If the side rails are to be brought into the upper position as protection against falling
out, grasp the upper side guard rail in the middle of the gripping groove and pull the side
rail upwards until it audibly engages at both ends. The side rail is now in a pulled-up po-
sition.
The side rails first and foremost serve as a fall prevention. In the case of very emaciated
persons in need of care, this protection is no longer sufficiently provided by the side rails
and additional protective measures must be taken, e.g. by adding a push-fit side rail pad-
ding (accessory).
The distances of the continuous side rails must be less than 12 cm. When using the con-
tinuous side rails, they may not remain in a diagonal position.
Hazard note from Bock
Use only original Bock side rails, which are available as accessories for every nursing care beds.
Use only technically flawless and non-damaged side rails with the permissible gap dimensions.
Make sure that the side rails are engaged securely.
Before installation of the side rail and each new use, inspect all mechanical parts on the bed
frame, and all parts of the side rails, and all parts which secure the side rails, for any possible
damages.
The operation of the side rail should be done with great care. Fingers can be quickly pinched
between the longitudinal pieces.
