3.7 Patient lifting pole
WARNING
A bed that is occupied by someone should be moved around only inside the room. Al-
ways avoid moving the bed over long distances along corridors and across thresholds.
The bed must be raised to activate the brake. The mattress base must not be in the low-
est position, however.
•
Before moving the bed around, always ensure that the castor brakes have been released.
This prevents excessive wear of the castor treads and scuffing marks on the floor.
•
Make sure that the cable of the switch mode power supply cannot be stretched, rolled
over or otherwise damaged when moving the bed.
•
Check that all cables, tubes or leads belonging to any accessory devices that are attach-
ed to the bed are safely secured and cannot be damaged.
Brake Move
Lift the brake pedal with your foot. Press the brake pedal down with your foot.
Risk of injury
Failure to heed this warning may result in injury and damage to property due to excessive
loading of the patient lifting pole.
•
The maximum loading capacity at the front end of the patient lifting pole is 75 kg.
