5.2 Bed Extension
The integral bed extension is easily extended to add an extra 195mm of length to the mattress
platform.
Extending the Bed Extension from the Closed Position
1. The bed extension is locked in the closed and fully open positions by two threaded hand wheels
located towards the foot end of the bed on either side of the bed platform. To extend the bed,
unscrew the handwheels (both sides of the bed) anti clockwise until approximately 20mm of
thread is showing. Pull the foot panel towards you using two hands evenly spaced on the panel.
Pull the panel to its full extension and then screw the threaded handwheel back to a closed
position.
2. The same procedure in reverse is used to close the extension back to the standard bed
position.
Always ensure that the panel is locked correctly before use of the bed.
WARNING
The bed extension is designed for use as a bed extension only and is not meant to be sat
on. The extra length of the bed with extra load can also make the bed unstable, potentially
resulting in injury to the user and patient.
