If any signs of contamination are identied, the bumper system should be withdrawn from use
immediately and cleaned.

GENERAL INFORMATION
MOVING, HANDLING AND STORAGE
Where possible, the bumper system should be stored at to prevent damage to the product.

SAFE USE
This product is intended as an aid to prevent accidental injury. With a carer present check
the material, zips and fastenings to ensure that these parts of the bumper systems have not
been damaged and do not introduce gaps too or a hazard that could be increased the risk of
entrapment suffocation or injury to the end user or carer.
Before and during use of the bumper system, consider the effectiveness of the system,
