Service Interval
As a guideline, we recommend that annual maintenance is carried out by our
qualified service engineers.
Please consult our service centre; see page 61 for the address.
Damage, defects and wear resulting from improper operation and
after long-term use cannot be ruled out.
These deficiencies can cause hazards if they are not recognised and
corrected immediately.
Before carrying out any maintenance work, please bear in mind
that, in order to make any adjustments, the bed must be
connected to the mains supply. Remember to disconnect the
mains plug from the mains socket when maintenance work is
finished. Also, switch off all the drives using the control box or
locking box.
If any damage or malfunction is suspected, take the bed out of
service at once until it has been repaired or the damaged
component has been replaced!
