2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following instructions are a non-exhaustive list of recommendations for the safe use of
the bed.
•Never store anything under the bed.
•Ensure children cannot operate the control system and check no pets are under the bed before
operating any of the functions. Do not sit on the leg section of the bed when operating the raise function.
•Specific attention must be drawn to any potential dangers which can occur despite correct operation.
Before putting the care bed into service for the first time, the Instruction Manual must be read in detail
by the user / care personnel.
•When operating the adjusting functions, there must not be any objects or limbs in the area of movement
of the care bed or where there is risk of crushing.
•If the physical or mental state of the patient requires it, the handset should be locked on the reverse
side when not in use (nurses’ key), or keep the handset out of reach of such a patient to avoid the risk
of strangulation with the handset cord.
•Adjustments to the bed must only be carried out by suitably instructed persons or in the presence of an
instructed person.
•Unplug the mains plug from the socket before moving the care bed and take care to avoid dragging the
mains plug across the floor when moving the bed.
•The mains plug must always remain accessible to enable immediate cut-off by unplugging the mains
plug from the wall socket in case of emergency. The mains cable must be free and away from the bed
frame. Otherwise, the mains cable may be torn out and damaged. In addition, the mains plug may be
pulled out of its socket and electric leads exposed as a result. If the mains cable or the mains plug is
damaged, the relevant part must be replaced. This work should only be carried out by the manufacturer
or authorised professionals.
•When connecting the mains plug, do not use multiple sockets since liquids may penetrate into these
(fire hazard and electric shock).
•When the bed is stationary the castors must always be in the braked position. If the castors are not
braked, the bed can move when the occupant gets into and out of bed, since the occupant uses the
bed for support. Injury can result if the care bed rolls away.
•In order to move the care bed, the brakes on all four castors must be released and the mattress base
moved to the lowest horizontal position.
•The maximum duty cycle and the safe working load must not be exceeded otherwise safe operation
cannot be guaranteed
•The bed must not be used in rooms where there is a risk of explosion or hazardous materials and
chemicals are stored
•Make sure the mattress base is at its lowest position before leaving the patient unattended. This will
minimise the risk of injury to the patient when getting in or out of bed.
