7.6.3 Emergency lowering of the backrest (manual)
If the backrest must be lowered in less than 30 seconds in the event of a power failure or if the
electric drive system of the VitalFlex Elite has failed, you can lower the backrest manually.
Observe these safety and implementation instructions, as non-compliance can lead to uncontrolled falls
from the backrest and thus to serious injuries for the user and the patient!
Always carry out the emergency lowering of the backrest by hand with two users!
Manual emergency lowering may only be carried out by instructed users and should be practiced several
times under normal conditions to be able to lower the backrest safely in an emergency.
Execution of mechanical emergency lowering
• The first user relieves the backrest before the emergency lowering by lifting the frame and
holding it in this position. If necessary, the second user supports this process.
•
The second user folds the bent safety clip of the pin at the end of the backrest lift motor.
• Then he pulls the locking pin out of the lifting rod. The lift motor is now separated from the
backrest and swivels downwards.
• Both users lower the backrest slowly and in a controlled manner.
Restoration of the original condition
• Swivel the lift rod of the lift motor up again in the direction of the backrest.
• Insert the locking pin into the mounting of the lifting rod and the bed frame.
• Make sure to reinsert the socket pin from the operator side so that it is always accessible.
• Close the safety clip on the locking pin.
