3 Initial service
No electrical measurements are necessary prior to putting this bed into service for
the first time, since the bed was tested by the manufacturer for electrical safety
and functionality and left our factory in perfect condition.
Before putting the bed into service for the first time:
 Remove all transport securing devices and packaging film.
 Clean and disinfect the hospital bed (see Chapter 5).

Use only authorised accessories (e.g. mattresses, external safety sides), to
minimize endangering patients through becoming trapped or falling out of
bed. For more details, see Chapter 4.6.1 and Chapter 8.
 Remove the locking key at the handset cable (release
transport securing device) and put the locking key out of the
range of patients or other parties (such as key ring users /
carers; see also chapter. 4.2.2).
Each time before putting the bed into service, the user must check that:
- The bed has been cleaned and disinfected;
- The castor brakes are applied (see Chapter 4.1);
- No obstacles such as bedside lockers, supply rails or chairs will impede bed
adjustments;
- All adjustment facilities work properly and have been checked (see Chapter
3.1).
Additionally for electrical beds only:
- the power supply is compatible with the bed (230 Volt AC, 50/60 Hz);
- the mains cable is connected and routed in such a way that it cannot be
damaged;
- the mains cable, drive cables and handset cable cannot be damaged by
moving parts of the bed;
- if the bed is equipped with rechargeable batteries, it is always connected to
the mains supply. - Otherwise the batteries will not charge and be
unavailable for use in an emergency.
The bed may be put into operation only after carrying out these checks!
