1. Introduction and general information
Thank you for choosing to buy a RotoBed®Free.
RotoBed®Free is a high quality product that will serve you as an aid for many years to come with
proper use and maintenance. To get the most out of your bed, please read this manual carefully.
The same applies to any other persons, such as carers or relatives who are going to operate the
bed.
It is important that anyone who is to service or clean the RotoBed®Free bed is aware of the safety
section. This is especially true if at any time there are children in the immediate vicinity of the bed.
Please note the warranty section, including what to comply with in order to maintain the warranty.
This manual may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. The information contained herein is
regularly updated, and changes to product care and others may be enrolled in later editions.
Changes and improvements without notice may occur. Fore information, please contact us.
In addition to this guidance and the applicable country's accident prevention rules, a RotoBed®
must always be used in accordance with recognized rules for safe and professional work.
Please contact us if your needs change after the purchase of the care bed. We have a wide range
of accessories that can help make the RotoBed® bed an optimal tool for you.
We hope that your new nursing bed will give you increased comfort, mobility and quality of life.
1.1. lWhat RotoBed®Free can do for you
People who are struggling to get into or out of the bed themselves can, with a RotoBed®Free,
become selfreliant and manage entry and exit without physical effort.
By holding down a single key on the remote control, the bed is raised to chair position and
rotated towards the room. This facilitates both exit and potential transition to a wheel-chair or
stand up hoist. The movement takes less than a minute.
RotoBed®Free helps the user maintain mobility and supports the user's standing function. The
bed makes the user more selfreliant and reduces the trouble and pain of getting up and going
to bed.
The patient surface is 4-sectioned, and entry and exit is possible on both sides of the bed.
In addition to the rotary function, RotoBed®Free features electrical adjustment of height,
backrest and leg parts. It is also possible to individually store backrest inclination and exit angle.

2. Before commissioning
2.1. lReception
 Check that all ordered parts are free of defects at reception. Damage that has occurred
during transport must be notified immediately upon delivery.
 Do not acknowledge receipt before the entire delivery has been reviewed. If there is any
doubt as to whether there is damage to the delivery, it must be received subject to the
receipt.
 Contact the manufacturer or dealer if the product is damaged, if it has other visible signs
of defects or if the bed is not working.
2.2 lPlacement
Select the correct location for the bed:
Provide sufficient distance to wall / furniture, taking into account the movements of the bed.
Place the bed near a wall outlet to prevent free cables / fall risk.
If a lifting pole is mounted on the bed, ensure sufficient free ceiling height with the bed in the
highest position.
Illustration of the bed's dimensions and space
requirements.
Be aware that it is possible to store the
inclination of the backrest during rotation.
Standard delivery setting is a 45° inclination
and a distance to the wall of at least 11 cm.
Inclination can be stored between 35° and 55°.
The chosen inclination will affect the required
distance to the wall during rotation.

3. Commissioning
3.1 l Mounting of the mattress
A RotoBed®Free bed comes with a mattress consisting of a main part and a foot part.
The main mattress has 5 buttons on the back.
First place the three lower buttons in the grooves at the bottom of the bed.
Slide the mattress towards the foot end.
Now press the two buttons in the centre of the mattress into the corresponding holes
in the middle of the bed.
Similarly, the foot mattress has two buttons, which fit into the two round holes in the bed.
3.2 lMounting of side rails
RotoBed®Free can be delivered with side rails made of metal or oak veneer.
Regardless of material, the side rails are mounted and removed in the same way:
Press the small fitting underneath while lifting the bed rail.
The side rails can simply be put back into place and will automatically lock.
NB! The side rails should only be mounted or not mounted. Do not leave them upright
and loose. This may cause squeeze risk and damage to the bed during rotation.

3.3 lRemote control
RotoBed®Free can be programmed to turn either right or left. Therefore,
the remote control can also be connected to both the right and left sides
of the bed. Optional remote control can be purchased as desired. When
the remote control is not in use, place it on the side rail.

3.4lOperating RotoBed®Free
Entry
Get seated as close to the backrest as possible for the best
comfort. Hold down the Sleeping Position key until the bed
is rotated and horizontal. Now, RotoBed®Free works as an
ordinary care bed.
Before use:
Hold down the Chair Position key until the bed stops in exit
position. As standard, RotoBed®Free is programmed to run to
an oblique exit position to facilitate transfer to a wheelchair or
walker. If you wish a perpendicular exit, do as follows:
Hold the program keys Chair Position and Sleeping Position
for 5 seconds until a beep sounds. In future, the bed will
automatically move to a perpendicular exit. In order to go back to
oblique exit, repeat the procedure.
NB:
To store bed height, see Individual storing of bed height

Exit:
Hold down the Chair Position key until the bed stops in an
exit position. To facilitate exit you can, by means of the
remote control, move the backrest the last bit forward and
raise the bed a little in height.
Individual storing of bed height:
The standard height is 32 cm above the floor. If desired, you
can store your favorite bed height (exit height) individually.
Raise and store bed height:
Move the bed to exit position. Use the height key to find the
desired height. The height can be stored by holding both
height keys simultaneously for 10 seconds until a beep
sounds. In future, the bed will automatically move to the
stored height each time you activate the Chair Position key.
Lower and store bed height:
Move the bed, inside the bed frame, to the lowest position
and hold both height keys simultaneously for 10 seconds
until a beep sounds. Then move the bed to the exit position
(it will now be very low, 32 cm above the floor). Find the new
desired entry height and repeat the 10 seconds press of the
height keys. Now the new height is saved.
Change stored bed height:
Repeat procedure for lower bed height.
Individual storing of backrest inclination:
Move the backrest to desired inclination during entry and exit.
Press both backrest keys simultaneously for 10 seconds until
a beep sounds. In the future this will be the inclination when
using Chair Position and Sleeping Position.
Standard delivery inclination is 45º.
