7. Installation and Set-Up
7.1 Setting up mattress
For the comfort and safety of the patient do not put them onto the mattress until you are sure that the
mattress is properly secured and the system indicates that it is fully inflated. The mattress is designed
to completely replace any existing mattress which may be in use on a bed.
Remove any existing mattress and ensure that there are no protruding parts or sharp objects on the
bed which could cause damage to the mattress. Lay the mattress on the bed patient surface ensuring
that the air pipe connector is situated on the bottom left hand side of the bed foot end (as viewed from
the foot of the bed).
Check the Yellow Turn Valves and make sure they are positioned in the non-turn mode.
There are security straps fitted to the base cover of the mattress which should be fastened loosely to
convenient points on the bedframe patient surface.
Caution: Ensure when fixing the mattress to the bed the security straps are only
fitted to the moving parts of the mattress platform. Straps secured to the fixed parts
of the mattress platform will damage the bed/mattress when operated.
7.2 Setting up power unit
Whilst holding the power unit, unfold the hanging hooks on the rear of the power unit and hang it from
the beds footboard. If required the power unit can be placed on the floor at the foot of the bed.
Caution: Ensure that the power cable is routed in such a manner so that it cannot
be twisted, trapped, crushed or stressed.
