Description of the Power Drive
The Power Drive 360 is an assistive device for the movement of the bariatric bed easing the
transport of patients. The device is battery powered to provide complete flexibility in transport
without the constraint of a power cord. The drive wheel is retractable to allow more traditional,
manual movement, when desired. It is set-up so that only the care provider is able to access the
controls. It is not intended, nor has the ability for the patient to use any mobility controls.
WARNING:
Be sure to secure the patient before operating the power drive.
WARNING:
Avoid feet in the path of the bed when using the power drive.
The power drive is powered by two 12V 26AH SLA (sealed lead acid) batteries. The drive
includes a charging system to recharge the batteries, when necessary. To charge the batteries,
plug the cord into a grounded or hospital grade outlet. A maximum charge time of 12 hours is
recommended, although a full charge may be complete in 2-4 hours.
