1.
The instruction manual must be read and observed before
using the care bed.
2.
It is vital to observe the information given on the rating plate! The
information given on the rating plate is explained in detail on
P. 13
of this instruction manual.
3.
In the event of any faults or defects that could endanger per-
sons, the bed must not be used.
4.
Electrically-adjustable care beds must only be operated by
the occupant after instruction by trained staff.
5.
Before the bed is used for the first time, the operator must be
satisfied that it is safe to use and in good condition.
6.
The castors must always be placed in the braked position to
ensure the occupant does not fall when getting into or out
of the bed.
7.
The bed can be moved into various positions. When doing
so, take care to ensure no parts of the body or other objects
are located in the adjustment area.
8.
Only care staff may adjust the side rails. When adjusting the
position of the reclining surface, care should be taken to en-
sure the occupant does not come into contact with the side
rails in order to avoid trapping any part of the body.
9.
The functionality of the side rails must be checked every day.
They must not bear any load of over 75 kg vertically or over
50 kg horizontally.
10. When using CPR (optional, mechanical emergency lowering
of the back rest), always additionally relieve the load on the
back rest by hand to prevent the back rest dropping in an
uncontrolled manner.
11. The Aura care bed features a battery-operated emergency
mode. This allows the one-off lowering of the reclining sur-
face in the event of a power cut. The 9-V batteries in the con-
trol unit must be checked during the annual safety inspection
and replaced at least every two years.
12. The hand controller functions can be locked or released on
the rear side using the key switch. Check that the locking
function has taken effect on the hand controller.

13. The drive system used must be operated using a VDE-ap-
proved power source – 220 V, 50/60 Hz mains socket.
14. In addition, the mains cable is protected by a mechanical
strain relief. Nevertheless, take care to ensure that no sharp
edges, mechanical stresses or pinch/shear points are pres-
ent.
15. The design of the hand controller means it can be hung on
the bed in such a way that the buttons are not activated in-
advertently by squashing between two objects. Take care to
ensure that the hand controller is fully accessible and not
trapped between the side rail and bedside table.
16. Observe safety distances to walls, window ledges and other
furnishings when using the care bed in an occupant’s room.
The safety distances depend on the design and model of the
