SAFET Y INSTRUCTIONS
It is important that the following safety instructions are ob-
served to prevent risks to residents and carers and to avoid
any damage to the bed:
The instruction manual must be read and observed before
using the care bed.
It is vital to observe the information given on the rating
plate! The information on the rating plate is explained in
detail on  p. 16 of this instruction manual.
In the event of any faults or defects that could endanger
persons, the bed must not be used.
Electrically adjustable care beds must only be operated by
the resident after instruction by trained staff .
Before the bed is used for the fi rst time, the operator must
ensure that it is safe to use and in good condition.
The castors must always be set to the braked position to
ensure the resident does not fall when getting into or out of
the bed.
The bed can be moved into various positions. When doing
so, take care to ensure no parts of the body or other ob-
jects are located in the adjustment area.
Only care staff are permitted to adjust the side rails. When
adjusting the position of the sleeping surface, take care to
ensure the resident does not come into contact with the
side rails to avoid trapping any part of the body.
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.
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 from dropping in
an uncontrolled manner.
The IMPULSE care bed features a battery-operated emer-
gency mode. This allows the one-off lowering of the sleep-
ing surface in the event of a power cut. The 9-V batteries in
the control unit must be checked during the annual safety
inspection and replaced at least every two years.
The hand controller functions can be locked or released
on the rear side using the key switch. Check that the
locking function has taken eff ect on the hand controller.

The drive system used must be – operated using a VDE-ap-
proved power source – 100 -240 V, 50 / 60 Hz mains socket.
The mains connection cable is also protected by a mechani-
cal strain relief device. Nevertheless, take care to ensure that
no sharp edges, mechanical stresses or pinch / shear points
are present.
The design of the hand controller means it can be hung on
the bed in such a way that the buttons are not activated
inadvertently 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.
