot is now easily accessible. It is located in the lower

patient right side of the CB10 control box at the foot end of the bed.

HINT: It may be easier to access the miniSD card slot while kneeling at the foot end
of the elevated bed looking towards the head end of the bed under the mattress
deck rather than attempting to access it from above with the deck sections removed.

Page 77 of 112

Firmware Update Procedure

1. Disconnect (unplug) the bed from the AC power

outlet.

2. Disconnect battery cable from the CB10 control box.

3. Gently insert miniSD card into the card slot in

CB10 control box until it is fully seated.

4. Reconnect (plug in) the bed to the AC power

outlet.

5. The firmware update process will start

automatically. Once complete, the CB10
control box will then automatically reboot.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT interrupt the firmware update process. Premature removal of the SD card could
result in an incomplete firmware flash. This may render the CB10 control box inoperable!

6. Disconnect (unplug) the bed from the AC power

outlet.

7. Remove miniSD card from the CB10 control box.

8. Perform a “hard reset” of the controls. Refer to page 76 for instructions.

The bed with the updated firmware is now ready for use.

To obtain the latest version of firmware contact CHG Hospital Beds’
Customer Service.

For the CB10 control box, miniSD cards, preloaded with appropriate
firmware, is available. In some cases, CHG Hospital Beds may provide
an updated version of firmware via email. This can then be loaded onto
an existing miniSD card (non-HC format) by first inserting it into any
commercially available miniSD to SD card adapter (see right) and
then inserting the adapter into a standard SD card reader or SD card
slot on a computer.

Contact CHG Hospital Beds’ Customer Service for further details.

Example of miniSD card and SD card
adapter used for CB10 firmware updates

IMPORTANT: Only beds with firmware version of 2.10 or newer (numerically higher) can be updated using the
miniSD card. If the firmware update procedure failed to automatically initiate, contact CHG Hospital Beds’ Customer
Service for alternate firmware update options.

NOTE:

CHG Hospital Beds maintains a history file for every Spirit™ bed. After the firmware has
been successfully updated, contact CHG Hospital Beds’ Customer Service at (519) 963-

4010 or Toll Free 1 [phone] with the date of the firmware update, the bed serial

number, and the firmware version number to ensure that the bed’s history file is

appropriately updated.

5.4 Mattress Deck Removal

1. Lift the foot and knee sections

together until the angle between
them is greater than 90º.

2. Lift the foot section away from

the knee section at the hinge,
to separate the sections.

3. Disengage the foot bail from

the frame by flexing the two
ends together as shown.

NOTE: If you are considering removing deck sections in attempts to
gain access to the CB10 control box, no deck sections need to be
removed from the bed.

From step 1 above, simply continue to rotate the foot section up until it
comes to rest against as shown right.

The CB10 control box is now accessible.

Once the foot section is removed, the
knee section can be separated from
the stationary (bolted) seat section.
Lift the knee section until it is at an
angle of 90° to the seat section.

Using a horizontal force, strike the
knee section near the hinge to
separate these two sections.

Elevate the head section (back
rest) to an angle of 55°.

Using a 3/16” Allen key, remove both

shoulder bolts fastening the head
deck (back rest) to the head gatch.

Locate both head siderail control
cables. Follow cables down to where
they are retained on the frame.
Using wire cutters, cut both zip ties.

All four sections of the composite mattress deck can be detached for thorough cleaning, sanitization, and maintenance.

removed from the bed.

NOTE:

Re-engage the deck sections by aligning the hinge fingers and pressing the two deck
sections together.

When reinstalling any section of the mattress deck, ensure that all hinges are
COMPLETELY engaged before attempting to articulate the connection.

Check for proper engagement by gently articulating the head, knee, and foot sections of the
mattress deck up and down. The head, knee, and foot sections of mattress deck should
articulate freely without binding.

5.4.5 Mattress Deck Removal - Seat Section

The seat section is attached to the bed frame with two bolts fasteners. Although it is not designed for routine
removal, it can be removed, if necessary.

Bed Equipped With
Obstruction Sensing Option

Bed will not lower when
DOWN button pressed

Bed behaves like it is
contacting an obstruction
when none are obvious

1. If no obstruction is present, carefully inspect each obstruction sensor for signs

of damage (gouge, dent, etc.). Damage could cause false switch contact to be
made. If no damage is obvious, continue to next step. If damage is obvious,
replace damaged obstruction sensor(s)

The obstruction sensors are linked in “series” to form an electrical circuit. The

circuit series is linked as follows: CB10 control box, interconnection cable, top leg
cover sensor, interconnection cable, caster cover sensor, interconnection cable,
bottom leg cover sensor

2. Disconnect interconnection cables (between sensors) to isolate the faulty

obstruction sensor(s). Begin by disconnecting one of the bottom leg cover
sensors from the circuit. Check Bed DOWN motion. If bed does not lower,
continue by disconnecting the other bottom leg cover sensor. Check Bed DOWN
motion. If bed does not lower, continue by disconnecting one caster cover
sensor from the circuit. Continue this process until the proper Bed DOWN
motion is achieved.

3. Reconnect obstruction sensor cables for functional obstruction sensors. Confirm

Bed DOWN motion is working.

4. Replace damaged obstruction sensor(s)
