Risk of Injury
The maximum loading capacity at the front end of the patient lifting pole is 75 kg.
The patient lifting pole is not suitable for rehabilitation exercises.
Pay attention to door clearances when moving beds with patient lifting poles or infusion
stands attached.
On the inward-facing side of the headboard, there is an adaptor sleeve on each side of the
bed for attaching a patient lifting pole or infusion stand. An oval or round plastic reducing
adaptor, as the customer requires, can be inserted into one of the adaptor sleeves in order
to hold the patient lifting pole. An oval or round patient lifting pole is then inserted into the
reducing adaptor. A further round reducing adaptor for holding an infusion stand can then
be inserted in turn into the oval or round reducing adaptor.
The patient lifting pole can be supplied in two variants as the customer requires: oval or
round pole. Both variants are described below.
8.5.1 Variants: Oval Pole
To Insert
An oval reducing adaptor is inserted into the round adaptor
sleeve before leaving the factory.
1. Insert the long, straight end of the oval patient lifting pole into
the reducing adaptor .
2. The metal pins on the patient lifting pole must slot into the
notches in the adaptor sleeve and engage.
There are four notches in the reducing adaptor.
This construction allows you to adjust the patient
lifting pole to two positions:
x Patient lifting pole facing the centre of the bed
x Patient lifting pole facing the long side of the bed
To Remove
To remove the patient lifting pole, lift it out of the sleeve
from above.
