4. Instructions for use
4.1 Receiving the Vario changing bed
Vario is a wall fixed changing bed. It is delivered partly assembled. Connecting the product to mains will
make it operational.
Vario will come in two packages. One for the “Lifting unit” and one for the “tabletop”.
4.2 Placement of power socket
4.2.1 Placement outside of lifting Unit
Make sure that you allow free space on all sides of the changing bed.
The main power cable (230V) has a total length of approx. 320 cm, of which 250 cm of the cable is outside
the lifting unit. The cable can be pulled out in either left or right side.
Caution!
When connected to the mains the product must be placed in a manner according to power
outlets so that the operator will be able to disconnect the product during use in case of an
emergency.
Note!
The ceiling height must be at least 2.35m. In rooms with a lower height than this, it will make
it impossible to install the product.
Warning!
Make sure that the Main 230 V socket is placed according to the national requirements for
such installations.

4.2.2 Placement behind lifting unit
The following drawing illustrates the space that can be allocated for an electrical outlet without interfering
with the movement of the unit. The blue-hatched area is the safe are for placing an electrical outlet and
cover. Placing the cover outside of this may result in product damage and malfunction.
If possible, hold off on the final position of the mains cable and cover in the wall, until the lifting unit has been
fully placed and fixed to the wall (steps for mounting the unit are detailed later in this manual). Then raise the
sled to the top-level position and use the cutout to ensure a safe fit of the electrical cable and cover with
proper clearance all around.
It is crucial to control the cable from the outlet, down to the control
box. This is to ensure that the sled will not risk cutting or
otherwise damaging the cable during product travel.
Fix the mains cable to the brackets (shown in red) using the
included zip-ties, making sure the cable is tight with no loose
parts that could get trapped by the moving sled.
Once everything is placed, perform a test-run of the full length of
travel down and up again to ensure that nothing is in danger of
entrapment or collides with the moving sled.

4.4 Mounting to the wall
The attachment holes can be marked up on the wall, four possibilities in the top, and four in the bottom of the
frame. Place the frame against the wall and make sure it is horizontal. The frame is standing on two
adjustable feet. The holes in the frame are all Ø 10 mm. Remove the frame and drill the holes.
Attach the frame securely to the wall by using adequate bolts and rawlplugs suitable for the type of wall
construction / material on site. The Shower bed is being supplied with a set (8 pcs) of screws and rawlplugs,
which is ONLY used to mount the unit in a concrete wall. If the unit must be mounted on another kind of wall,
other kinds of plugs and screws must be used.
Changing bed has a max user weight of 200 kg.
Maximum load in the top screws is 40kg for each screw.
Caution!
If you have other objects mounted right next to this changing bed, you have to consider the
risk of trapping, and therefore consider a safe distance to the other objects.
Caution!
It is important that the frame is screwed securely to the wall. If the frame comes loose, a
person may fall off the shower bed.
Force for each of the four screws in top of the unit:
Kscrew = (200kg * 884mm)/(1122mm * 4 screws)
Kscrew = 40kg for each screw
Note!
Make sure that no dust or other obstacles are interfering with the rollers, chain, sprocket or
gas springs. This can cause malfunction and damage the system.

4.6 Wire diagram
The changing bed is delivered with the control box already mounted on the frame. The diagram
shows how the cables are connected to the control box.
All the plugs are watertight, and therefore they can be a
little tricky to connect / disconnect. Make sure that the
plugs are positioned correctly before they are pushed
into the sockets at the control box. The plugs must be
pushed into the sockets until the “O-ring” is no longer
visible.
Motor, control box and control switch apply to IPX6. This
means that they are dustproof and water resistant.
The electronic system is designed for periodical use
only, this means a max. duty cycle of 10%; 2min on /
18min off.

5. Instructions for use
5.1 Operating the product
5.1.1 Actuation of the product
The product is operated with the spiral cord hand control. Arrow up will move the product upwards, and
arrow down will move the product downwards.
Warning!
The product should always be able to travel the full range of actuation without colliding with
objects. Failing to do so will compromise the product stability.
Special care should be taken in ensuring that no children or adults are sited under the
product as severer injury from entrapment may occur.
Only adjust the product in height position, when the table-top is in horizontal position
Note!
The control buttons are «push and hold». Height adjustment stops as soon as the button is
released. This is an important safety measure.
Warning!
Before use always make sure that mains cable and hand control cable will be able to travel
freely without the risk of squeezing or disconnecting the product as result of the movement.

5.1.2 Operation of the bed guards
Vario is not supplied with bed guard as standard. This can be ordered as an accessory.
To operate the bed guards, pull the rubber tubing placed under the tabletop to release the locking
mechanism. The bed guard can then be pivoted to the desired mode.
Warning!
Make sure that the bed guard is locked securely in place when in use. Locking is checked
by shaking the bed guard back and forth ensuring that the locking pin is fully engaged.
5.1.3 How to fold changing bed up and down
The worktop can be secured against inadvertent folding in upright position by locking the table with the
locking pin.
For folding the worktop in downwards position, remove locking pin and lower top by hand.
Note!
Prior to folding worktop in upright position, bed guard must be turned underneath worktop.
Warning!
Always make sure worktop is securely locked in upright position with locking pin.when left in
this position. Check shower bed is locked by pulling the worktop to ensure locking pin is
fully engaged and worktop cannot be lowered.
