SERVICE LIFE & DISPOSAL
The service life of our care beds in domestic use is assumed to be approximately
5 years. This naturally depends upon the manner of use. The carebed is suitable
for reuse if all measures of section 6.3 and 10 are taken. Frequent transportation,
setting up and adjustment reduce the service life, as do improper treatment,
irregular servicing and exceeding the safe working load or the admissible load
cycle of the electric motors. The care bed must not be disposed of as normal
household waste after the end of its service life. To ensure that it is disposed of in
an environmentally compatible way please contact Harvest Healthcare Ltd.
