Assembly and Operation
03
• Remove the banding from the box and open both ends of the box.
• Ensure the brakes on the castors are unlocked allowing the bed to be easily wheeled out of
the box.
• Ensure the box containing the actuator seat is present.
• Move the contents of the box and side rails to the area in
which the bed is to be used.
• Remove the polythene packaging and carefully cut the tie
wraps holding the head and foot frames together.
• Using a 4mm Allen Key, fully undo the grub screws marked
‘A’ on each sides of the frames - keep these for later use.
• Carefully lift the frame up to clear the transportation bracket
and manoeuvre it through the bed end and place to the side.
• Repeat this for both frames.
Note: Care should be taken when removing the beds frames from the transport bracket
as they weigh up to 19kg. Also, keep ngers / arms away from the scissor mechanisms to
avoid any possible entrapment / crushing whilst lifting the frames.
• Remove the protective cardboard packing from the bed-ends.
• Apply the castor brakes to one of the bed-ends.
• Using a 6mm allen key, fully undo the allen bolt ‘B’ from the un-braked bed-end. The bed-end
should come away from the transportation bracket. Carefully lay the bed-end on the oor with
the frame brackets pointing upwards.
• Remove the transportation bracket from the other bed-end and lay on the oor as with the rst
bed-end.
Open the sealed box which was packed underneath the bed. This should contain:
• 8 x Handknobs
• 2 x Main bed brackets
• 1 x Short actuator and tting bolts (foot end)
• 1 x Long actuator and tting bolts (head end)
• 1 x Control box
• 1 x Hand remote
• 1 x Transformer
• 4 x Side rail slides
• 1 x Hand grip and strap for grab bar

Assembly and Operation
04
• With the bed end on the oor, take either the head or foot frame and offer the two locating
brackets on the bed-end into the frame as shown in the following sequence of images.
• Secure the bed frame to the bed end with the handknobs. Ensure the thread of the handknobs
locates in the notch on the locating bracket on the bed-end frame. Fully tighten the handknobs.
• There should be no slack or play in these connections. Repeat this process for the other
bed-end and frame.
• Take the 2 main bed connecting brackets shown below and insert them into the holes at the
end of one of the bed frames.
• Use 2 of the grub screws (marked ‘A’) to secure them in place. Ensure the thread of the grub
screw locates in the cut-out of the connecting brackets.
• Fully tighten the grub screw with the 4mm allen key.
• With the frames still upright, t the motors using the M10 socket head bolts (you will need an
8mm allen key and adjustable wrench).
• The short motor should be tted to the foot end frame.
• When tting the motors, ensure the shaft end faces towards the wooden bed end and the cable
is directed out towards you (when in normal operation facing towards the oor).
NOTE: Do not fully tighten the nuts when tting the motors. Allow 2-3 full threads to show
through the nyloc nut. If there is nut if fully tightened there will be no free rotation of the
pivot which could result in frame damage.

05
• Locate the control box on the side of the foot end motor. Plug the foot end motor (green plug)
into the ‘FOOT’ socket.
NOTE: It is very important to locate the plug correctly to avoid damage. Notice the location
of the lug on the plug and the socket to ensure correct alignment.
• Plug the yellow banded bed-end motor into one of the sockets marked ‘Hi-Low’.
• Next, lift the bed-ends upright and align them. Lock the castors on one of the bed ends. Then
carefully lift the two parts of the frame together so the connecting brackets locate in the end of
the receiving frame.
• Push the frames together fully, ensuring no gaps are present. Insert handknobs into the holes
and fully tighten, ensuring the threads of the handknob locate in the cut-outs of the connecting
bracket.
• The connect the remaining motors and handset to the control box.
• Note the direction of the connectors. The hand control connection is on the side of the control
box, the four motor connections are colour coded and labelled.
Assembly and Operation

06
• Connect the power supply to the mains and check the operation of the motors. If there is no
function, check all connections are secure and the LED light is lit on the handset.
• Ensure the security key is plugged into the socket on the side of the handset. Using the
handset raise the bed to its full height and switch off the power to avoid any accidental
movement during the next procedure.
• Take one of the seat rail sliders and locate it in the rail at the side of the bed-end while
depressing the bottom side rail adjustment button.
• Fully insert the slider (pointed end up) until it locates in its lowest position. Fit both side rails to
the slider with the rounded edge to the top. The other ends of the rails should rest on the oor.
• Take another slider and t it to the other end of the bed rails. Depress the adjustment button
and locate the slider in the rail on the bed-end.
• Repeat the process for the other side rail.

Centre Frame Fixing:
Where the two halves of the beds meet in the middle, hand-knobs should be used to connect the
centre parts of the bed frames. The hand-knobs must be tted through the foot-end rst then into
the threaded head-end. Fully tighten the hand-knobs before commissioning the bed.
Operation:
Firstly, plug in the security key into the socket at the lower left side of the hand control.
This feature is to prevent any unauthorised use.
Controller Functions:
IMPORTANT: Only one operation at a time is possible. The bed should not be used for more
than 2 minutes continuously in an 18 minute period. A thermal protection circuit may be
activated and the bed will not work. To reset the thermal cut out, switch off mains power
and leave for 30 minutes.

Safety Advice
08
Your Juvo bed has an emergency backup function which allows the bed to be lowered in the event
of mains power failure. Three 9V batteries should be tted inside the transformer.
Simply open the cover on the underside of the transformer and t the batteries.
Note: These batteries will only provide one emergency lowering operation.
Safety Advice:
• The bed should not be used by persons younger than 12 years old, greater than 175kg (27.5
stone) or taller than 195cm (6’ 5”).
• Ensure all cables are free from any pinching hazards on the bed. If any cables appear
damaged, discontinue use and replace immediately.
• Route the mains power cable so it cannot be run over, crushed or stretched by other equipment
around the bed. Always remove the mains plug from the wall when moving the bed.
• Ensure that all the castor brakes are applied when the bed is occupied. Do not use any
electrical medical appliances on patients in the bed.
• Do not use the bed in the vicinity of major medical equipment (x-rays etc.)
• When operating the bed, be aware of the patient’s and the bed’s surroundings as a crushing/
entrapment hazard could be possible.
• If the patient is underweight, ensure that they cannot slip down between the mattress and the
bedrails. Use bed rail protectors/padding if necessary.
• Ensure that the bedrails are locked in the required position and are parallel to the oor.
• Do not reach for objects through the bedrails. Do not operate the bed if ANY object is projecting
through the bedrails.
• Before adjusting the height of the bed, ensure there are no obstacles to prevent full adjustment
in both directions.
• Check all components for tightness and ensure all motors are operating correctly before use.
• Always leave the bed in its lowest position when not being used to avoid the risk of accidentally
trapping anything underneath.
• DO NOT move an occupied bed when the mattress frame is elevated.
• DO NOT stand or sit on the side rails as they may break resulting in injury. They are designed
to prevent the occupant from falling from the bed.

Care and Maintenance
09
Moving an occupied bed:
• It is recommended that the bed should be unoccupied before repositioning, but should the bed
need to be moved whilst occupied the mattress support base should be in its lowest position.
The plug must be removed from the mains supply and all cables / leads should be positioned
so that they will not interfere with the castors or persons moving the bed.
• Always ensure the handknobs and grub screws which hold the frames together are present
and fully tightened.
• Care should be taken when moving the bed over room thresholds. Ensure the bed end castors
are parallel to the threshold and a person is situated at the front of the bed to guide it over the
threshold.
• If there appears to be any frame movement / distortion when initially moving the bed, cease the
operation immediately and transfer the user from the bed and check the handknobs and grub
screws for tightness before continuing.
Care and Maintenance:
• Always remove the mains plug from the wall if cleaning the bed. Avoid getting any of the motor
assemblies wet to prevent causing any damage.
To avoid any damage when cleaning the bed:
• Do not use any sharp-edged tools (knives or scrapers).
• Do not use aggressive solvents.
• Do not use high-pressure cleaners.
• Use a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent, wipe away any excess cleaning solution which
may pool on the wood surfaces.
• Domestic cleaners should only be used without including any scouring agents.
• Do not use alkaline or benzene based cleaning agents on the wood surfaces. If extra cleaning
is required using disinfectants, the manufacturers instructions should be adhered to.
The bed should be regularly checked to ensure that all fastenings are secure and that the chassis
of the bed is sturdy and sure-footed. Check cables for wear or damage and replace where
necessary. We recommend that servicing be undertaken on a 24 monthly period to ensure reliable
operation of the bed. Beds that are heavily used should be serviced on a more regular basis.
Note: Suitably qualied, trained personnel only should carry out the servicing and
maintenance.
