GENERAL
1
Examine all the warning signs on the bed, examine the bed for obvious signs of
damage. All aspects of the equipment should operate as intended. Check that all nuts,
bolts and other fasteners are tight and are not missing.
2
Examine flexible cables and conduits for cuts, cracks, abrasions, or other deterioration.

Check that the power supply plug is not damaged. If either the power cable, or plug is
damaged then both the cable and plug must be replaced as a complete assembly by
Arjo, or an approved service agent.
CASTOR BRAKING/LOCKING SYSTEM
1
Apply the brakes and push the bed forwards. If any of the four braking castors rotate
the brake is not fully effective.
SIDE RAILS (if fitted)
1
•
The locking pin mechanism and striker plate arrangement should be checked
every three months.
•
Inspect the side rails for general wear and tear on fittings and pivot joints every
six months.
•
Check for rust, structural integrity of welds and paint finish every twelve
months.
2
Raise the side rail to the upright position until the locking mechanism clicks into place.
Check that the there is no yellow shaft visible. In the locked position, the yellow on the
locking pin shaft should not be visible from above. Refer to the operating procedures on
page 12 of this manual for further information.

contact Arjo for service advice.

axles would be required, but in the case that it is, ensure that the nut is not over
tightened during the tightening procedure.
