5 Servicing
5.1 General servicing information
IMPORTANT!
– The mattress support must be supported
during service inspections, to prevent
accidental lowering.
– Only personnel who have received the
necessary instructions or training may
perform service and maintenance of the bed.
– After reconditioning the bed, or if bed
functions change, service must be carried out
according to the check list.
A service contract can be made in the countries, where
Invacare has its own sales company. In certain countries
Invacare offers courses in service and maintenance of the
bed. Spare parts lists and additional user manuals are
available from Invacare.
Before Use

Check, by raising and lowering the bed, that the shear
arms run smoothly in the guideways.
After three months

Every year
•
We recommend a safety test comprising the actuators’
performance and mechanical state.
