 Ensure that no obstacles such as bedside cabinets, supply rails or chairs could
impede adjustments to the bed.
 If other equipment (e.g. compressors for positioning systems, etc.) is attached,
ensure that all items of equipment are fixed securely and function properly.
Pay particular attention to:
- Safe routing of all loose connector cables, tubing, etc.
- If you have any queries or concerns, consult the manufacturer of the
equipment or Stiegelmeyer.
 If any damage or malfunction is suspected, take the bed out of service:
- Unplug the bed from the mains supply immediately.
- Indicate clearly that the bed is “Out of Order”
- Report this immediately to the operator responsible.
 Route the mains cable, and also all other cables, in such a way
that they cannot be pulled, driven over or damaged by moving
parts when the bed is operated. Hazards due to electric shock
and malfunctions can be avoided in this way.
 Before moving the bed, always make sure that you have
unplugged it from the mains supply. Hang the mains cable in the
mains cable holder to ensure that it will not fall out or trail on the
floor.
 At regular intervals, carry out a visual inspection of the mains
cable to check for mechanical damage (scuffing, exposed wires,
kinks, pressure points, etc.). Such a check should be performed:
- Whenever the cable has been subjected to any mechanical
load, e.g. has been driven over by the bed itself or by an
equipment trolley;
- Whenever the cable has been bent, stretched or violently pulled,
e.g. due to the bed rolling away while it is still plugged into the wall
socket.
- Whenever the bed has been moved or relocated and before
plugging it into the mains supply;
- Regularly, at least once a week, if the bed is in continuous
operation.
 Check the strain relief of the mains cable regularly to ensure that
the screws are tight and secure.
 Make sure that the mattress base has travelled to its lowest position
before leaving the patient unattended. In this way, you greatly
reduce the risk of the patient injuring himself/herself as a result of
falling when getting in or out of bed.
 Always ensure that the castors brakes are applied before leaving
the patient unattended in the bed.
 When not in use, always stow the handset in such a way that it
cannot fall onto the floor (hang it on the hook). Make sure that the
