An actuation assembly for a braking system of a hospital bed comprising: a torque input element; a torque output element longitudinally spaced from the input element; a transfer assembly comprising a connector assembly, the transfer assembly connecting the torque input element to the torque output element, the connector assembly comprising: a first connector having a proximate end and a connector portion, the proximate end being closer to one of the torque input element and the torque output element and the connector portion being further from that same element; a second connector having a proximate end and a connector portion, the proximate end being closer to the other of the torque input element and the torque output element and the connector portion being further from that same element; the connector portions (170, 194) being selectively joinable to each other to either permit or resist relative longitudinal translation of the first and second connectors, and a fastener connecting the connector portions (170, 194) of the connectors (166, 190) together in a first state of securement which permits relative longitudinal translation of the first and second connectors (166, 190) and a second state of securement which resists relative longitudinal translation of the first and second connectors (166, 190). a torque input element; a torque output element longitudinally spaced from the input element; a transfer assembly comprising a connector assembly, the transfer assembly connecting the torque input element to the torque output element, the connector assembly comprising: a first connector having a proximate end and a connector portion, the proximate end being closer to one of the torque input element and the torque output element and the connector portion being further from that same element; a second connector having a proximate end and a connector portion, the proximate end being closer to the other of the torque input element and the torque output element and the connector portion being further from that same element; the connector portions (170, 194) being selectively joinable to each other to either permit or resist relative longitudinal translation of the first and second connectors, and a fastener connecting the connector portions (170, 194) of the connectors (166, 190) together in a first state of securement which permits relative longitudinal translation of the first and second connectors (166, 190) and a second state of securement which resists relative longitudinal translation of the first and second connectors (166, 190). a first connector having a proximate end and a connector portion, the proximate end being closer to one of the torque input element and the torque output element and the connector portion being further from that same element; a second connector having a proximate end and a connector portion, the proximate end being closer to the other of the torque input element and the torque output element and the connector portion being further from that same element; the connector portions (170, 194) being selectively joinable to each other to either permit or resist relative longitudinal translation of the first and second connectors, and a fastener connecting the connector portions (170, 194) of the connectors (166, 190) together in a first state of securement which permits relative longitudinal translation of the first and second connectors (166, 190) and a second state of securement which resists relative longitudinal translation of the first and second connectors (166, 190).
