Using the DreamMaster Light
The DreamMaster Light has been designed to allow easy use for clients or carers.
§
To go up press the “up” button on the hand control until the desired angle is reached.
§
To go down press the “down” button until the user is comfortable or until the required angle is
reached.
§
The actuator will switch off automatically when the maximum angle is achieved.
§
The DreamMaster Light Hand Control has a locking switch. This may be used to ensure the unit is
not used inappropriately.
§
The Side Rails are designed to assist the user to reposition themselves on the bed, or for support
during sit-to-stand transfers and should not support the full body weight of the user. The bed should
support most of the user’s body weight when the Rail is used as a repositioning device, or through
their feet during a sit-to-stand transfer.
Care of the DreamMaster Light
§
Check periodically that the securing straps are tight and in place.
§
Visually check the frame, power supply, and hand control for wear or damage.
§
Clean with non-abrasive cleaner or disinfectant, for example Isopropyl alcohol at 70% concentration.
§
Do not allow moisture to come into contact with any electrical parts.

Emergency Lowering
§
The DreamMaster Light is normally operated by mains power. The unit has the functionality to use a
standby power source in the event of power failure to enable it to be lowered in an emergency. The
standby power will not raise the unit. If you wish to use the standby function, two PP3 9 volt alkaline
batteries may be attached to the appropriate connections in the transformer box. Remove the cover
and insert.
§
The batteries must be checked on a regular basis (especially when used) and replaced when
necessary and no longer than every 12 months to avoid possible damage to the power unit.
§
The batteries should be tested every month by raising the DreamMaster to about half way, turning off
the mains and operating the down button for 1-2 seconds and checking that the elevator goes down.
§
The DreamMaster will not elevate on the standby power supply.
