The bed is equipped with four lockable castors and central locking at the foot
end. A steering lock can be activated for one castor at the foot end of the bed,
which makes it easier to move the bed in a straight line and to manoeuvre the
bed.
As a general rule, always apply the brakes when the bed is not being
moved or when a patient is left unattended in the bed.
Each time before moving the bed, ensure that:
-
The mains cable cannot be stretched, driven over or damaged in any
other way.
-
The mains cable has been hung in the mains cable holder (see Chapter
4.4.6).
-
The mains cable does not trail on the floor.
-
The cables, tubes or wires of any attached equipment are adequately
secured and cannot be damaged.
Otherwise, the mains cable could sustain damage as a result of being
torn off, crushed or driven over. Such damage could lead to electrical
hazards and malfunctions.
When the bed is moved, ensure that objects hanging in the sliding rails
[10]
do not cause any damage (e.g. to door frames).
Risk of crushing! When transporting a patient, ensure that the patient
hands and feet do not protrude over the edge of the bed and that they
cannot get in the way of the wall deflection rollers.
Braking
Press down on a foot lever
[9]
.
Check to ensure that the bed is
properly braked.
Moving without the steering lock
Foot lever

in horizontal middle position.
Moving with the steering lock
Raise a foot lever
[9]
with the back
of the foot.
If you push the bed from the foot end now,
it will be easier to steer.
Brake alarm (optional feature)
A continuous acoustic signal sounds (for up to 5 minutes) if the castor brake is
released
and
the mains cable is plugged in.
Advantage: Prevents damage to mains cables and sockets
Prevents endangering patients due to the bed rolling away.
