OPERATION OF THE BED
IMPORTANT. Do not operate or use a bed that appears to be damaged or is not
functioning correctly. Contact your service personnel for technical advice.
Before operating controls, ensure no people (especially children) or pets are
near the mechanism or under the bed.
Check that the power supply cord is clear of the mechanism and wheels at all times.
TO OPERATE THE BED USE THE CONTROL PANEL LOCATED AT THE FOOT END TOWER
OF THE BED OR USE HAND SET CONTROL.
To Control the Bed using the
Control Panel

indicator arrow above or below the required function. Only press one button at a time.
The
Hand Control

light and a ‘Fault’ indicator light. The bed will only operate when the Power-On indicator light is
glowing.

BEFORE USING THE TILT FUNCTION, ENSURE THAT THE TOWERS HAVE CLEARANCE
FROM THE WALL OR OBJECTS BY AT LEAST 400mm and that BOTH CASTORS AT ONE
END OF THE BED ARE UNLOCKED. GENERALLY THE TWO CASTORS NEAREST THE WALL
ARE THE TWO WHICH REMAIN LOCKED. Relock the castors once the bed is in it’s desired
tilted position.
Warning:
Do not operate the bed more than 6 times per hour as this can cause
premature failure to the electrics. The bed should be left in its lowest position when
unattended in order to reduce the risk of patient injury due to falls whilst lying
on the bed.
* Bed electrical componets have a maximum Duty Cycle: amount of time they can be
used in a period. Typically 2 minutes ON, 18 minutes OFF - Exceeding this will cause
damage and void warranty.
