 Set–Up Procedures

SET–UP PROCEDURES
It is important that the MPS 3000 Bed is working properly before it is put into service. The following list will
help assure that each part of the bed is tested.

S Plug the bed into a properly grounded, hospital grade wall receptacle and assure the ”Power” LED light
at the foot end of the bed comes on.

WARNING
The 3000 is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must be plugged di-
rectly into a properly grounded three–prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only when a
hospital grade receptacle is used.

S Plug the optional interface cable into the 37 pin connector under the litter frame at the head end of the
bed, and into the ”Patient Station”, ”Head Wall”, ”Docker Station”, or equivalent (whichever applies).
S Assure the siderails raise, lower and store smoothly and lock in the up and intermediate positions (page
13).
S Assure that all four casters lock when the brake pedal is engaged (page 5).

NOTE
Assure that the ”Brake Not Set” LEDs located on the outside of the head end siderails and on the foot board
control panel come on when the brakes are disengaged.

S Run through each function on the foot board control panel to assure that each function is working properly
(page 10 & 11).
S Run through each function on both head end siderails to assure that each is working properly (page 14
& 15).
S Activate the motion stop system to assure it is functioning properly: press and hold down the BED DOWN
key. As the bed lowers, lift up on the motion interrupt pan (page 4) and assure the downward motion
stops. Release the pan and allow the downward motion to continue.

NOTE
The bed’s upward motion or other functions are not disrupted by the motion stop system.

If any problems are found during bed set–up, contact Stryker Customer Service at 800–327–0770.

Damaged Merchandise
ICC Regulations require that claims for damaged merchandise must be made with the carrier within fifteen
(15) days of receipt of merchandise. DO NOT ACCEPT DAMAGED SHIPMENTS UNLESS SUCH DAMAGE
IS NOTED ON THE DELIVERY RECEIPT AT THE TIME OF RECEIPT. Stryker Customer Service must be
notified immediately. Stryker will aid the customer in filing a freight claim with the appropriate carrier for dam-
ages incurred. Claim will be limited in amount to the actual replacement cost. In the event that this information
is not received by Stryker within the fifteen (15) day period following the delivery of the merchandise, or the
damage was not noted on the delivery receipt at the time of receipt, the customer will be responsible for pay-
ment of the original invoice in full.

BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION

WARNING
Before putting a patient on the bed, be sure the brakes are fully engaged.

To activate the brakes, push down once on the pedal

identified by the label at right (located at both sides of
the bed). To disengage, push down once.

NOTE
There are LED lights on the outside of the head end siderails and on the foot end control panel that will blink
when the brakes are not engaged only if the bed is plugged into a wall socket (see pages 12 &15). The brakes
will still operate properly when the bed is not plugged in.

STEER PEDAL OPERATION

The purpose of the steer caster is to help guide the bed along a straight line and to help with pivoting at corners
when the bed is moved.

To activate the steer caster, move the pedal located

at the head end of the bed to your left as shown on
the label.

NOTE
For proper ”tracking” of the steer caster, push the bed approximately 10 feet to allow the wheels to face the
direction of travel before engaging the steer pedal. If this is not done, proper ”tracking” will not occur and the
bed will be difficult to steer.
