WARNING
3.6 Triangular Grab Handle
3.6.1 Service Life
Part C: Image2:
Slewing range of patient lifting pole
Risk of injury
Failure to heed this warning may result in injury and damage to property due to the bed tip-
ping up.
•
Only swivel the patient lifting pole within the slewing range of the bed [A].
•
The metal pin of the patient lifting pole must therefore always sit in the adapter sleeve
notch!
Otherwise, there is a danger that the bed will tip up when weight is applied to the pole.
A triangular grab handle can be attached to the lifting pole. The resident can use this grab
handle to sit up and readjust his/her position more easily. Check the grab handle and belt
regularly for damage (see Part C: Maintenance » 33). Replace damaged grab handles or
belts immediately.
A date is printed on the grab handle. In normal use, the grab handle has a service life of at
least five years. After this period, a visual and functional inspection must be carried out every
six months to determine whether the handle may continue to be used.
