WARNING: To prevent additional entrapment hazards,
we recommend that you install the product at least
318 mm away from any adjacent bedside furniture. Where
this is not possible, the prescriber must do a risk analysis.
WARNING: To prevent hand entrapment do not hold the
grab rail when altering the prole of the bed.
WARNING: The maximum user weight must not be more
than 160 kg (25 st).
YOU MUST carry out a risk assessment to assess the
use and suitability of the bed rail in relation to the users
physical and cognitive ability, as well as the surrounding
environment.
DO NOT install this product to a damaged bed.
ALWAYS check the proling operation of the bed with the
grab rail already xed in position, for any potential risks
prior to use.
ALWAYS make sure that the mattress is as close as
possible to the bed rail. Any gap could allow the client to
become wedged in-between.
DO NOT use on electrically height adjustable beds unless
the height adjustment function has been disabled, as this
could damage the bed rail and / or the bed frame when
operated.
ALWAYS make sure the bed rail is rmly clamped to
the bed frame. Check regularly to ensure the bed rail is
securely clamped.
ALWAYS detach the handrail from the base before
carrying or storing the product.
