Chapter 3 Theory of Operation Electrical System HI/LO A dual actuator system operates the HI/LO function. The actuators extend at the same time to raise the bed. The actuators retract at the same time to lower the bed. Backrest A single actuator extends to raise and retracts to lower the backrest. This actuator is also fitted with a cable-operated quick release system.
Electrical System Chapter 3: Theory of Operation Backrest and Knee-Break One control operates both the backrest and the knee-break function at the same time. The knee-break will reach the end of stroke before the backrest. The knee-break actuator is fitted with internal limit switches so it will stop at the end of the stroke.
