8. BED ASSEMBLY AND PREPARING FOR USE
8.1 Removal from the Transport Stand
• Clear the area intended for the bed of any obstructions
and ensure the surface is level.
• Apply the brakes to the castors.
• Remove the clevis pin, ‘R’ clip and plastic spacer that
secure each transport stand to the backrest section
(8.1.1). These parts will be required when assembling
the bed sections together. Lift the backrest section
off the transport stands and carefully place it flat on
the floor.
• Loosen the hand wheels on the leg section that secure
it to the transport stands (8.1.2). Lift this section off
the transport stands and carefully place it flat on the
floor.
• Lift the locking collars slightly and rotate inwards
on one of the bed ends so that they are both in the
unlocked position (8.1.3). Refer to the warning label
on each collar to identify the unlocked position.
• Carefully lift the end of the transport stands away
from the unlocked bed end and place carefully against
a wall or on the floor. If placing against a wall ensure
the castor brakes are applied.
Note: when the transport stands are lifted
away neither bed end will be supported.
• Rotate the locking collars inwards on the remaining
bed end so that they are in the unlocked position.
• Carefully lift the ends of the transport stand away
from this bed end. The bed has now been separated
into its constituent parts.
No tools are necessary for the assembly of the bed. The assembly procedure is as
follows:
8.1.1 Clevis pin, spacer, and ‘R’ clip
removal
8.1.2 Hand wheel
Warning
8.1.3 Locking collar in unlocked

• Before attempting to assemble the bed ensure these instructions have been read and fully
understood.
• Only qualified personnel are to assemble and prepare the bed for use, if in doubt contact
Sidhil Ltd or your local distributor.
• Ensure a risk assessment in line with local health and safety policy is undertaken to ensure
that staff are not put at risk when performing assembly activities.
• Take care when disassembling the bed from the transport stand, the sections are of
considerable weight.
