Bed Transport Bar (Figure 32)
1. Bed transport bar is designed to easily move the
WeCare™ Bed, particularly when it is lowered
onto its casters. Note: The WeCare Bed is not
designed for use as resident/patient transport
devices. Prior to use, please read important
warnings related to bed transport bar and follow all
instructions below.
2. Install bed transport bar according to supplied
instructions. If needed, call Technical Support at
800-826-0270 for instructions.
3. When using bed transport bar to move beds,
always push down and forward on handle.
Pushing up or attempting to use transport bar to
lift bed, especially when crossing over thresholds,
may cause it to disconnect from bed, resulting in
loss of control of bed.
4. Take extra care when moving bed (remember, do
not move bed while occupied by resident/patient)
on any sloped surface. Moving a bed on a sloped
surface requires two people, one at each end of
the bed. Never use bed transport bar to move
bed on a slope that exceeds ANSI and/or ADA
requirements for accessibility.

Trapeze And Trapeze Adapter
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Improper
installation of the trapeze adapter could alter or
dislodge the head panel position, increasing the risk of
injury or su󰀨ocation.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions when installing the trapeze
bar. Improper installation of the trapeze bar on the
trapeze adapter could cause the trapeze bar to
disconnect/collapse or otherwise fail, resulting in injury
or death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. A minimum of
1-inch clearance between the bottom of the trapeze
bar and the oor is required when the bed is in its
lowest position. Failure to do so could damage the
oor and/or cause the bed to become unstable,
resulting in injury or death.

®
