▪
Turn each motor roll so the Velcro tape appears on the top side of the roll.
•
Place the turning sheet in the middle of the bed with the Velcro tapes on each
side of the sheet along the rolls. REMEMBER to place the sheet with its bottom
side downwards so its Velcro tapes also turn downwards.
•
Starting with the upper sheet corner, attach the Velcro tape to the roll in one
sliding movement while your hand straightens the sheet all the way down to the
bottom end. The sheet must turn across the top side of the roller, to ensure a
correct direction of the sheet when you operate the rolls. A wrong placement may
cause the patient’s arms, fingers or others to be
trapped between the sheet and
the roll. The control only provides a low power to the motors in the tightening
direction and they will stop in case there is any overload in this direction.

Reeling in of turning sheet
RECOMMENDATION: If possible, keep the sheet’s
dark stitching in the middle of
the mattress. This ensures the same amount of sheet on both sides.
👉
Attention: If the turning sheet is worn or damaged it should be replaced.
