positions
If the yellow band is visible when the Safety Sides are in a raised and “locked” position,
contact ArjoHuntleigh for service advice. See the Warranty and Service section.
Inspect Safety Sides for wear and tear on fittings including pivot joints and clamp brackets
every six months. The locking pin mechanism and striker plate should be inspected every
three months. Check for rust, structural integrity of welds and paint finish every twelve
months.
HANDSET Checks
Between each patient, ArjoHuntleigh strongly advises that the Handset is visually inspected
for obvious damage before each use if practicable and that Preventative maintenance
checks are conducted on the handset. When using a specific function staff should be aware
of, and checking for, any of the symptoms listed in point 3 below.
Preventative Maintenance Checks
ArjoHuntleigh recommends that the full check and testing regime is conducted between
each bed use or worst case during annual Preventative Maintenance. This should take no
more than one (1) minute to complete.
1. Visual inspection of handset casing
1.1 Inspect the outer plastic casing for any obvious cracks or damage.
1.2 Inspect for damage to the front cover (outer label) particularly over the buttons where
the label may be torn or indented.
