5. Safe use
The changing table is designed to avoid the risk of injury and accident. However, it is still most important that the
user is thoroughly familiar with the correct manner of installing and operating the table.
The changing table must only be used under the conditions described in "Intended use".
The table must be operated in a manner to avoid the risk of personal injury and material damage.
The table must only be operated by persons who have read and understand these instructions and who are
qualified to use it.
Remember that it is your responsibility as user to ensure that nobody suffers injury.
The changing table and the work area must be in good condition. The changing table must not be used in
case of any damage or fault which affects its operational reliability or safety or if it has been repaired,
modified or adjusted without the permission and approval of an authorised person.
Freestading models: Make sure the changing table is steady and horizontal.
Wall-mounted models: Make sure the wall installation is intact.
The push-button unit must be located so that the operator has a clear view of the changing table the whole
time it is moving.
Press only the push-button for the desired direction of movement.
Do not lower the changing table unless the space below is free from persons and objects.
Only handle loads which are steadily and securely arranged.
Never allow the changing table to come in contact with adjacent objects.
Modifications of the changing table which impact on its operational reliability or safety are not permitted.
Plates and markings must not be removed or obliterated.
Do not overload the changing table.
The changing table must undergo annual inspection in the interests of accident prevention.
Do not operate the changing table in potentially explosive environments.
If the changing table is used in a public environment, particularly one where children may enter the
operating area, the operator shall take adequate steps to prevent persons entering the hazardous area, e.g.
by cordoning off said area.
The changing table surface must be clear during inspection, servicing and repair.
Installation, service and repairs may only be carried out by persons possessing the necessary skills.
Only original parts may be used as replacements, otherwise our warranty commitments may be null and
void.
6. Safety arrangements
Model 334 has a built-in comprehensive safety switch beneath the entire nursing table.
7. Load distribution and side forces
Note that the maximum load refers to a load which is spread and distributed evenly over the changing table surface.
Point loads are not permitted.
Essential requirements for load distribution:
The load must be spread over the entire changing table surface.
Lateral forces are not permitted.
Lateral (sideways) forces can be caused e.g. by pressing against the changing table or the load.
It is very difficult to gauge the strength of laterally acting forces, therefore the greatest care must be exercised at all
times.
Safety measures may be required on or around the changing table. Discuss the appropriate measures with your
supplier or with a safety delegate, occupational health inspector or similar person.
We recommend drawing up a Risk Analysis for the work situation in accordance with the Machinery Directive.
If accessory equipment is installed by the user, Granberg must be contacted for approval of the load conditions.
