Fitting the side rails
1. Unscrew the small thumb turn screw at the bottom of each runner.
2. Slide the top of each end of the side rails into the channels on both ends of the bed until the bottom is above the thumb
turn and tighten to prevent the side rails from falling out of the bottom of the channel.
Lowering and Raising
3. To raise the rails, simply lift the rails in the runners on both sides of the bed past the black locking pin until it clicks.
4. To lower the rails, pull out the black locking pin to release the side rails and lower them down on both ends of the bed.
You may need to lift slightly before pulling out the pin.

The main control box comes already attached to the
knee break actuator with all the cables for the
actuators and the handset connected.
The knee break actuator should be mounted under
the bed frame so that the motor end (the end where
the cables connects to the actuator) is towards the
centre of the bed and the extending ram of the
actuator is connected to the moving knee break
section of the mattress platform.
In order to insert the securing pin into the end of the
extending ram you need to manually lift the knee
break and pull out the ram so that it is away from the
control box it is attached to, allowing you to insert the
locking pin. Please see image to the left.
The backrest actuator should then be mounted under the bed frame again so that the
motor end is towards the centre of the bed and the extending ram is connected to the
moving back rest section of the mattress platform.
Ensure all mounting pins are fully inserted through the bed frame mounting points on both
sides of the actuator and the spring loaded locking loops are in the closed position.
All the cables should be already attached to the control box and numbered 1 – 4 with a
tag on the opposite end where they connect into each actuator. The number inside the
control box (re circles above) should correspond with the same number on the other end
of each cable.
Number 1 cable should be connected into the backrest actuator.
Number 2 cable should be connected into Hi-Lo actuator at the foot end of the bed.
Number 3 cable should be connected into the backrest actuator.
Number 4 cable should be connected into the Hi-Lo actuator at the head end of the bed.
Pay attention to position the back and foot rest actuators correctly! They should
never be inverted.
Special safety rules for the bed rails.
The bed rails are there to protect patients from possible accidental falls from the bed. However, they
cannot prevent the patient from voluntarily leaving the bed. To make the best use of their intended
protection function, please observe the following precautions:
Use only undamaged bed rails and in good conditions positioned at the right distance to allow the rails to snap into
place properly.
• Make sure to use only the Apollo original bed rails supplied with the bed.
• When using a bed with bed rails you must always verify if they are suitable for each individual patient. In particular,
it is necessary to pay attention to the distance between the bars in relation to the patients’ body build. If they are
very skinny and thin it could be necessary to use some padding or pads around the bed rails (optional). Only in this
way will it be safe to use the bed without the risk of the patient to be caught or to slide out of the bed rails.
• The mechanical elements which attach the bed and the rails should be checked regularly to make sure there are no
signs of damage. This must be done not only before applying the bed rails, but also during use within short intervals
(at least before any new use).
• When applying the bed rails to the electric bed always make sure to block the backrest and leg supports with
the hand control to protect the patient from any accidental electric movements (risk of involuntarily crushing the
patient’s limbs).
Failure to comply with the above safety rules will lead to the possible risks of the patient getting caught in the bed rails,
falling out of the bed if the bed rails are too wide due to possible damages, in case they are not the correct bed rails for
the electric bed or if they have not been mounted and inserted correctly.

4.7 Barrières latérales de lit
Si vous souhaitez avoir des barrières latérales, alors vous devrez installer de chaque côté (en
option) les rails à la tête et au pied du lit. Ceux-ci peuvent rester en place, mais les longerons
eux-mêmes doivent être retirés avant de replier le lit.
Montage des glissières
1. Retirez les capuchons en plastique noir et vert du haut de chaque côté de la tête et du repose-
pieds.
2. Retirez le boulon de la clé Allen de la plaque de montage adjacente au sommier du matelas de
chaque côté de la tête et de pieds.
3. Insérez les glissières dans la partie supérieure de la tête et des pieds et fixez-les avec les vis à
tête hexagonale en haut et en bas.

Les barrières latérales
1. Dévissez la petite vis du pouce située au bas de chaque glissière.
2. Faites glisser le haut de chaque extrémité des barrières latérales dans les rainures situées aux
deux extrémités du lit jusqu'à ce que le fond dépasse le pouce et serrez-les pour éviter que les
barrières latérales ne tombent du bas du chenal.
