In case of replacement of any individual components, always make sure that
the electric plugs are then properly inserted into the controller. Only in this way
the bed will function properly.
3.2 Operations
Every time before using the bed, the user must make sure that:
·
the wheels of the bed are locked (see also chapter 4.3).
·
the power supply is compatible with the bed (230 Volt, 50 Hertz).
·
the power cable is plugged in and placed in such a way that it cannot be damaged.
·
the power cable, the motor cables and the hand control cable are not damaged by
any moving parts of the nursing bed.
·
there are no obstacles in the way such as bedsides or chairs.
·
all control functions have been accurately inspected (see also chapter 6.1) and are
working properly.
·
only after having carried out the above operations it will be possible to start using the
bed.
3.2.1 Requirements of the installation site
·
Make sure there is enough space to allow the whole range of adjustments of the bed.
There should not be any furniture or other objects close to the bed such as window cills.
·
If the bed is to be used on parquet floor, make sure that the use of wheels will not cause
any discolouring due to the parquet waterproof treatment. It is possible to use the bed
on tiles, carpets, laminated floors and linoleum.
·
A 230 volt power outlet, correctly installed, must be located as near as possible to the
bed.
·
If there is the need to use other accessories (such as compressor systems etc…), make
sure they are correctly fixed and that they work properly. In particular, make sure all
different cables are safely connected. In case of questions or doubts please contact the
manufacturer of such accessories.
During the installation of the bed you must take the following issues into serious
consideration to minimize potential fire hazards due to external influences. Inform
the user and the personnel about these issues!
·
If possible, use only non-flammable mattresses and linens.
·
Don’t smoke while in bed as there is no guarantee against risks caused by smoking tools
(such as lighters, matches) depending on the mattresses and linens used.
·
Use any electric accessories (electric blanket) and appliances (lights, radios) only if they
are in a good condition.
·
Make sure these appliances are used only for their intended purpose and that they
cannot accidentally end up on and under the sheets (risk of overheating).
·
Absolutely avoid using extension cables or connections to multiple sockets under the
bed (fire hazard due to the penetration of liquids).
·
Extension cables and/or power multiple sockets should never be used at all.
