SAFETY
3.0 Safety instructions
3.1 General
For your own safety as well as the safety of the patient and third parties, familiarize yourself with the limits and dangers
associated with the use of the "electrically height-adjustable therapy couch" before using it for the first time.
Observe all safety and warning instructions! Also observe the safety and warning instructions when using devices
together!
These operating instructions contain important information on safe handling, operation, care and
maintenance.
The instructions are an integral part of the therapy couch and must always be kept within reach for
all users.
In the event of a change of ownership or location, these instructions must be handed over with the
couch. Failure to comply with these instructions will result in the loss of warranty and guarantee
claims!
Observe the additional regional and country-specific rules and regulations for occupational safety
and accident prevention that apply to the place of use.
The operator may only use the therapy couch within its intended purpose for therapy and treatment.
The operator may only allow qualified personnel or persons instructed and authorised in work safety
and accident prevention regulations to work on the therapy couch.
Caution
The operator must ensure that all users have read and understood the instructions, warnings and
safety notes in these instructions and are sufficiently informed about their operation. This must be
checked at regular intervals.
The operator must ensure that the therapy couch cannot be operated by unauthorised persons
when unattended.
The user must ensure that children are always supervised and do not stay in the area of the therapy
couch. This can lead to serious accidents.
The operator may only allow trained persons to work on the therapy couch for cleaning and care.
When leaving the therapy couch, it must be secured in such a way that unauthorised adjustment is
not possible. This can lead to serious accidents.
The therapy couch / pads are not sterile. Open wounds or skin irritations must not come into contact
with the padding material.
DANGER
When leaving the therapy couch, it must be secured in such a way that unauthorised adjustment is
not possible. For absolute safety, we recommend pulling the mains plug out of the socket when the
therapy couch is unattended.
When using additional devices (e.g. red light or heat emitters), the user must ensure that the
therapy couch cannot be adjusted unintentionally or accidentally. Safety distances must be
observed exactly.
The operator has a duty of care towards his employees. We therefore recommend safe footwear to
prevent the risk of injury.

The stability in case of small unevenness in the floor can be
improved by unscrewing the level adjustment at the feet of
the couch frame.
In the case of an energetically operated therapy couch, it should be positioned near a power socket!
Lay the mains cable in such a way that there is no danger, use cable bridges if necessary!
Check whether the operating voltage of the therapy couch (label) corresponds to the mains voltage!
The therapy couch is immediately ready for operation after connection to the mains voltage.

The height is adjusted by means of a lifting cylinder via a foot pedal on both sides of the couch.
To raise or lower the lying surface, press the foot pedal
down or up and then release the pedal.
Repeat this until the lying surface is in the position you

FUNCTION
6.3 Height adjustment with electric motor
The adjustment of the height by means of an electric motor is carried out by means of a hand switch, a foot switch or a
railing/round switch on all sides of the couch.
HAND & FOOT SWITCH
The electric height adjustment is operated by a double-
pressure actuation of the hand switch (release coding) or
the foot switch in order to prevent an unintentional or
unauthorized adjustment.
To adjust the height, the same direction button on the
handset or foot switch must be pressed twice in quick
succession. After the second actuation, the drive is enabled.
Now the lying surface can be raised or lowered. With
Lying surface moves upwards
Lying surface moves downwards
the drive moves in the desired direction as long as the
switch remains pressed. Releasing the button immediately
interrupts the adjustment process.
Manual switch
Foot switch
Once the height adjustment has been completed, within
3 seconds, before the couch switches off automatically.
If the interruption is greater than 3 seconds, you must
execute the double-pressure release again. For wiring
diagram, see Technical Data.
The times are permanently coded in the drive and cannot be
changed.
The therapy couch must not be operated by unauthorised persons when unattended!
Children must always be supervised and are not allowed in the area of the therapy couch!
►Cleaning and care personnel must always be instructed in occupational safety.

damaged!
►Make sure that no one gets trapped between the arm section, head section and floor when the therapy
couch is at a low height.
►Accidental, single or permanent actuation by a weight of an object or a person does not lead to lowering of
the frame.
