3. Safety guidelines

Disconnect the plug from the mains before moving the bed. The cables must be kept clear off the
floor and the castors during transport.
Make sure that the mains cord cannot be jammed or in any other way damaged, when the bed is
used.
The brakes of the bed must be activated during nursing of a patient in the bed and when the
bed is adjusted.
The main plug must be accessible any time to disconnect the device from mains missing.
We recommend to mount the mains cable on the hook for this purpose, see following picture.
Adjust all mattress support sections to a horizontal position before transporting an assembled bed.
Hold the top of the bed end with both hands while the bed is pushed/pulled.
Caution! Please ensure that the pipe pins are fully inserted through both holes of the tubular
section, and that the spring clip is fully engaged prior to operating the lifting mechanism on the bed.
Furthermore, please ensure that all four plastic bushings are intact and located correctly between
shear arm/base and shear arm/top frame.
NB! Do not pull the clamp part of the pipe pin during dismantling – the clamp may be deformed,
thus being unable to lock properly.
Risk of entrapment of fingers during assembly and operation of the bed end and side rail.
A minimum of 2 persons are required to release a mattress support.
There is a risk of entrapment while operating the side rails.
Position the lifting pole in such a way that the handle extends inwards across the bed. If the handle
has been turned away from the bed while the lifting pole is being used, the bed can tip.
We recommend to mount the mains cable on the hook for this purpose,
see picture below.
