8. Adjustment of leg section (only on 3-sectioned beds)
Adjustment of leg section
Operate the leg section by lifting the mattress handle.
Up:
Lift the mattress handle on the leg section.
Down:
Lift the mattress handle on the leg section right up and then lower
the leg section.
If a mattress support extension is used, lift the leg section.
Always
leave the bed in the lowest position. Otherwise there is a risk of entrapment due
to accidental lowering of the mattress support. A person under the bed can be seriously injured
during height adjustments.
There is a risk of entrapment between the thigh section and the mattress support when the
thigh section is lowered.
There is a risk of entrapment between the backrest and the cross rail on the head end of
the mattress support. There is also a risk of getting squeezed between the leg section and the
cross rail on the foot end of the mattress support when the backrest/leg section is lowered.
If the bed is equipped with tilt function, please note that the bed must not be used without the
supervision of the nursing staff.
Brakes
(Illustration 4)
Each of the bed’s 4 wheels is provided with brakes for both lengthwise and crosswise locking.
The brake is foot-operated.
Set-off from the castors might under special conditions appear at different types of absorbing floor covering -
including untreated or badly treated floors. In matters of doubt, does Invacare recommended to place a
suitable kind of protection between the castors and the floor.
