and remove Linak electronics system from mattress platform.
Note: It is strongly recommended that protective clothing be used when cleaning.
Note: The following procedure also applies to the bed accessories, but does not
include mattresses.
• Wipe the bed surfaces with a soft cloth moistened with hot water and mild
detergent (or the facility’s recommended cleaning solution). It is recommended
that the cloth be a white material to prevent bleeding of dye colours to the bed.
Take extra care in areas that can harbour dirt or dust.
• Rinse with clean water and a dry clean cloth.
• To remove potentially infectious materials such as body fluids, or when the bed
has been used by someone with a known infection, clean with NaDCC (e.g.
Presept, Actichlor) at 10,000 ppm of available chlorine. Rinse and dry.
• Allow the cleaned parts to dry before replacing the mattress.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive Hypocarbonate or Phenolic compounds or pads.

10. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
To prolong the working life of the bed and for trouble free operation it is
recommended that routine inspections should be performed by a person who
is suitably qualified and well acquainted with the design, use and care of MAXI
Lifestyle Community Beds.
If inspection reveals that the safety of the bed is compromised in any way, it should
be IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWN FROM SERVICE, tagged as such and the owner
notified, until repair or replacement has occurred.
Inspection:
A visual and functional inspection should be performed monthly and every time the
bed changes user.
• Visually inspect electrical components: can you see damage to the hand control
or power cord?
• Visually inspect mechanical components: can you see damage, chips or
deformation to the frame, bed ends, side rails or self help pole?
• Is the hand control functioning as it should?
• Are the castors, brakes and accessories functioning as they should?
1. Overall functional check that all
hand control functions are operating
the bed as expected.
2. Overall inspection for visible signs of
wear, tear or damage to the integrity
of electronics and cables.
3. Actuators and all moving
components should not make
unusual noises.
4. Side rail attachment and function
should be assessed along with the
locking integrity of castors.
5. Electrical test & tag – where
beds are in use in a commercial
environment then the testing regime
applied should align with the risk
assessment made by the owner
for safety and other compliance
requirements.
Preventative Maintenance:
NOTE: Other than general maintenance activities all other service or repair
work must be performed by qualified and trained persons or agents approved
by Aidacare.
The following preventative maintenance procedures should be carried out every
12 months or as otherwise specified:
General
1Examine all the warning signs on the bed. Examine the bed for obvious signs of
damage. Check that all nuts, bolts and other fasteners are tight and are not missing.
2Examine flexible cables and conduits for cuts, cracks, abrasions or other
deterioration.
3
Check that the power supply plug is not damaged. If either the power cable or plug is
damaged then both the cable and plug must be replaced as a complete assembly by
an approved service agent.

the brake is not fully eective.
2Check the castors for correct operation.
3If any are not working correctly contact an approved service agent.
Side Rails (if fitted)
1
