10. Bed Controls and Indicators------------ The handset is used by the user or caregiver
to change the position of the of the backrest
and legrest sections and to adjust the height
of the mattress platform of the bed. Always
check for obstructions before the bed is
raised or lowered. Before using the control,
the operating staff should explain to the
patient how the bed can be positioned. If the
medical staff state that the patient’s medical
condition is inappropriate for the patient to be
able to adjust the bed independently, the
bed’s position must only be adjusted by the
caregiver.
The handset has the following controls and
indicators:
Figure 10.1
WARNING
Bed positioning MUST be carried out by
suitably trained and qualified personnel.
Patients should only be allowed to
operate the bed independently if they are
able to understand the safety instructions
in this manual and have been risk
assessed as appropriate to do so.
Make sure the castor brakes are in the
locked position before using the handset
to change the positions of the bed.
Always engage the brakes when the bed
is stationery or left unattended.
Check for obstructions around, above and
below the bed frame and position the bed
so that it can operate through the full
height range without any possibility of
obstruction or entrapment.
Use of the legrest function must be risk
assessed as it may cause unintentional
displacement when used with patients of
smaller stature.
Sharing the bed with a patient (particularly
a child) carries the risk of lying on the
patient and causing suffocation or the
patient being wedged against the side of
the bed.
Use of wedges, supporting and
positioning devices may cause
entrapment and a risk of suffocation.
Smaller patients may need additional
support to achieve a semi-Fowler’s
position.
Always store the handset in a safe place
when not in use to avoid risk of
strangulation and entrapment in the bed
mechanism, for example on the outside of
the headboard or footboard.
Handset and cable must be kept out of
reach of children.

11. Floor-level Function -----------------------
The floor-level function will lower the
mattress platform to floor level. The mattress
platform height will be 10cm.
To lower the bed to the floor-level position:
1. Check underneath the bed to make sure
there are no obstructions or entrapment
risks.
2. When lowering the bed, make sure the
user or patient keeps hands and legs
away from the edge of the mattress.
3. Press button 6 to lower the bed until it
reaches the safety stop position (approx.
20cm).
4. Press buttons 6 and 8 together. The bed
will now move down to the floor-level
position. The bed will move slower
between the safety stop position and the
floor-level position.
NOTE: If either of the buttons are
released, the bed will stop moving
immediately.
5. When the bed has reached the floor-level
position, store the handset in a safe
place.
6. To raise the bed from the floor-level
position, press button 5.
WARNING
Extreme care must be taken when using
the floor-level function.
Always check for any entrapment risk and
obstructions under the bed before and
during use of the floor-level function.
Keep children and pets away from the bed
unless supervised by an adult.
Patients, users and operators must be risk
assessed and made aware of the risks to
themselves and those around before
using the floor-level function of this bed.
Beware of trip hazard when the bed is in
the floor-level position.

12. Length Adjustment------------------------
The Empresa can be extended by 9cm at the
head end and 9cm at the foot end. Refer to
section 15 for the appropriate length setting
for the mattress being used.
To extend the bed:
1. Undo the bolts shown in Figure 12.1 on
each side of the bed and retain the bolts
and washers.
Figure 12.1
2. Slide the head/foot board outwards as
Figure 12.2 until the holes in the
headboard bracket marked ‘Extended’ in
Figure 12.3 line up with the mounting
holes on the bed frame.
Figure 12.2
Figure 12.3
3. Secure the head/foot board with the bolts
and washers in the extended position as
shown in Figure 12.4.
Figure 12.4
4. If required, repeat steps 1 to 3 for the
other end of the bed.
Note: if side panels are fitted, you will need
to purchase longer side panels before the
