Servicing cycle
As a guideline, we recommend a yearly inspection by our qualified service
engineers.
Please consult our service department; see page 37 for the address.
Damage, defects and wear resulting from improper operation and
after long-term use can not be ruled out.
These deficiencies can cause hazards if they are not recognised and
corrected immediately.
Before carrying out any maintenance work, please bear in mind
that in order to make any adjustments the bed must be connected
to the mains supply. Make sure to disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket when the service works are finished. Also switch
off all the drives using the control panel or blocking box.
If any damage or malfunction is suspected, take the bed out of
service at once until it has been repaired or the damaged
component has been replaced!
