This product is subject to wear and tear during use. To ensure that it
continues to perform within its original specification, preventive
maintenance procedures should be carried out at the intervals shown.
WARNING
This list indicates the minimum level of preventive
maintenance recommended by the manufacturer. More
frequent inspections should be carried out when the product
is subjected to heavy use or aggressive environments, or
where required by local regulations.
Failure to carry out these checks, or continuing to use the

any maintenance activity. The bed will still operate on battery
power if control buttons are pressed and the function has not
been disabled using the ACP. If required the backup battery
