ULTRA LOW BED - USER MANUAL

READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND OBSERVE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTIONS
Please read the contents of this instruction manual carefully prior to using the PremiumLift Ultra Low Bed
(“the bed”). In the event the PremiumLift Ultra Low Bed changes owners, please supply this instruction
manual to the new owner.
When the bed is moved on the transport frame take care not to allow it to tip over.
Please check all fixings on your bed at least once per month. Pay special attention to sleeping platform
bolts.
Before cleaning and disinfection, the mains plug must be disconnected and hung safely.
Plugs for the handset and the motors which are inserted into the mattress base control box and the motor
unit must remain plugged in. This is necessary to prevent water ingress to the control box.
Do not sit on the leg section of the bed when operating the raise function.
Ensure the recommended service and maintenance schedule in this manual is completed. Failure to do so
may invalidate warranty claims.
WARNINGS
Before lowering the bed check the area underneath is clear. Any obstructing article could be damaged or
could cause instability to the bed.
Take care when lowering the bed to ensure limbs of any person or other objects present do not become
trapped under the bed. The lowering rate will reduce when 120mm from floor level, to allow the operation
to be stopped and the bed raised before any limb or object becomes trapped. Do not store the power supply
under the bed.

1 INTENDED PURPOSE
1.1 USE FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED (APPLICATION ENVIRONMENT)
This care bed is intended for accommodating patients or occupants in residential homes, nursing homes
and care in the home and may only be used under the conditions for use described in this Instruction
Manual.
Any other use shall be regarded as non-compliant with the regulations and is excluded from any liability.
ATTENTION: The care bed is not designed for use in hospitals.
The care bed is not suitable for medical electrical applications which involve intravascular or intercardiac
processes with the patient. The care bed is not designed for the transport of patients.
If other electrical devices are used in the bed and to prevent the risk of an electrical shock, protective
measures and precautions must be established to prevent power cords being trapped in movable parts of
the bed.
1.2 NON-COMPLIANT USE
All uses deviating from the intended purpose, which may also be hazardous as a result.
This includes for example:
• Loading the care bed beyond the safe admissible working load 185Kg
• Operation of the care bed by patients or occupants who have not been instructed in its use.
• Use of the care bed for children.
• Attempting to move the care bed when castors are braked.
• Use of the care bed on a non-horizontal surface (max. incline 5°).
GENERAL INFORMATION
USER MANUAL Page 3

2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following instructions are a non-exhaustive list of recommendations for the safe use of
the bed.
•Never store anything under the bed.
•Ensure children cannot operate the control system and check no pets are under the bed before
operating any of the functions. Do not sit on the leg section of the bed when operating the raise function.
•Specific attention must be drawn to any potential dangers which can occur despite correct operation.
Before putting the care bed into service for the first time, the Instruction Manual must be read in detail
by the user / care personnel.
•When operating the adjusting functions, there must not be any objects or limbs in the area of movement
of the care bed or where there is risk of crushing.
•If the physical or mental state of the patient requires it, the handset should be locked on the reverse
side when not in use (nurses’ key), or keep the handset out of reach of such a patient to avoid the risk
of strangulation with the handset cord.
•Adjustments to the bed must only be carried out by suitably instructed persons or in the presence of an
instructed person.
•Unplug the mains plug from the socket before moving the care bed and take care to avoid dragging the
mains plug across the floor when moving the bed.
•The mains plug must always remain accessible to enable immediate cut-off by unplugging the mains
plug from the wall socket in case of emergency. The mains cable must be free and away from the bed
frame. Otherwise, the mains cable may be torn out and damaged. In addition, the mains plug may be
pulled out of its socket and electric leads exposed as a result. If the mains cable or the mains plug is
damaged, the relevant part must be replaced. This work should only be carried out by the manufacturer
or authorised professionals.
•When connecting the mains plug, do not use multiple sockets since liquids may penetrate into these
(fire hazard and electric shock).
•When the bed is stationary the castors must always be in the braked position. If the castors are not
braked, the bed can move when the occupant gets into and out of bed, since the occupant uses the
bed for support. Injury can result if the care bed rolls away.
•In order to move the care bed, the brakes on all four castors must be released and the mattress base
moved to the lowest horizontal position.
•The maximum duty cycle and the safe working load must not be exceeded otherwise safe operation
cannot be guaranteed
•The bed must not be used in rooms where there is a risk of explosion or hazardous materials and
chemicals are stored
•Make sure the mattress base is at its lowest position before leaving the patient unattended. This will
minimise the risk of injury to the patient when getting in or out of bed.

14 CASTORS
The castors on the bed can be braked and must be in the braked position during normal operation.
The brakes should only be released when the bed needs to be moved. Please refer to the Safety
Information.
15 ELECTRIC EMERGENCY LOWERING VIA THE INTEGRATED 9V BATTERY
The bed frame is equipped with a 9V block battery, which makes it possible to make a CPR emergency
lowering in the event of a power failure. Please note, however, that this is only possible once per 9V battery,
as the capacity of the battery is limited.
After the emergency lowering has been used, the 9V battery must be replaced (Type 6LR61 alkaline
manganese battery). The battery should however be replaced every 2 years even if it has not been used.
To replace, check or remove the 9V battery, before storage, open the battery compartment on the power
supply unit attached to the backrest motor.
16 BATTERY CHANGE
For safety unplug main plug
Remove the battery carrier (the black plastic ring protruding from
the control box) and remove the 9V battery. If required, replace
it with a new (type 6LR61 alkaline manganese) battery.

18 GUARANTEE
As stated in our Standard Terms and Conditions, we
provide a manufacturer’s warranty of 5 years on the
frame and 2 years on the electricals from the date of
purchase.
To take advantage of the warranty, the bed must be
serviced (without exception) every 12 months by a
PremiumLift distributor approved technician using only
PremiumLift original spare parts.
19 SERVICE LIFE & DISPOSAL
The service life of the care bed depends essentially
upon the handling and servicing.
To guarantee safe operation, a visual and functional test
including an electrical test must be carried out at least
once a year.
If ther is any doubt about the safety or functionality of the
bed or even a part of the bed as a result of the work
performed below, the bed should under no
circumstances be in service again.
The service life of our care beds in domestic use is
assumed to be approximately 5 years. This naturally
depends upon the manner of use. The care bed is
suitable for reuse if all above measures are taken.
Frequent transportation, setting up and adjustment
reduce the service life, as do improper treatment,
irregular servicing and exceeding the safe working load
or the admissible load cycle of the electric motors. The
care bed must not be disposed of as normal household
waste after the end of its service life. To ensure that it is
disposed of in an environmentally compatible way
please contact PremiumLift.
