Safety
 Always use a mattress of the correct size and type. A range of suitable pressure
reducing and pressure relieving mattress are available from ArjoHuntleigh.

end in order to avoid damage to cable.
o Ensure the bed is connected to mains power at all times.
o Brakes must be applied before lowering bed to minimum height.
o Bed must be raised before releasing brakes.
o Do not adjust bed height during patient transfer.

the legs are raised, the Kneebreak angle can be manually adjusted by raising or lowering the foot
end, which is supported by a self-locking ratchet strut.
To adjust, hold the mattress retention rail and lift the foot end slightly to disengage the latch then
raise or lower it, reversing the movement a little to re-engage the latch at the required position.

General
Examine the bed for obvious signs of damage. Make sure that all nuts, bolts, clamp screws and
other fastenings are tight and not missing.
Examine the flexible cables for cuts, abrasions, kinking or other deterioration. Ensure that the
power supply connector plug is securely attached and not damaged. If appropriate, check that the
plug fuse is of the correct type (BS 1362 5amp)
If either the plug or cable is damaged then both the plug and cable must be replaced as a complete
assembly by an approved service agent.
6. Cleaning
Warning
Before cleaning, disconnect the bed from the mains power supply.
Gloves and protective clothing should always be worn
when carrying out cleaning procedures.
All surfaces can be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth moistened with hot water and a mild
detergent. Avoid splashing the actuators and handsets.
Rinse with a cloth moistened with clean water and dry with paper towels.
To remove potentially infectious material such as body fluids, or when used by a client with a known
infection, clean afterwards with NaDCC (ie Presept, Actichlor) at 10,000 ppm of
available chlorine.
Rinse and dry.
Allow cleaned parts to dry thoroughly before replacing the mattress.
Any proprietary furniture polish may be used on the head and foot panels.
Caution
Do not use abrasive compounds or pads.
Do not use hypocarbonate or phenolic cleaning solutions
7. Maintenance / Troubleshooting
Warning
Disconnect the bed from mains power supply before starting any maintenance activity.
The following preventative maintenance procedures should be carried out at intervals of 12 months
or as specified.
All service and repair activities must only be performed by properly qualified and trained technicians
approved by ArjoHuntleigh.

11 AH-MIN V3 08/10/17
Castors and Brakes
If fluff or threads are picked up by the castors, these should be removed.
Make sure that castors swivel and rotate freely. Check the brakes for efficient operation. If castors
are unsatisfactory they should be replaced.
HANDSET Checks
Between each patient, ArjoHuntleigh strongly advises that the Handset is visually inspected for
obvious damage before each use if practicable and that Preventative Maintenance checks are
conducted on the handset. When using a specific function staff should be aware of, and checking
for, any of the symptoms listed in point 3 below.
Preventative Maintenance Checks
ArjoHuntleigh recommends that the full check and testing regime is conducted between each bed
use or worst case during annual Preventative maintenance. This should take no more than one (1)
minute to complete.
1. Visual inspection of handset casing
1.1 Inspect the outer plastic casing for any obvious cracks or damage.
1.2 Inspect for damage to the front cover (outer label) particularly over the buttons where the label
may be torn or indented.
If any damage is identified while conducting checks 1.1 and 1.2, immediately quarantine the bed
and report the damage to maintenance staff or replace the Handset.
2. Visual inspection of the cable and Cable insulation:
2.1 Inspect the cable for any nicks or cuts in the insulation
2.2 Inspect for any evidence that the cable may have been squashed or flattened.
Squashed or flattened cables may indicate a possible break in the internal conductors or insulation
causing conductors to short together which could cause unwanted movement of the bed. Any
handsets are found with obvious damage to the cable insulation, immediately report the damage to
maintenance staff or replace the Handset.
Front Cover Outer
Label
Look for tears or
indentations over the
buttons

12 AH-MIN V3 08/10/17
3. Tactile inspection of the buttons:
All buttons should be operated and response tested.
Depress each button on the handset. Each button should have a positive audible click that is
also felt. The function being pressed should also operate.
If the button:
 does not have a click feel
 does not have an audible click sound
 does not immediately operate the function
 feels soft offering no resistance
 feels different to the rest of the buttons
 travels further when depressed
Immediately quarantine the bed and report the damage to maintenance staff
or replace the Handset, otherwise contact an ArjoHuntleigh approved Technician.
The following table identifies some fault symptoms, their possible cause and
suggest some simple checks and corrective actions. If these actions fail to
