Introduction
Designed in the UK, Ultimate Healthcare’s Mattress Elevator is adjustable and
suitable for single and double beds measuring from 76cm to 152cm wide (2’6”
to 5’).
Electrically powered, the mattress elevator provides postural support allowing
the user/users to sit up unaided at the touch of a button. The back angle
adjustment is variable from 10 to 70˚. Fitted with quality controls and
actuator, the operation is smooth and quiet.
The mattress elevator is suitable for most pocket sprung and foam mattresses,
but not for the more ridged, orthopaedic and bariatric type mattresses.
Please note: Prolonged use may cause damage to the mattress.
The single or combined maximum user weight is 254kg (40.5 stone).
Safe working load (including mattress) is 313kg (49 stone).

Assembly and fitting
Prior to installation, ensure your mattress elevator is suitable for your local
supply, i.e. 230 Volts 50Hz and UK 3-pin socket (BS1363)
1. Ensure that the bed to which the Ultimate Healthcare mattress elevator is
fitted has a base of suitable strength and rigidity to support the product.
2. Having removed the mattress from the bed, place the mattress elevator
on the headboard end of the bed base with the chrome bars uppermost.
3. The end of the base frame should be placed approximately 80mm from
the end of the bed.
4. The two chrome bars are adjustable; these need to be set to suit the
width of mattress. To do this, remove the four e-clips on the top and
bottom bars of the mattress frame and extend to approximately 50mm
inside the edge of the mattress. This will ensure full support. Once done
so, replace the e-clips.
5. Note the Ultimate Healthcare mattress elevator has colour-matched
retaining straps to identify where they should be fastened.
6. Secure the mattress elevator base section to the bed base using:
• The single blue strap along the length and looped under the base.
• The two green straps across the width and looped under the base.
Following step 6, ensure straps are tensioned fully and the mattress elevator is
retained firmly in place. See picture below.

Assembly and fitting, continued:
7. Replace the mattress with the bed sheet fitted onto the bed base and
mattress elevator.
8. Secure the mattress elevator upper section to the mattress using the
single black strap around the width of the mattress. Ensure the strap is
tensioned sufficiently. See picture below.

9. Connect both transformer cable and hand controller cable to the two
mattress elevator leads attached to the actuator (motor).
10. Having ensured the power cables are routed safely towards the head
end of the bed, insert the mains lead into the power supply. Then, insert
the mains plug into the power socket. Power on is indicated by a green
light on the transformer.
11. The mattress elevator is ready for use.
Instructions for use
Using the hand controller, press and hold the left hand button to raise the
mattress elevator to the desired position.
The mattress elevator can be stopped and used at any angle.
To lower the mattress elevator, press and hold the left hand button on the
hand controller. See hand controller diagram below.
Always unplug the unit from the mains supply when not in use.

Maintenance
Inspect the mattress elevator daily. Ensure that the securing straps are under
tension and the frame is positioned correctly on the bed.
Check the frame, straps, power leads, transformer and hand controller for any
signs of wear/damage.
If parts are found to be defective or worn, do not use the mattress elevator.
Seek assistance from your supplier or contact Customer Services on 0870 428
6295.
Before cleaning the mattress elevator, ensure the
mattress elevator is unplugged from the power supply. Failure to do so could
result in injury from electric shock.
Use a cleaner or disinfectant solution. Remove the cleaner or disinfectant with
clean water and dry before use. The webbing straps can be washed in warm
soapy water. Do not wet any electrical parts.

Troubleshooting
Please note the mattress elevator does not contain any user serviceable
components. Do not disassemble any components. In the event of failure,
refer to your supplier.
In the event the mattress elevator fails to operate, complete the checks listed
below:
1. First ensure the metal framework (mechanism) is not obstructed.
2. Ensure there is power to the mattress elevator; this is indicated by a
green light on the transformer.
3. Check the power cables are all connected properly.
4. If the mattress elevator is overloaded, or usage exceeds 10 % (6 minutes
per hour), the power supply has a built in cut out. This will prevent
further use and protects electrical components. Allow the mattress
elevator 30 minutes to cool down before operating.
5. Check 5 amp plug fuse has not blown.
If, having completed the above checks, the mattress elevator still fails to
operate, please contact Customer Services on 0870 428 6295.
