To raise the side rails to the upper position for protection against falls, hold the upper side
rail in the centre of the groove and pull the side rail up until you hear it click into position
at both ends. The side rail is now in its raised position.
The primary purpose of the side rails is to protect the patient from falling out. For ex-
tremely emaciated patients, the side rails no longer offer adequate fall protection, and
additional protective measures must be taken, e.g. by placing additional fitted side-rail
padding (product accessory) in the bed.
The gap between the continuous side rails must be no larger than 12 cm. The side rails
must not be left in a diagonal position during use.
Bock Safety Note
Use only original Bock side rails, which are available as product accessories for each type of
nursing care bed.
Use only side rails that are undamaged and free of technical defects, and ensure that the gap
between rails is always within the permissible range.
Ensure that the side rails click securely into position.
Before placing the side rails and before each new use, check for damage on all mechanical
parts on the bed frame and the side rails that serve to hold the side rails in place.
Always operate the side rails with great care, as fingers can easily be pinched between the
rails.

justing the position of the back and thigh rests.
