5) The bed may only be operated by persons who can guarantee correct hand-
ling because of their training or knowledge and practical experience.
6) Before operating the bed, the person doing this must be satisfied with the
functional safety and the proper condition of the bed.
7) The bed must be subject to a function test, possibly daily or with each
change of shift, so that it is guaranteed that the bed can be used as
intended without danger for the patient or the operator.
8) Do not repair and reuse lifting poles that have become distorted, but
replace them.
9) The bed may only be moved on level and firm floor covering.
10) If the bed is occupied the castors must always be in braked position –
otherwise there is a risk of the patient falling when getting in or out, since
he may support himself on the bed-.
11) The height of the patient surface must be adjusted to the size of the
patient to avoid the risk of a fall.
12) When operating the mechanical emergency lowering of the backrest,
(optional) this must always be fixed to the mattress restricting bar or
lifting pole to avoid a sudden lowering.
13) When moving the bed to different positions, it must be ensured that no
children, body parts or other objects are in the adjustment area.
14) Adjustments to the side sections (side rails) may only be made by nursing
staff. When adjusting the patient surface positions, nursing staff must be
satisfied that the patient will not come into contact with the side rails, to
avoid entrapment of hands, legs or other body parts.
15) Extreme leaning out sideways of the upper body must be avoided.
16) Do not alone the side rails more than 75 kg in a vertical direction and
more than 50 kg in a horizontal direction.

the handset must be locked or released via a control box. The effective-
ness of the locking functions must be tested with the handset.
