swivel wheels, all with a parking brake.
• Mattress base
The mattress base is divided into a backrest with a fixed central element, a leg support and a knee raiser with ratchet.
These elements are adjustable. The foot or head parts of the mattress base can be adjusted in height horizontally or obli-
quely compared to the floor. All the adjustments are performed by electric motors by using a hand control.
• Bed Rails
To protect patients from possible accidental falls from the bed, the bed can be equipped with rails (meet clause

• 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.
3. ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
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.

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.

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.

Fitting the side rails
1. Unscrew the small thumb turn screw at the bottom of each runner.
2. Slide the top of each end of the side rails into the channels on both ends of the bed until the bottom is above the thumb
turn and tighten to prevent the side rails from falling out of the bottom of the channel.
Lowering and Raising
3. To raise the rails, simply lift the rails in the runners on both sides of the bed past the black locking pin until it clicks.
4. To lower the rails, pull out the black locking pin to release the side rails and lower them down on both ends of the bed.
You may need to lift slightly before pulling out the pin.
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.
Special safety rules for the bed rails.
The bed rails are there to protect patients from possible accidental falls from the bed. However, they
cannot prevent the patient from voluntarily leaving the bed. To make the best use of their intended
protection function, please observe the following precautions:
Use only undamaged bed rails and in good conditions positioned at the right distance to allow the rails to snap into
place properly.
• Make sure to use only the Apollo original bed rails supplied with the bed.
• When using a bed with bed rails you must always verify if they are suitable for each individual patient. In particular,
it is necessary to pay attention to the distance between the bars in relation to the patients’ body build. If they are
very skinny and thin it could be necessary to use some padding or pads around the bed rails (optional). Only in this
way will it be safe to use the bed without the risk of the patient to be caught or to slide out of the bed rails.
• The mechanical elements which attach the bed and the rails should be checked regularly to make sure there are no
signs of damage. This must be done not only before applying the bed rails, but also during use within short intervals
(at least before any new use).
• When applying the bed rails to the electric bed always make sure to block the backrest and leg supports with
the hand control to protect the patient from any accidental electric movements (risk of involuntarily crushing the
patient’s limbs).
Failure to comply with the above safety rules will lead to the possible risks of the patient getting caught in the bed rails,
falling out of the bed if the bed rails are too wide due to possible damages, in case they are not the correct bed rails for
the electric bed or if they have not been mounted and inserted correctly.

5. CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Clearing is fundamental as well as a proper chemical disinfection. In general, regular cleaning of the bed when used by
a single patient is sufficient in terms of hygiene. It is necessary to disinfect the bed frame only in case of a visible conta-
mination with contagious or potentially contagious materials (ex. blood, urine, pus etc.) or in case of a contagious disease
upon request by the physician.
5.2 CLEANING AND DISINFECTION PROGRAM
• Remove the sheets from the bed to be washed.
• Clean all surfaces including the mattress platform, the plastic inserts and cables with a mild non aggressive detergent,
including the hand control.
• The bed should be disinfected by scrubbing using a disinfectant recommended for hospital use especially in case of
visible contamination with contagious or potentially infectious material. The same as applicable to beds in intensive care
or infectious diseases units.
• It is necessary to disinfect the wheels only in case of visible contamination with infectious or potentially infectious
material.
Note: A continuous disinfection is necessary only in case of patients with multi-resistant pathogens within a hospital
5.3 TRAINING OF USERS AND SPECIALIZED PERSONNEL
To ensure a proper cleaning and disinfecting procedure, we recommend you to appropriately train all users and specia-
lized personnel involved. The following points must be respected:
• Make sure the bed does not get soiled or contaminated during transport to the patient’s house.
• In case of disassembly of the bed, it is necessary to immediately clean and disinfect it by scrubbing. The personnel must
be informed about the correct cleaning and disinfecting procedure and carry out his/her necessary treatment properly
(according to the steps of the procedure notified by the owner). The disinfectant used must be suitable for the treated
surface.
• For this operation the specialized personnel shall be provided with waterproof disposable gloves and aprons.
• For the treatment only clean cloths should be used which must then be taken to be washed.
• After the treatment the personnel should disinfect their hands before leaving the place to go somewhere else. The
qualified personnel must be equipped with a disinfectant with dispenser.
Cleaning of the bed directly on site has the advantage that the bed and/or none of its parts can get «soiled» when then
transported in the same vehicle with other clean beds. Itprevents potentially infectious germs located in the bed frame
from spreading around.
These recommendations will help to prevent nosocomial infections. If the beds are not immediately reused, they should
be stored away with a cover to protect from dust and accidental contamination.
Every time the bed is used by a new patient, it is mandatory to first clean and then disinfect the bed by scrubbing
thoroughly!
Before you start clearing:
•Remove the plug from the socket and make sure it does not come into contact with water or disinfectant.
•Make sure all plugs are properly connected.
•None of the electric components must be externally damaged to avoid the penetration of water or disin-
fectant liquids which might lead to malfunctioning or damages to the electric components.
12
Make sure not to damage any cables. Verify that the cables are not tangled
and that theyare not able to get caught in any in moving parts during use.
In case of replacement of any individual components, always make sure that
the electric plugsare then properly inserted into the controller.Only in this way
will the bed function properly.
3.1.1 Use of accessories
Apollo Healthcare Technologies can supply various accessories for use with this bed
including a lifting pole, bed lever and dynamic mattress systems. For correct installation of
accessories please refer to section 4of this manual.
Use of non-Apollo Healthcare Technologies accessories is not advised.Installing
third party accessories could restrict the moving parts of the bed.The warranty
does not cover any damages caused by use of third party accessories and your
warranty could be void if third party accessories are installed and used.
3.2 Operations
Every time before using the bed, the user must make sure that:
•the wheels of the bed are locked (see also chapter 4.3).
•the power supply is compatible with the bed (230 Volt, 50 Hertz).
•the power cable is plugged in and placed in such a way that it cannot be damaged.
•the power cable,the motor cables and the hand control cable are not damaged by
any moving parts of the nursing bed.
•there are no obstacles in the way such as bedside furniture or chairs.
•all accessories used are installed correctly and do not restrict the free movement of any
part of the bed especially the backrest and knee break mattress platform.
•all control functions have been accurately inspected (see also chapter 6.1) and are
working properly.
•only after carrying out the above operations should the bed be regarded as safe to use.
3.2.1 Requirements of the installation site
•Make sure there is enough space to safely allow the whole range of adjustments of the
bed. There should not be any furniture or other objects close to the bed such as window
cills.
•If the bed is to be used on parquet floor, make sure that the use of wheels will not cause
any discolouring due to the parquet waterproof treatment. It is possible to use the bed
on tiles, carpets, laminatedfloorsand linoleum.
•A 230 volt power outlet,correctly installed, must be located as near as possible to the
bed.
•If there is the need to use other accessories (such as compressor systems,bed levers
etc…), make sure they are correctly fixed and that they work properly. In particular, make
sure all different cables are safely connected and no moving part of the bed is restricted
from moving freely as it should.In case of questions or doubts please contact the
manufacturer of such accessories.
Before using the bed again, by drying or blowing in the power plug, make sure there is no residual moisture left in
the electrical contacts.
• The electric components must not be subjected to a water jet, a high pressure cleaner or anything similar! Cleaning
should be done with a damp cloth!
• If you suspect that water or moisture have entered into the electric components, immediately remove the power
plug from the socket outlet and do not plug it in again.
Mark clearly the bed with a “Faulty” sign and make sure it cannot be used. Inform immediately the owner of the bed
about the problem.
In case of non-compliance with these safety rules, it is not possible to exclude the risk of serious damages to the bed
with related consequences!

5.4 DETERGENTS AND DISINFECTANTS
Make sure to follow the recommendations listed below to maintain the bed functionality for as long as possible:
• All surfaces must be intact and any damages must be immediately rectified.
• We recommend using a method of disinfection (wet) by scrubbing. The detergent should not be aggressive (not harmful
for the skin and for surfaces) and it must be ecological. In general you can use a mild household detergent.
• To clean and disinfect the painted metal parts use a damp cloth with a common non aggressive mild household
detergent.
The disinfectant for scrubbing the bed must be chosen from among those recommended for this procedure (and used
in the indicated concentration).
• Despite the mechanical strength of the bed it is necessary to remove any scratches and dents in the paint with special
repair kits in order to prevent moisture penetration.
Never use abrasive clearing products and stainless steel cleaners containing solvents or cleaning pads, to avoid
damaging the bed surface.
5.4.1 HOW TO USE DISINFECTANTS
• You must only use the correct concentration! We recommend using automatic dispensers.
• Prepare the solution always with cold water to prevent the build up of vapours which might be irritating for mucous
membranes.
• Wear gloves to avoid any direct contact with the skin.
• Do not store the disinfectant solutions in open bottles or containers. Make sure to always close them!
• Use bottles with pump dispensers to wet the cleaning cloth.
• Ventilate the room after the disinfection.
• Carry out the disinfection by scrubbing and not by spraying the disinfectant in a large quantitative with the risk of being
inhaled.
• This is why rubbing plays an important role.
• Do not use alcohol for large surfaces.
Regulations
The owners of the nursing beds, in accordance with the applicable regulations in force, are requested to guarantee the
safety conditions of the medical products during their use. To achieve this, it is therefore necessary to regularly carry out
inspections and maintenance interventions.
Notes for the owner
This bed was manufactured to function properly for a long period of time. When used correctly, it can be operated for
around 2 to 8 years depending on the conditions and frequency of its use.
6.1 By the user
In addition to regular checks by the specialised staff, even the normal day to day users (such as nurses, assistants, etc.)
must perform both a visual and a functional inspection before each new use and at regular intervals.
Recommendation: check all mechanical and electrical components once a month. In addition check the power cord and
the hand control cable after each mechanical stress and after each change of position.
Therefore it is necessary both for the owner and the user to follow the safety norms for medical devices with the imple-
mentation of regular inspections to verify the correct functioning of the bed.
Inform the user that it is mandatory to carry out these check.
