Use & CareGuide
Welcome to your Siesta Hi-Lo! We hope that you will gain many years use of our
product. This guide tells you how to look after your Siesta Hi-Lo and make sure
that it is used in the way it is intended. Please read it carefully and keep it for
future reference. If the Siesta Hi-Lo is passed to another user, please ensure that
the person responsible for their care receives this guide.Please check the product
regularlyto ensureit is in good condition and contact us if youhave any concerns.
Supervision & Security
When used in accordance with this Guide, a Siesta Hi-Lo can provide a safer area for
people with limited mobility who would be unsafe in an ordinary bed. It is not suitable for
anyone who could pull themselves up on, or fall over the sides.
The Siesta Hi-Lo is not a substitute for supervision. The same level of supervision and
security should be applied as the individual using the Siesta Hi-Lo would require in any
room or bed. Unsupervised access to the outside of the Siesta Hi-Lo should not be
permitted. Do not allow the person using the equipment to have access to the Siesta Hi-Lo
handset.
Because an individual’s size, mobility & abilities can change over time, regular assessment
is needed to make sure that the product continues to meet the needs of the user.
The Siesta Hi-Lo cannot remove the risk of injury completely. Adequate and appropriate
supervision must be provided at all times.
Safe Distance
A minimum 25cm clear area around the Siesta Hi-Lo must be maintained at all times,
including when activating the bed base functions.
There is 12cm sideways travel as part of the Hi-Lo’s height adjustable function.
Please do not place or store any items in the gaps around the Safespace Hi-Lo e.g. furniture,
toys etc, as this will mean that the equipment cannot be used safely.

Height Adjustment
The height adjustment function is operated by the handset, which is
stored in the pocket at the end of the bed when not in use.
When the bed is not being used or when it is being moved, it should be
returned to its lowest position.
Only use the Siesta Hi-Lo at the highest position for periods of nursing
and care.
Stabilizing & Moving the Siesta Hi-Lo
The braking system is made up of twin wheel-locking castors at each end. They are
operated by a foot bar underneath the Hi-Lo near the wheels at each end. Push this bar
down with your foot to apply the brakes, and push it up to disengage the brakes.
Make sure there are no objects, obstacles pets or children, underneath the Hi-Lo before
moving, lowering or raising it.
Before moving the Siesta Hi-Lo, ensure it is at its lowest height and is fully unplugged from
the power source. Any trailing leads should be secured to avoid entanglement with moving
parts.
Once moved to the required position, put the brakes on immediately.
The Siesta Hi-Lo is not designed to be a means of transport.
If you need to dismantle your Siesta Hi-Lo please contact us for advice.
Sharp Objects
Sharp objects, such as pens, pencils, hair clips, hard plastic or metal toys or hard furniture, could
cause tears in the fabric of the Siesta Hi-Lo so should not be taken into, or near the outside of it.
In the event of a tear occurring, please contact us immediately.
Zips
Cords, or ribbons, should not be attached to the zip pullers to extend their length as this
could damage the zip.
The door should be either fully opened when access is needed, or fully closed whilst the
Siesta Hi-Lo is being used. Do not allow unsupervised access to the doors or windows,
when in an open position, as this provides a ap of material that could be vulnerable to
damage.

Tension
It is essential that the tension on the corners of the Siesta Hi-Lo, set by our Technician'sduring
installation is maintained. Do not attempt to adjust the tension yourself without our advice, as
over tensioning can damage the Siesta Hi-Lo. Please make sure no-one gains unauthorised
access to the tensioning system on the corners.
Alterations
The Siesta Hi-Lo must not be altered or adapted in any way.
Cleaning & Maintenance
A mild detergent is the best cleaning agent to use on the Siesta Hi-Lo. Diluted disinfectant
or medical standard anti-bacterial wipes can be used if necessary. We advise that
abrasives, cream cleaners, chlorine-based or bleach-based cleaning products are not used
to clean the Siesta Hi-Lo as it could affect the integrity of the fabric.
Before cleaning or undertaking maintenance of the bed base mechanism, ensure that the
power is switched off at the socket. Although all electronics are sealed, the bed &
mechanism cannot be put through a wash tunnel system.
Every six months examine the undercarriage for signs of damage, making sure all
fasteners, retaining bolts and castors are tight and none are missing.
Please note that staining to the product can occur under the action of pens, markers, urine
and faeces etc. The sooner the product is cleaned, the more successful the cleaning.
Staining does not affect the effectiveness or structural integrity of the product.
