4.3 FOLD DOWN SIDE RAILS (OPTIONAL)
Bed rails (optional) are easily fitted by clamping to the bed frame. When
fitted correctly, AC Series bed rails meet the requirements of Medical
equipment international standard IEC 60601-2-52, which includes specific rail
requirements.
4.3.1 Fitting the Side Rails
NOTE: The rails are a left and right hand set and when fitted correctly fold
down towards the foot end of the bed.
1. Before fitting the rails unscrew the hand wheel to bring the locking clamp
into an open neutral position which will allow the rail to fit over the side rail
of the bed.
Closed Position
Open Position
2. With both hand wheels now unscrewed, lift the rail into position. It is
important that the rails are fitted to a specific position on the bed, which
is indicated by the disc on the top of the side rail. Position the rail over the
disc and tighten the hand wheel to the closed position.
