1. General Safety Instructions
Before putting the bed into operation, it is very important that this User Manual is read carefully. The manual
contains important information for safe and proper use of the bed. Keep this manual handy for future
reference.
All of the functions of this bed should be fully tested by a competent person before the bed is used.
The bed must not be used if faults have been detected that may injure the patient/user or cause damage to the bed or
the surrounding furniture.
The operating persons are obliged to acquaint the patient lying on the bed with the control functions that are designed
for use by the patient, and their safe usage.
The operating person is obliged, before using the bed, to be confident of the functionality and safe usage of the bed.
The bed may be used only on even and solid floors.
The bed must never be overloaded. Maximum working load - 180 kg (28.3 stones).
If there is a patient on the bed, castors must be locked (with the exception of when travelling with the bed). An
unlocked bed poses risk of injury to the patient when leaving the bed or when supporting themselves.
The height of the mattress platform must be adjusted according to the height and condition of the patient.
This is a single patient bed; no other people should sit on the bed.
When handling the moving parts of the bed, ensure that the patient, other people or objects do not become trapped.
Before cleaning or maintaining the bed, the mains power cable must be disconnected from the mains.
The bed should not be used where there is a danger of explosion or in the presence of flammable anaesthetics.
When maintaining and cleaning the bed in the space between the undercarriage and mattress platform, the profiling
functions on the handset must be locked to avoid unintentional activation of the mattress platform.
The mains power cable must be stored neatly so it does not get wound around or trapped between the moving parts
of the bed. If the mains power cable is damaged there is a serious danger of injury from electrical current.
Inspections should be made at least once a month for visible wear and tear of all moving parts of the bed and cables.
The bed is intended for adults from 12 years of age. Ensure that children only have access to the bed under
adequate supervision. Do not allow children underneath the bed at any time.
2. Features
The drivers for the adjustment are electric mechanical linear motors with maintenance free permanent lubrication.
The motors are operated by a handset connected to the main control box via a spiral wound cable.
The motors and handset are isolated from mains voltage (230v) and operated at DC 24v low voltage.
3. Installation
The bed should only be assembled by a suitably competent person. The bed is suitable for installation by one
person. When installing more than five beds, two people should be used to complete the installation. They must read
and fully understand all of the instructions contained in this user manual. Do not attempt to assemble this bed if you
are unsure about any part of the instructions, or if any damage or defect can be identified.
The fuse in the mains plug should not exceed 5 amps.
The bed should be located on a level flat surface. Do not site the bed on loose carpet, rugs or floor coverings.
The cable from the mains power supply plug to the main control unit must be positioned clear of the lift mechanism
and braked castor system to eliminate the danger of shearing or crushing the cable.
Ensure that all cable conduits are fully secured.

8 Transport Frame
To prevent damage during transportation or storage, use the transporter set:
Raise the bed up so that it is high enough to fit the transporter set.
Remove the headboard, footboard and all four mounting brackets. Ensure that these are bagged and stored safely to
avoid damage. Leave the hand screws in the bed frame ready for the transporter set.
Fit the transporter set frames with the wheel pointing toward the floor with one frame at either end of the bed, then
tighten the hand screws. Ensure that all of the castor brakes are locked on the transporter frames.
Lower the bed via the handset until the bed starts to lift off the floor.
Disconnect the mains power plug. Carefully roll the lead up with the handset ensuring that there are no kinks and store
them to ensure they do not get damaged during transportation / storage.
Lift the bed up by the platform frame and rotate the bed frame so that the bed rests on all four transporter set wheels.
Store in a dry place (between +5 °C and +45 °C), relative humidity of the air should be between 30% and 70%.
Store all removed parts together in one place to avoid them being mixed up with other products when re-assembling.
When re-assembling the bed, all assembly procedures and safety checks must be performed as per this user manual.

The headboard and footboard brackets should be inserted into the four corners of the bed frame. Ensure that the
dimple in the underside of the bracket is in line with the allen screws/hand screws, fit the headboard and footboard
panels and then tighten the allen screws/hand screws.
Side rails:
These should be fitted onto the bed. Locate the sleeves into the cylindrical mounting brackets, push in the side rail then
tighten all of the allen screws/hand screws.

6 Additional Safety information
IMPORTANT - In the case of any unusual noises or smells during the operation, switch off the power at the mains and
remove the plug immediately. Ensure that no cables are damaged or trapped in the mechanism. If you have any doubts
concerning the safe operation of this bed, remove the bed from use and call Park House Healthcare Ltd, Tel: [phone]
333 at your earliest convenience.
The handset should be plugged into the bottom of nurse lock-out box located at the foot end of the bed. The knob on the
control box can either be set locked (knob horizontal) or unlocked (knob vertical).
Nurse Lock-out box
The head section, knee break, bed height and electronic CPR functions are adjusted by pressing the appropriate button
on the handset. For ease of use, the buttons are labelled graphically according to their function. Keep the button pressed,
there may be a very small delay before the actuator kicks in.
Any persons assembling or using the bed should read the user manual and familiarise themselves with its operation.
Ensure that any objects such as waste bins, occasional tables, chairs etc. are not placed beneath the lifting
mechanism of the bed and the head / footboard are not situated beneath a fixed object, i.e. window sills.
To avoid injury during operation, ensure limbs and body parts i.e. fingers, arms, etc. are clear from the moving parts
of the bed and the side rails.
Before moving the bed to a different location, disconnect the mains power supply (un-plug). Failure to do so may
result in damage to the bed and / or serious or fatal injury.
It is not recommended that the bed is used for transportation.
Under no circumstances must the bed be moved by pulling or pushing the side rails, headboard or footboard, either
when the bed is occupied or empty. The side rails, headboard and footboard are not designed for this purpose.
Never exceed the maximum usage period of 6 minutes per hour, for the electrically driven bed functions, by lengthy
and unnecessary profiling or height adjustments. This can trip the thermal safety fuse which will stop the powered
movement of all electrically operated bed parts.
Once the bed is sited in the desired position, always ensure that the castors are locked in the braked position.
To lock - press the foot bar down. To release the brakes - lift the foot bar up.
Before dismantling or troubleshooting, ensure that all functions are in the lowered position (where possible), the
power supply is switched off and the power cable is disconnected from the mains (un-plugged) Ensure that all
functions are not under any un-due load and are free moving.
Before operation
Ensure that the assembly is completed fully, and in accordance with the instructions given in this user manual.
Ensure that the electrical mains supply voltage corresponds to that marked on the main control unit label before
connecting to the mains supply.
The mains leads MUST be plugged directly into the wall socket. Use of extension leads is not permitted.
Ensure that cables from all motors are connected to the main control unit correctly before operation.
Ensure that all functions of the bed have been tested and that the bed is working normally.
