6.15 Adjusting Manual Mode Handles
The manual mode handle cables may require occasional adjustment to
retain proper function.
If the cot lowers without operating the handle, the cable is too tight.
Decrease cable tension.
If the cot does not lower when the handle is used, or lowers too slowly,
the cable is too loose. Increase cable tension.
Use caution when adjusting the cable tension. Use a second person
(minimum) for assistance.
1.
Use a 9/16" (14 mm) open-end wrench to loosen the jam nut (QQ,
Figure 48).
2.
Use the wrench to hold the cable nut (RR) to prevent it and the
cable from rotating.
3.
Rotate the handle assembly. As you look at the top of the handle
assembly, rotate the handle assembly clockwise to decrease cable
tension or counterclockwise (anticlockwise) to increase cable
tension.
4.
When the adjustment is correct, tighten the jam nut snug-tight.
Do not overtighten.
5.
Place approximately 150 pounds (68 kg) of weight on the cot.
(For example, use bags of sand.) Confirm that each manual mode
handle functions properly. Adjust the tension of each cable
until proper handle function is achieved. If the cable cannot be
adjusted satisfactorily, contact Ferno for repair. See "Parts and
Service" on page 46.
6.
Tighten the jam nut (QQ).

Improper adjustment of the manual mode handle cables
can lead to injury. Adjust cable tension when needed.
The cot can rapidly descend and cause injury if the manual
mode handles are activated while you are adjusting the
cable tension. Use caution when adjusting cable tension.
Improper cable tension can damage the cot. Adjust the cable
for proper function as needed.
Use caution when adjusting the cable tension. Use a second
person (minimum) for assistance.
Do not over-tighten the adjustment nut. Overtightening
can damage the handle assembly. When you have finished
adjusting the tension, snug the nut tight.
