• The installation must be carried out by a minimum of one person.
Packaging units:
Carton:
Complete bed frame consisting of the mattress platform and head and foot end panels. Main control unit, hand control,
back & foot rest actuators and 2 height adjusting actuators.
3.1 ASSEMBLY
Mounting instructions:
• The assembly of the bed must be carried out by a minimum of one person;
Unpack the bed frame from carton 1 and make sure that the 2 wheels on the foot-
board are in the locked position and the 2 wheels on the headboard are unlocked.
Unhook the transport securing arm to let the bed begin to unfold. To do so you will need to manually push the 2 halves
of the folded bed together a little so that the hook can move free from the pin
The buttons on the handset that control the angle of the back rest also control the folding and unfolding of the bed.
By pressing the button to lower the back rest it will unfold the bed automatically until it is in the flat position.
Once the bed frame is in the flat position and the backrest actuator has ceased moving, the bed is ready to be used.

Never attempt to unfold the bed a u t o m a t i c a l l y b e f o r e unhooking the transport securing
arm.
11
The main control box comes already attached to the
knee break actuator with all the cables for the
actuators and the handset connected.
The knee break actuator should be mounted under
the bed frame so that the motor end (the end where
the cables connects to the actuator) is towards the
centre of the bed and the extending ram of the
actuator is connected to the moving knee break
section of the mattress platform.
In order to insert the securing pin into the end of the
extending ram you need to manually lift the knee
break and pull out the ram so that it is away from the
control box it is attached to, allowing you to insert the
locking pin. Please see image to the left.
The backrest actuator should then be mounted under the bed frame again so that the
motor end is towards the centre of the bed and the extending ram is connected to the
moving back rest section of the mattress platform.
Ensure all mounting pins are fully inserted through the bed frame mounting points on both
sides of the actuator and the spring loaded locking loops are in the closed position.
All the cables should be already attached to the control box and numbered 1 –4 with a
tag on the opposite end where they connect into each actuator. The number inside the
control box (re circles above) should correspond with the same number on the other end
of each cable.
Number 1 cable should be connected into the backrest actuator.
Number 2 cable should be connected into Hi-Lo actuator at the foot end of the bed.
Number 3 cable should be connected into the backrest actuator.
Number 4 cable should be connected into the Hi-Lo actuator at the head end of the bed.
Pay attention to position the back and foot rest actuators correctly!They should
never be inverted.

In such a rare case,increase the distance of the bed from the interfering device,do not
use the same socket or temporarily disconnect such device.
4.2 Hand control
The electric functions of the bed are activated by the patient and by the user with ahand
control.
•The electric motors work if the corresponding buttons are pressed.
•It is possible to adjust different sections in both directions.
•The hand control can be attached to the bed where needed with a hook.
•The spiral cable allows freedom of movement.
•Individual functions of the bed can be locked using the hand control.
4.2.1 Hand control use
Backrest adjustment
When the bed is in use these buttonsare used to change the angle of
the backrest.
Leg support adjustment
When the bed is in use these buttonsare used to change the angle of
the leg support (knee break).
Backrest and leg support combined adjustment (Auto-Contour)
When the bed is in use these buttons are used to change the angle of
the backrest and the angle of the leg support simultaneously.
Height adjustment of the mattress base
When the bed is in use these buttons are used to change the height of
the mattress base. When the height is adjusted there is an automatic
horizontal positioning of the mattress base in the highest/lowest position.
Angle adjustment of feet –head section (Trendelenburg Tilt)
When the bed is in use these buttons can be used to lower the foot or
head section independently. When the height is adjusted there is an
automatic horizontal adjustment of the mattress base if lowered at the
feet in the highest position and/or in the lowest one.
Before lowering either section, you need to release the brake of the two wheels on the head
or foot panel end,to avoid possible damagesto the floor.
Trendelenburg Tilt -is when the foot end is raised higher than the head end. This is
apotentially dangerous position for some patients. Trendelenburg Tilt should only
be used if appropriate medical advice has been obtained or if you are sure this
position is safe for the patient.
Nurse Lock-Out –Each pair of buttons on the handset can be individually locked out to
prevent unwanted operation. Using the blue key provided with the handset you can turn
the central lock to either UNLOCKED (12 o’clock position) or LOCKED (1 o’clock position).

3. ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
Located at the head of the bed, on the backrest
platform is the red hook illustrated in the images
to the left.
In order to raise the backrest you must unhook
the clip from the pin and push it down as shown.
This will then enable the backrest actuator to operate the mattress platform rather than folding the bed back up. The leg
rest actuator and the two height adjusting actuators on the head and foot boards are already connected to the central
control box. These can now be operated using the hand control.
To fold the bed back up ensure that the mattress platform is flat (backrest and leg rest lowered fully) and in its lowest
position. Then swing the clip back into the locked position.
This will disengage the backrest actuator for operating the mattress platform and engage the folding mechanism.
Making sure that the wheels on the footboard are both locked and the wheels on the headboard are both unlocked, press
the button on the handset to raise the backrest and the bed will begin to fold up.
Before folding the bed back up make sure that the mattress platform, including the leg rest, is completely
flat and that the bed is in the lowest position.
Never attempt to use any other functions on the bed when in the folded position. Only the backrest but-
tons to either fold or unfold the bed. Only use the other functions when the bed is completely unfolded
and flat.

4.1 Special safety warnings
•When making the adjustments make sure that no parts of the body of any
patients, users and other people, especially children, are positioned under any
adjustable elements or under the bed frame to avoid being caught and injured.
•Once you have made the necessary adjustments and positioned the bed rails correctly,
make sure to disable the backrest and leg adjustmentsfunctions with the hand control
lock, to protect the patient from unwanted movements (risk of crushing of his/her limbs).
•In case of use of accessories on the electric bed, make sure such accessories do not
crush or cut the patient with sharp edges during the legs and backrest adjustments. If
this condition is not guaranteed, the user must not proceed with the backrest and legs
adjustments.
•Make sure the power cable and the hand control cable do not get caught anywhere or
get damaged.
•Before each operation with the bed, make sure the power cable is not
stretched, crushed or damaged in any way.
•When making the adjustments, make sure there are no obstructions such as
furniture or aceiling inclination, to avoid possible damages.
