Introduction
The Affinity® Three Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed are
intended to be used as a birthing bed within the acute care Labor and Delivery
Unit. The Affinity® Three Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed are a
three-motor birthing type bed with multiple articulation features (see “Bed
Position” on page 1-21). A variety of options are available including nurse call,
air system, night light, auxiliary outlets, and siderail controls. See “Features”
on page 1-3 for additional information concerning some of the Affinity® Three
Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed features.
NOTE:
Any reference in this manual to a side of the bed is from the point of view of a
patient lying in the bed on her back. This information appears in the manual
wherever it is pertinent.
Operating Precautions
Before operating the bed, be sure that you have read and understand in detail
the contents of this manual. It is important that you read and strictly adhere to
the safety precautions (see “Safety Tips” on page 1-21).
For additional operating precautions for the bed and its accessories, refer to the
Affinity® Three Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed User Manual
(USR025).
Features
The bed incorporates three independent motors to raise and lower the
following bed features:
• Bed height
• Foot section
• Head section (The seat section automatically tilts with head section
operation.)
These functions are governed by P.C. board logic and controlled by the use of
the siderail bed controls or an optional hand-held, six-function pendant.
Head Section Inclination
The bed is mechanized so that the patient or attendant may elevate the head
section by pressing a switch. The head up/head down switches are momentary
Introduction
contact type switches and are pictorially labeled to indicate their function. The
switches are fixed in relation to the head section and within easy access of both
the occupant and attendant, regardless of the degree of inclination.
Foot Section Inclination
The bed is mechanized so that the patient or attendant may elevate the foot
section by pressing a switch. The foot up/foot down switches are momentary
contact type switches and are pictorially labeled to indicate their function. The
switches are fixed in relation to the head section and within easy access of both
the occupant and attendant, regardless of the degree of inclination.
High Low Sleeping Surface (Hilow)
The bed is mechanized so that an attendant can raise or lower the sleeping
surface to facilitate examination or bed ingress or egress. The hilow up/down
switches are momentary contact type switches and are pictorially labeled to
indicate their function. The switches are fixed in relation to the head section
and face toward the attendant position only. The hilow up/down switches are
not accessible to the occupant.
Battery Back-up
The bed is designed with battery back-up as a standard feature. The battery
allows the hilow, foot, and head motors to be activated from the siderail
controls without power being supplied to the bed. In addition, the battery
powers the nurse call function, but it does not power any other bed functions.
Battery Back-up LED Indicators

• ON = Battery status is operational or when bed is plugged into the
appropriate power source.
• FLASHING = Battery needs charging.
• OFF = Battery is discharged below the level required to run the motors.
CAUTION:
Remove the battery if the bed will not be in service for extended periods
of time. Failure to do so could result in damage to the life of the battery
or damage to the bed. Contact the appropriate maintenance personnel.
If the battery has been completely discharged, it may take up to 36 hours to

recharge to operational status.
Introduction
To ensure the battery is always charged, plug the bed into the appropriate
1
power source whenever possible. If the battery is discharged or unplugged, the
bed is still functional when plugged into the appropriate AC receptacle.
Disp osal
Power comes from a lead acid battery, which needs to be

disposed of properly according to your local regulations.
For assistance in disposing of the battery, contact your Pb

maintenance technician.
Auxiliary Outlet (no longer available)
The two auxiliary outlets provide electrical power for accessories.
Automatic Tilt
As the head section is raised, the seat gradually tilts up from 0 to 15 degrees.
As the head section is lowered, the seat gradually returns to a flat position.
Headboard
The headboard is mounted to a metal frame. The headboard has built-in

handles, which aid in steering control and increase mobility. The headboard is
removable.
Docking/Wall Protection
Standard roller bumpers, located at the head end of the bed, protect walls and
headwall systems from damage.
CAUTION:
Do not position the head of the bed against a wall or beneath any
fixtures. This is to prevent damage due to the arcing motion of the bed
while the bed is being raised and lowered.
Lockout Control Switch
The lockout control switch is located at the head end of the bed on the frame
(see figure 1-1 on page 1-6). This control is used to deactivate the patient
(inboard) and caregiver (outboard) siderail controls.
Introduction
Figure 1-1. Lockout Switches
Night Light
The night light is located under the bed. A photocell control automatically
turns the light on when the room darkens and turns it off when it gets brighter.
Foot Support Assemblies
The bed is equipped with built-in foot support assemblies designed to remain
on the unit during normal usage. The assemblies can be simultaneously
positioned up or down, through use of the motor-powered, foot section yoke.
This foot section yoke controls the overall height up and down. Each foot
support can be independently positioned by using the mechanical release latch
at the end of the foot supports.
The following positional adjustments can be made:

• To position the patient’s legs, squeeze the release lever and rotate the foot
support. The foot support rotates upward and outward from 0° to 85°.
• To return to the storage position, squeeze the release latch again, and return
the supports to the desired position.
Introduction
Each foot support is attached to the bed and can only be removed by the
1
appropriate personnel.
Labor Grips
To raise the labor grip, grasp the grip, and rotate it up from under the bed until
it clicks. This signals that it has locked into position. Ensure that the labor grip
is properly locked by giving it a tug.
To lower the labor grip, pull the release handle, and lower the grip under the
bed.
Siderails
To raise the siderails (A), grasp the top center of the siderail, and pull out and
up from beneath the bed (see figure 1-2 on page 1-7). Rotate the siderail
upward until it clicks. The clicking sound signals that the siderail has locked
into position. Ensure that the siderail is up and properly locked into position by
giving it a gentle tug.
Figure 1-2. Siderails
Introduction
To lower/store the siderail, pull the release handle (B), and allow the siderail to
lower into the down or storage position.
The siderail stores in a position that does not extend outward from the width of
the bed. This feature aids in preventing transfer gaps when two beds are placed
side by side.
Trend-Like Position Operation
Trend-Like positioning to 8° is achieved mechanically from any bed height

position by depressing one of two Trend-Like position handles. Trend-Like
position handles are located near the head end of the bed under the head
section. Depressing either one of the handles releases gas-assisted springs
(cylinders) and allows for easy positioning.
To place the sleep surface in Trend-Like position, push down on the handle,
and guide the bed to the desired angle. If the desired Trend-Like position
cannot be achieved because the bed is too low, the bed’s hilow function will
automatically raise the bed until the proper position is reached.
To return the bed to the level position, pull up on the handle. Mechanical limits
stop the travel when the sleep surface is level. Quickly release it when the bed
is in the desired position.
Depending on the position of the head section and the weight of the patient, the
amount of activation force required to place the bed in or out of the Trend-Like
position varies. For example, with a patient occupying the bed and the head
section raised to 45 , the bed will more easily go out of Trend-Like position,
O
versus going into the Trend-Like position. With a patient occupying the bed
and the head section in the flat position, the bed will more easily go into the
Trend-Like position, versus going out of the Trend-Like position.
NOTE:
The bed must be in the flat (level) position and out of the Trend-Like position,
for the hilow to work properly.
CPR Release
The head section has a releasing mechanism for rapid emergency lowering.
The release mechanism requires intentional action to release it. The bed
mechanism recognizes the de-coupling and automatically lowers the head and
seat section; then it recouples the head and seat mechanism. This ensures
proper head section lifting after the emergency.
Introduction
A CPR release handle is located on either side of the bed, beneath the head
1
section. To operate, pull the CPR handle and hold. With a patient in the bed,
the head section will lower to a flat position within approximately 7 seconds.
The Integrated Air Support System
The integrated air support system allows the patient or attendant to select the
desired level of firmness in the lumbar and seat sections of the mattress. Both
the patient and attendant can control these functions from the siderail. The
lumbar bladder, when fully inflated, appears as a large round bump in the
mattress. The seat bladder, when fully inflated, does not have a specific
appearance. Proper operation of the seat bladder is best determined by lying on
the bed and activating the seat inflate function.
Seat Section Mattress
The seat section mattress has auto-inflate and auto-deflate functions. The
appropriate button need be pressed only once to achieve full inflation or
deflation of the mattress.
Seat Section Mattress Auto-Inflate or Deflate Control
To automatically inflate or deflate the seat section, press the caregiver seat
inflate button (plus sign) or caregiver seat deflate button (minus sign) once.
The seat section will inflate or deflate for approximately 20 to 25 seconds and
then automatically stop.
If a complete inflation or deflation cycle is not necessary, press the

caregiver seat inflate or caregiver seat deflate button a second time to stop the
inflation or deflation.
Back Section Lumbar Mattress
The back section lumbar mattress does not have auto-inflate or auto-deflate
functions. The appropriate button must be pressed and held until the desired
inflation is attained.
Back Section Lumbar Mattress Control
To inflate the back section, press and hold the back inflate button (plus sign)
until the desired firmness is attained.
To deflate the back section, press and hold the back deflate button (minus sign)
until the desired softness is attained.
Introduction
Mobility/Braking and Steer System
The bed is mounted on four precision-bearing swivel casters. Each caster has a
molded polyurethane wheel with a diameter of 6" (15 cm) or 8" (20 cm)
(Affinity® Three Birthing Bed only). Wheels have precision-bearing axles and
swivels for high mobility. They are easily removed for cleaning or replacing.
The caster braking system is activated by foot pedals located on either side of
the bed to enable one foot to lock two casters (wheels and swivels). Activation
of the steer system locks the swivel on one caster (steer lock on the foot end) to
enable easy steering of the bed, on the Affinity® Four Birthing Bed, all four
casters lock. The steer system is operated by foot pedals located on either side
of the bed. The foot pedals are located in convenient, accessible locations on
both sides of bed and are clearly identified. The brake pedal is designated by an
orange dot, and the steer pedal is designated by a green dot.
Brake and Steer Pedals
Placing the brake/steer pedal in steer locks the left side, foot end caster into a
position that is parallel to the bed. When transporting the bed, the caster should
trail the direction of travel (see figure 1-3 on page 1-10). This trailing position
is when the center of the caster’s wheel axle is behind the caster stem during
transport.
Figure 1-3. Steer Caster Position
Introduction
1
WARNING:
A bed that is transported with the steer caster locked in an incorrect
position can drift from side to side during transport. Personal injury or
equipment damage could occur.
If the caster is leading the direction of travel, reposition it. Do this by placing
the brake/steer pedal in neutral, swiveling the caster 180 degrees, and placing
the brake/steer pedal back in the steer position.
Siderails, Restraints, and Patient Monitoring
The bed is equipped with head section siderails as standard equipment. They
can be placed in the up or down position. In the down position, the rails store
under the frame of the bed providing a zero transfer gap for safe surface-to
surface transfer and better patient access. The bed is configured so that the
following functions may be included as part of the siderails:
• Patient and attendant head and foot actuators
• Hilow actuators (attendant only)
• Nurse call
• Entertainment center actuators (lighting, TV, UTV, and radio)
• Mattress controls
The siderails should always be in a full upright position and latched when a
patient is unattended. When raising the siderails, an audible click indicates that
the siderail is completely raised and locked in place.
We recognize that certain healthcare situations may indicate the need for
specialized siderail configurations. In response to this need we offer, upon
request, several siderail accessories.
Siderails are intended to be a reminder, not a patient restraining device.

Appropriate medical personnel should determine the level of restraint
necessary to ensure that a patient remains safely in bed. Consult the restraint
manufacturer’s instruction for use to verify the correct application of each
restraining device.
Introduction
Whenever medicated or confused patients are involved, Hill-Rom recommends

the following minimum actions:
• Develop guidelines for all such patients that indicate:
– Which patients should be restrained and the appropriate restraint to
utilize.
– The proper method to monitor a patient, whether restrained or not,
including time interval, visual check of restraint, etc.
• Develop training programs for all caregivers concerning the proper use and
application of restraints.
• Maintain the bed at its lowest position whenever a caregiver is not in the
room.
Dust Covers
All bed mechanisms are enclosed for protection from damage, aid in infection
control, and patient room housekeeping efficiencies.
SideCom® Communication System
Every bed with siderail controls is pre-wired to accommodate the SideCom®

Communication System. The SideCom® Communication System enables
integration of the backlit nurse call, entertainment (radio and TV), and lighting
in the siderails. The optional Universal TV is also available.
Nurse Call (Optional)
On beds equipped with the optional nurse call feature, use the nurse call button
to place a call to the nurse call system. Above the nurse call button, the call
indicator light illuminates on the patient’s siderail controls, indicating a call
has been made.
Siderail Communication Watchdog System
Beds equipped with the SideCom® Communication System include a feature

called the siderail communication watchdog system. It sends a nurse call if for
any reason the siderail controls do not communicate properly with the bed.

Siderail Controls
1
Patients and attendants operate the various functions of this bed by means of
finger-touch switches located in a convenient fixed position on the siderails at
both sides of the bed. These controls move with the head section for easy
access and visual contact regardless of the head section elevation. The control
switches are electronically interlocked to prevent electrical damage to the
motor caused by contradictory direction signaling.
Head
Head section operating controls, identified by graphic symbols, are visible and
accessible to both the patient and the attendant. The up/down travel of the head
section is controlled by separate momentary type switches.
Foot
Foot section operating controls, identified by graphic symbols, are visible and
accessible to both the patient and the attendant. The up/down travel of the foot
section is controlled by separate momentary type switches.
On the original version of the bed, the foot section travel pauses when it
reaches the flat or bed level position, indicating the bed is in the level position.
Travel then proceeds to the desired position if the foot section switch remains
actuated. The new version of the bed does not have this pause feature.
Hilow
The hilow controls, identified by graphic symbols, are visible and accessible
only to the nurse/attendant. The up/down travel of the sleep deck is controlled
by separate momentary type switches.
Lockout
This bed has the capability of locking out the inboard and outboard hilow,
head, and foot functions if so prescribed by the attending physician. The
lockout switch is located at the head end of the bed’s main frame. The lockout
function interrupts the patient/attendant siderail controls until the lockout
switch is turned off.
P.C. Boards
All P.C. board functions are tested at the completion of circuit board assembly
and at final bed assembly. A line transient filter is included to protect the
boards from excessive line surges.

Safety Tips
Train and educate your staff on the hazards associated with electric beds. Do
not allow personnel to have their entire body below the sleep surface and
within the confines of the bed. Unplug the bed from its power source and
engage the lockout control prior to cleaning or servicing it. If service personnel
need to get under the bed, they must block up the hilow portion as an added
precaution. Ensure that the foot section is properly mounted to the yoke.
We urge you to incorporate these safety tips into your procedures for the safety
of both patients and staff.
Bed Position
To reduce the severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the low
position when the patient is unattended.
Siderails
Leave the siderails fully up and locked when the patient is left unattended.
When raising the siderails, be sure that you hear the click that signals the up
and locked condition. Give the siderails a tug to check that they are firmly in
position.
Siderails are intended as a reminder, not a restraint device. Appropriate

medical personnel should determine the level of restraint necessary to ensure a
patient remains safely in bed.
Brake and Steer Pedals

Always keep the casters in the brake position when the bed is occupied.
Patients often use the bed for support when getting in or out of bed, and serious
injuries can result if the bed moves. After brakes are set, rock the bed gently to
ensure that they are locked.
Put the casters in the steer mode when moving the bed. This will make the bed
easier to position or transport.
Safety Tips
Fluids
When massive spills occur in the area of the P.C. boards, motors, or
transformers, immediately:
1. Unplug the bed from its power source.
2. Take care of the patient.
3. Clean the fluid from the bed.
4. Have maintenance check out the bed completely. Fluids can short out
controls, making the bed inoperable or cause the bed to operate erratically.
Component failure caused by fluids can even cause the bed to operate
without warning, causing injury.
5. Do not place the bed back into service until it is unquestionably dry and
tested safe to operate.
Water Mattress
The excessive weight associated with water mattresses puts an undue stress on
the motor drives. In most cases, the patient’s weight plus the water mattress
weight exceeds the recommended bed capacity. Even more important is the
fact that water mattresses are subject to rupture, which would allow large
amounts of water to come into contact with the electrical components of the
bed. We recommend not using water mattresses.
Lockout Switch
Whenever a patient or visitor should be restricted from operating the siderail
controls, activate the lockout switch located at the head end of the bed (on the
main frame). The lockout switch is for the convenience of the staff and the
safety of the patient. Use the lockout switch when appropriate.
CPR Release
Only healthcare professionals should use the emergency CPR release. The two
release handles are located under the head section of the bed near the seat
section.
To activate the CPR release, pull the handle away from the bed. Continue to
pull out on the handle until the head section is flat. When this is complete,
attend to the patient. The bed will automatically flatten the head and seat
sections and reset itself to be ready to use after the emergency.

Tools required: T25 Torx® head bit 5/32" Allen™ wrench
1 2
Ratchet 3/16" Allen™ wrench

Bed jack Turpentine
P3700A—The bed has two casters that have a braking feature. One of these
casters also has a steer feature. The brake/steer caster is located at the left-hand
foot end of the bed (as determined by lying in the bed on one's back). The
brake (only) caster is located at the right-hand head end of the bed. These two
casters may require adjustment after service, or because of normal wear. The
other two casters are basic swivel casters which require no adjustments.
P3700B—The foot-left caster is a brake/steer caster and the remaining casters

are brake casters.
Placing the brake/steer pedal in steer locks the left-hand foot end caster into a
position that is parallel to the bed (as described in chapter 1).

General Procedures
Cleaning
WARNING:
SHOCK HAZARD:
SHOCK HAZARD:
Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture which would allow liquid
to pool. Personal injury or equipment damage could occur.
CAUTION:
Do not use harsh cleansers or detergents such as scouring pads and
heavy-duty grease removers, or solvents such as toluene, xylene, and
acetone. Equipment damage could occur.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the metal platform is dry before placing the mattress back
onto the bed. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage.
If there is no visible soilage with possible body fluids, we recommend that you
clean the unit with a mild detergent and warm water. If disinfection is desired,
you may use a combination cleanser/disinfectant as explained in
“Disinfecting” on page 6-2. In either case, ensure that the metal platform is dry
6
before placing the mattress back onto the bed.
Service Manual (MAN272 REV 3
Cleaning
Steam Cleaning
Do not use any steam cleaning device on the unit. Excessive moisture can
damage mechanisms in this unit.
Cleaning Hard to Clean Spots

To remove difficult spots or stains, we recommend that you use standard
household cleansers and a soft bristle brush. To loosen heavy, dried-on soil,
you may first need to saturate the spot.
Disinfecting
WARNING:
Adhere to the Infection Control Policies and Procedures from Hill-Rom.
Failure to do so could result in the spread of infection.
When there is visible soilage and also between patient use, we recommend that
you disinfect the unit using an EPA registered (US only), tuberculocidal,
disinfectant.
Dilute the disinfectant as specified on the manufacturer's label.
Draping the Mattress
CAUTION:
Mattress damage caused by improper draping and/or cleaning
procedures is not covered by warranty.
Correct draping techniques are essential in helping to preserve the life of the
mattress. Drapes must be fluid repellent. The full-size, B7831, labor and
delivery drape effectively covers the lower three-quarters of the bedding
throughout labor. Additional pads or towels placed under the patient will keep
fluid from reaching the edges of the drape. This keeps the sheets clean and dry
while preventing fluid exposure to the mattress.
CAUTION:
Standard OB packs and paper drapes will not keep the sheets dry.
Repeated soaking and scrubbing of mattress materials will accelerate wear and
eventually destroy mattress seals, causing fluids to leak into the cushions.
Cleaning
Caring for the Wood Components

Wood is selected for use on beds because of its beauty and warmth. All
Hill-Rom wood products are treated with a resin-based sealer and finish that
provide resistance to abrasion, staining, and fluids. Many
disinfectant/cleansers have a softening effect on any painted or finished
surface if used in high concentrations. Diluted ammonia or detergent, may be
used.
The bed should be cleaned by wiping a soft dampened cloth over the surface,
followed by wiping with a dry cloth. At no time should a wet cloth be allowed
to lay on the surface. Any liquid spilled on the surface should be wiped up
immediately. Any liquid allowed to lie on the surface unattended may damage
the finish.
For protection of the finish, we recommend using a liquid furniture polish.

Polish about once a month, and wipe off any excess with a soft dry cloth. Have
any nicks or scrapes repaired to prevent water damage.
Servicing the Bed
Servicing the Bed
WARNING:
Powered bed mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate the bed
only with persons clear of mechanisms. Failure to do so could result in
WARNING:
Unplug the bed from its power source and engage the lockout control
during routine maintenance or cleaning. Refer to the Affinity® Three
Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed User Manual (USR025)
and specific sections in this service manual for additional precautions.
WARNING:
Ensure all electrical/mechanical loads are removed prior to
maintenance/repair of the bed’s drive system or other mechanical
assemblies. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
When you work with the bed in the high position, set the brakes and place
2 x 4’s between the base frame and lift arms. This will help prevent injury in
case someone accidentally actuates the bed down switch.
If service on the bed requires that it be placed on its side, be sure to store and
pad the siderails to prevent damage. Also, remove the brake/steer pedal to
prevent damage.
Component Handling
Component Handling
CAUTION:
equipment damage.
CAUTION:
When handling electronic components, wear an antistatic strap. Failure
to do so could result in component damage.
CAUTION:
protective bag. Equipment damage can occur.
P.C. Boards
When servicing P.C. boards, follow good handling practices. Mishandling a
P.C. board can cause the following:
• P.C. board damage
• Shortened P.C. board life
• Unit malfunctions
Observe the following P.C. board handling rules:

• Ensure that hands are clean and free of moisture, oily liquids, etc.
• Only handle a P.C. board by its outer edges.
• Do not touch the P.C. board components. Finger contact with the board
surface and/or with its components can leave a deposit that will result in
board (and component) deterioration.
• When working with electronics, wear an appropriate antistatic strap, and
ensure that it is properly grounded.
• Service the removed P.C. board at a static-free workstation that is properly
grounded.
6
• For shipping and storage, place the removed P.C. board in an antistatic
protective bag.
Lubrication Requirements
Lubrication Requirements
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone-based lubricants. Equipment damage could occur.
Hill-Rom uses maintenance-free DU bushings at major load and pivot points

throughout the bed. These bushings are designed to run dry without
lubrication. If the bushing squeaks during operation, apply anti-seize
compound to its bearing surface.
WARNING:
Visually inspect the bushings annually. If wear is apparent, replace
them. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
The following lubricants can be safely used on the DU bushings:

• P/N SA4269 anti-seize lube (aerosol can)
• P/N 37929 anti-seize lube (brush top lid)
Oilite® bearings and bushings are utilized in several places on the system. By
1
retaining oil, the pores give a self-lubricating quality to the bearings and
bushings. If any silicone-based lubricant is applied to the bearings and
bushings or anywhere else on the system, this self-lubricating quality is
neutralized.
It is safe to apply the following lubricants to the system (see table 6-1 on page
6-6):
Table 6-1. Lubricants
Part Number Description

8252 (100) 2 oz m-1 oil (apply to Oilite® bearings and bushings)
SA3351 (100) 4 ounce lithium grease

Preventive Maintenance
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized personnel should perform preventive
maintenance on the bed. Preventive maintenance performed by
unauthorized personnel could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
The Affinity® Three Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Beds require
an effective maintenance program. We recommend that you perform semi
annual preventive maintenance (PM) along with a quarterly battery check and
testing for Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
(JCAHO). PM and testing not only meet JCAHO requirements but will help
ensure a long, operative life for the bed. PM will minimize downtime due to
excessive wear.
The following PM schedule (see table 6-2 on page 6-10) guides you through a
normal PM procedure on the bed. During this PM process, check each item on
the schedule, and make the necessary adjustments.
Follow the PM schedule with the corresponding PM checklist (see table 6-3 on
page 6-13). This checklist is designed to keep a running maintenance history
and subsequent repair costs for one bed. However, your facility can modify
this checklist or design another to fit your needs. Two effective ways to reduce
downtime and ensure the patient remains comfortable are keeping close
records and maintaining the bed.
Inspecting the Pivot Point Fasteners
WARNING:
Inspect the pivot point fasteners semi-annually. Failure to do so could

Using Loctite® Adhesive

1
The proper use of Loctite® retaining compounds during service is essential to

enable certain fasteners to be correctly retained.
The Loctite® adhesive/sealant retaining compounds, are anaerobic, single-

component resins supplied as a liquid. These resins remain in a liquid state in
the presence of air, but harden into insoluble plastic film solids when confined
between clean, close-fitting metal surfaces. They can be used in conjunction
with natural rubber, glass, ceramics, and thermosetting plastic surfaces, such as
phenolic and polyester. Also, they do not usually harm nylon, polyethylene, or
saran. However, in their liquid state, they sometimes soften or craze vinyl,
cellulosic, styrene, methacrylate plastic, such as Plexiglas® , and varnished
2
finishes. Cured resins do not affect any of these materials. It is important to

note that an opened bottle of these products has a definite shelf-life of about 6
months, which affects its serviceability.
The resins referred to within this manual usually cure to their hardened state on
metal parts without need of primers. However, the use of a recommended
primer will help degrease the part and leave a light deposit of a catalyst to
speed curing. The temperature of the parts also affects their cure time. At 40° F
(4° C) it may take weeks to cure, but at 75° F (24° C), parts cure within the
time length indicated on the bottle.
WARNING:
Use primers with adequate ventilation. Avoid skin contact and
prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors. Do not allow primers to be
trapped under rings, watch bands, etc. Observe all directions on the
primer can. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
When using the product recommended during the service procedure:
1. Disassemble the parts, remove the old Loctite®, and clean the parts.
Reapply the new Loctite® during reassembly.
2. Apply to clean surfaces only. If necessary, degrease the parts.
3. Use liquid sparingly (usually one or two drops on threaded fasteners).

Be sure to apply where thread engagement begins. 6
2. Plexiglas® is a registered trademark of Rohm and Haas Company.
4. Assemble the parts and allow them to cure. Observe the time stated on
bottle label before placing back into service.
WARNING:
Avoid excessive or repeated skin contact with the liquid. Repeated
contact with the liquid could result in personal injury.
If difficulty is experienced in removal or disassembly of a part with Loctite®

#262 or #271 applied, heating the screw, bolt, nut, etc. aids in its removal.
Purple Loctite® Adhesive #222 (P/N SA4842)

1
Typical usage is as a low strength adhesive for screws. It is also suitable for
sealing threads, fittings, and cylindrical parts. It normally cures in 2 to 6 hours
at 75° F (24° C) and permits disassembly under condition of maximum thread
engagement.
Blue Loctite® Adhesive #242 (P/N SA3618)

Typical usage is as a medium strength adhesive for nuts, screws, keys, and
splines. It is not normally used on fasteners smaller than ¼" (6.4 mm) with
more than ½" (12.7 mm) engagement if removal is desired. It is also suitable
for hydraulic, pneumatic, and pipe fittings. It normally cures in 2 to 6 hours at
75° F (24° C) and permits disassembly under condition of maximum thread
engagement.
Red Loctite® Adhesive #262 (P/N SA4841)

Typical usage is as a medium to high strength adhesive for nuts, screws, etc.
Normally it is not used on fasteners smaller than ¼" (6.4 mm) with more than
½" (12.7 mm) engagement if removal is desired. It normally cures in 0.5 to 2
hours at 75° F (24° C) and permits disassembly under condition of maximum
thread engagement.
Red Loctite® Adhesive #271 (P/N SA4840)

Typical usage is as a high strength adhesive for studs and screws. It is not
normally used on fasteners smaller than 3/8" (9.5 mm) with more than ½"
(12.7 mm) engagement if removal is desired. It is also suitable for hydraulic,
pneumatic, and pipe fittings. It normally cures in 0.5 to 2 hours at 75° F (24°
C) and does not permit easy disassembly.
