CHECKLIST
_____ All fasteners secure (reference all assembly drawings) .
_____ The head and foot section molded shells are properly attached to the section structures .
_____ Inspect the oil-impregnated bronze shoulder spacers (found at bed hinge points) for excessive wear . Do not
lubricate these spacers . Replace as needed .
_____ Check the grease present on the components detailed in the "Lubrication Requirements" section of the Maintenance
Manual . Lubricate as needed . Lubricate them at least every two years .
_____ On both sides of the bed, depress fully down the side of the pedal identified with a red sticker and ensure that
the brakes are applied and the bed immobilized . Toggle the pedal to neutral and ensure the brakes are
released .
_____ On both sides of the bed, depress fully down the side of the pedal identified with a green sticker and ensure
