- Attach drive shaft to the hi/lo motor output shaft facing head end of the bed.
- Attach the hi/lo motor to the foot end gear box as follows:
- Locate the hi/lo motor output shaft spring loader coupler.
- Ensure the hi/lo motor output shaft spring-loaded coupler is properly aligned with the foot end gear box.
- Release the hi/lo motor output shaft spring-loaded coupler by pushing in against the hi/lo motor output shaft spring-loaded coupler and turning clockwise.
