When replacing any actuator on the Shuttle 1.Put the Shuttle in the LOWEST POSITION. When performing maintenance to the foot section motors or actuators it is recommended that the foot straps are removed on the top deck and the top deck is folded over to gain access to the actuators or motors from above. 2.Always lift the top deck and fold it over to gain access to the actuators or motors from above. 1.The bed must be lowered to the LOWEST POSITION with the head and foot articulation in the LOWEST POSITION. When adjusting or removing ANY actuators or motors on the Bari-Rehab platform or the Low Bed. The axles will still drop when the actuators are removed. ![]() Safety Equipment You CANNOT use the hydraulic jack to support the frame when replacing actuators or motors on the beds or Shuttles. This lock is required to be used when operating the jack. The hydraulic jack has a safety lock to prevent the jack from lowering unexpectedly. Safety Equipment The hydraulic jack is to be used to hoist the bed to replace casters, load cells or other repairs to prevent injury from falling equipment. This safety equipment is shipping from the parts department and will be arriving at your site very shortly! Site Safety Equipment Each site is being provided with a hydraulic jack and jack stands to assist all employees in safely performing required maintenance on equipment. GRAVITY POTENTIAL ENERGY WHAT GOES UP, MUST COME DOWN! It can’t fall up! Multiple injuries have occurred from employees performing maintenance on equipment without the equipment being properly supported. NEVER remove actuators, motors, caster or load cells from under any equipment that has the potential energy to fall on you! Use stands or the hydraulic jack to prevent equipment from falling and causing a preventable injury. Why would you do this? Performing any work under any equipment is a recipe for injury. Would you do this? Can you identify the Potential energy in this photo? Gives a new definition of trust. Use PPE to protect the head from the “Potential Energy” of items falling from above. Gravity can control potential energy! For example : A 700 lb bed in the highest position has the Potential to release it’s Energy when the bolts are removed from the actuator. Potential energy can be thought of as energy stored within a physical system. That could hurt! We do not even need to get into the whole welding up a gas tank discussion. ![]() Would you do this? Gravity will be the force that brings down the truck. Sir Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727) realized that the force called "gravity" must make an apple fall from a tree, he deduced that gravity forces exist between all objects. Reach, sprain, strain, trip and fall hazards? What about this photo? Heavy and awkward items stored high above head. 4.Potential Fire Hazard The risk to employees in this environment is high! ![]() 2.Reach, Sprain, Strain and Fall injuries. How many risks can you define in this photo? 1.Heavy Items stored above the head. How about these photos? Still too obvious? What potential risks do you see in this photo? I bet the risks are obvious! One worker supporting the weight of the other on a board! Properly using the Company provided safety equipment is everyone’s responsibility. Recognizing and reporting potential risks is everyone’s responsibility. Sizewise Rentals is committed to providing each employee with a safe and healthy work environment.
