The Opera Classic Bed 8" Extension Platform is an accessory designed to extend the length of Opera Classic Profiling Beds by 200mm (8 inches), catering to taller users. This extension platform is specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly with Opera Classic Profiling beds, ensuring compatibility and proper function. The manufacturer, Opera, emphasizes that the extension platform should only be used with the specified bed model to avoid potential hazards, injury, or damage, for which Opera will not be held liable if used incorrectly or with a different bed. Any incidents or issues encountered with the product should be reported directly to Opera's support team at support@operabeds.com.

Installation and Commissioning:

The installation process for the Opera Classic Bed 8" Extension Platform is designed to be straightforward but requires careful attention to detail and adherence to safety guidelines. The manufacturer strongly recommends that two people undertake the installation to prevent injury, advising observance of general manual handling guidelines.

Tools Required:

3mm Allen Key
Cross head screwdriver

Installation Steps:

Remove the Footboard:
- Disconnect Actuator: To prevent damage, the footboard actuator must first be disconnected from the control box. This involves pulling up the backrest platform, loosening the screws, and removing the socket cover to access the actuator connection.
- Remove Side Rails: The side rails need to be detached by loosening their screws with an Allen key. Once loosened, the side rails can be removed and laid on the floor.
- Detach Footboard: The footboard is secured by black thumb screws. These screws need to be pulled and twisted into the unlocked position. After unlocking, the footboard can be detached by pulling the lower bed platform upwards and setting the footboard aside.
Attach the Extension Platform:
- The extension platform is designed to be attached to the leg rest platform. This is achieved by pulling the leg rest platform upwards and carefully placing it onto the extension platform.
- Once in position, the extension platform is secured by tightening the black thumb screws located on both sides of the bed.
Attach the Footboard:
- The footboard is reattached to the end of the mattress leg rest platform. This involves lifting the bed platform and aligning it with the footboard brackets.
- After alignment, the black thumb screws are twisted into the locked position to secure the footboard.
- Reconnect Actuator and Side Rails: The actuator cable is then plugged back into the control box. Finally, the side rails are reattached, and their screws are tightened.
- Safety Check: A crucial safety step is to ensure that all thumb screws are correctly in place and in their locked position before the bed is used.

Usage Features:

The primary usage feature of the Opera Classic Bed 8" Extension Platform is to provide an extended sleeping surface for taller individuals using the Opera Classic Profiling Bed. By adding 200mm (8 inches) to the bed's length, it enhances comfort and suitability for users who might otherwise find the standard bed length restrictive. The design ensures that the profiling functions of the bed remain fully operational after the extension is installed, allowing users to continue benefiting from adjustable backrest, leg rest, and height settings.

Maintenance Features:

While the manual does not explicitly detail specific maintenance features for the extension platform itself, general maintenance for the Opera Classic Profiling Bed would apply. This typically includes regular cleaning of the bed frame and components, checking for any loose screws or connections, and ensuring that all moving parts operate smoothly. Given the nature of the extension platform, it is likely to require similar checks to ensure the thumb screws remain tight and the platform is securely integrated with the main bed frame. Any signs of wear or damage should be addressed promptly to maintain safety and functionality. The robust construction of the platform, as implied by the installation process, suggests it is designed for durability within its intended use.

Important Considerations:

Safety First: The emphasis on a two-person installation and the final safety check for thumb screws highlights the importance of safety during and after installation.
Compatibility: The strict recommendation to use the platform only with Opera Classic Profiling beds underscores the importance of compatibility for both safety and performance.
Reporting Issues: The provision of contact information for reporting incidents or issues indicates the manufacturer's commitment to product support and continuous improvement.

In summary, the Opera Classic Bed 8" Extension Platform is a practical and essential accessory for taller users of the Opera Classic Profiling Bed, designed to enhance comfort through increased bed length while maintaining the full functionality and safety standards of the original bed. Its installation is straightforward, provided the instructions are followed carefully, and safety precautions are observed.
