Fold Down Siderail Latch Adjustment - Stryker 747 Manual De Mantenimiento

FOLD DOWN SIDERAIL LATCH ADJUSTMENT

Tools Required:
• 1/8" Hex Allen Wrench
WARNING
The siderail latches are preset at the factory, and do not normally need adjustment . If adjustment must be done, it is
important to follow the procedure below . If adjustment is not done properly, injury to the patient or user could result .
Procedure:
1 . Using a 1/8" hex Allen wrench, adjust the hex Allen screw located on the latch assembly opposite the latch . Turning
the screw clockwise will decrease the amount of "play" in the latching mechanism . Turning counterclockwise will
increase the amount .
Note: The amount of "play" in the siderail, when in full up engaged position, should be approximately 1/8" to 3/16" .
CAUTION
Too much "play" when the siderail is in the full up engaged position will give the siderail the appearance of being un-
stable and could also cause premature wearing of the latch system .
Too little "play" will obstruct the latch and keep it from engaging completely in the full up position, which may result in
damage to the latch and/or injury to the patient or user .
