SEMI-ELECTRIC BED ASSEMBLY
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely.
CAUTION–
Do not operate bed controls before bed is completely assembled. Damage to
bed components or injury may occur.
Connecting Head and Foot Sections
1. Place the head end at a right angle (90 degrees) to the foot end. The head end
should be on its side to your left with the center mounting hooks to your right
(Figure 16). The foot end (with motors) should be to your right with the head
spring pull tube at the top and the center mounting rivets pins facing to the left. For
electric foot ends, the motors should be to your right, and for manual foot ends the
crank handles will be to your right.
2. Engage the head end hooks into the foot end pins (Figure 17).
NOTE–
It may be necessary to lift slightly on the head end or foot end to secure the
mounting hooks and pins.
3. Rotate the back section 90 degrees, making the frame assembly a straight line
(Figure 18).
Connecting Fabric of Head and Foot Sections
1. Press the "FOOT UP" button on the hand pendant (see Semi-Electric Bed Operation) or
use emergency crank to turn motor shaft clockwise to raise the foot end (Figure 19).
2. Hook together all the links on the mattress surface (Figure 20).
Connecting Head Spring Drive Tube
1. Disconnect the head drive tube assembly from the side frame of the foot spring by
removing the hitch pin, grommet and washer from the clevis pin (Figure 21).
2. Extend the inner drive tube shaft until the detent button clicks into the adjustment
hole of the outer drive tube. Make sure the detent button protrudes through the
adjustment hole of the extended drive tube arm (Figure 22). The drive tube arm will
line up with the lift arm slot.
3. Attach the drive tube end assembly to the lift arm of the head spring by inserting
the clevis pin into the lift arm slot. Reconnect the grommet and washer and fasten
with hitch pin (Figure 23).
4. After assembling frame, lay bed flat.
