5. Safe use
The nursing table / shower trolley 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 nursing table / shower trolley 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 nursing table / shower trolley and the work area must be in good condition. The nursing table / shower
trolley 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.
Freestanding models: Make sure the nursing table / shower trolley 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 nursing table / shower
trolley the whole time it is moving.
Press only the push-button for the desired direction of movement.
Do not lower the nursing table / shower trolley unless the space below is free from persons and objects.
Only handle loads which are steadily and securely arranged.
Never allow the nursing table / shower trolley to come in contact with adjacent objects.
Modifications of the nursing table / shower trolley which impact on its operational reliability or safety are
not permitted.
Plates and markings must not be removed or obliterated.
Do not overload the nursing table / shower trolley.
The nursing table / shower trolley must undergo annual inspection in the interests of accident prevention.
Do not operate the nursing table / shower trolley in potentially explosive environments.
If the nursing table / shower trolley 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 nursing table / shower trolley 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. Load distribution and side forces
Note that the maximum load refers to a load which is spread and distributed evenly over the nursing table / shower
trolley surface.
Point loads are not permitted.
Essential requirements for load distribution:
The load must be spread over the entire nursing table / shower trolley surface.
Lateral forces are not permitted.
Lateral (sideways) forces can be caused e.g. by pressing against the nursing table / shower trolley 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 nursing table / shower trolley. 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.
