Risk of Injury
If the patient lifting pole swings
outside the bed area and a
weight is applied to it there,
there is a danger that the bed
will tip up due to the weight.
Therefore, the metal pin on the
patient lifting pole must always
sit in the notch in the adaptor
sleeve!
The metal pin on the
patient lifting pole must
be located in the notch
in the adaptor sleeve.
This will limit the slew-
ing range of the patient
lifting pole. The patient
lifting pole is now facing
the centre of the bed
and can swing to the
side as far as the re-
striction allows.
