Using the Linen Holder (Optional)
8.3 Using the Linen Holder (Optional)
Hospital beds can be supplied with a linen holder at the foot end of the bed that can be drawn out
to provide a hygienic surface to lay bedding on. Depending on the model of bed, the locking box is
also located in the linen holder.
Avoid damaging the linen holder
The maximum load-bearing capacity of the linen holder is 15 kg.
Do not sit on the linen holder!
Pull the linen holder out from under the mattress base with a slight jerk.
A gallery rail is attached to the linen holder.
If necessary, raise the gallery rail to an
upright position. This helps to hold the bed-
ding in place.
Risk of Injury
The extended linen holder can easily become a tripping hazard.
Always slide the linen holder back into place immediately after use.
