21. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
The nursing home beds of Wissner-Bosserhoff GmbH are generally designed for a use-
ful life of 10-15 years. The beds here are extremely low in maintenance. This is because
attention was paid during the development of the products to ensure that maintenance
work was reduced to a minimum, with low operating costs.
In daily use, however, experience shows that there is also careless handling of products,
and rough handling can also contribute to them ageing quicker and to the wear of cer-
tain components, on which the manufacturer can have no direct influence.
For this reason, routine servicing examinations should be performed by the operator –
also to guarantee the availability of beds, which is in his own interest.
The Technical Customer Service of Wissner-Bosserhoff offers servicing and necessary
training covering all aspects of the product. Wissner-Bosserhoff certainly places gre-
at emphasis on training for customers, since only trained operators and maintenance
technicians can ensure proper handling and use of the beds.
Maintenance should be performed exclusively by competent specialists who have been
trained for the product by Wissner-Bosserhoff.
