Setting the Backrest (Mechanically)
9.2 Setting the Backrest (Mechanically)
IMPORTANT! When making adjustments to the hospital bed, please note the safety infor-
mation given in Chapter Bed Adjustment » 16.
Electric adjustment of the backrest, thigh rest and the height of the bed is also possible (de-
pending on the model of bed) (see Electric Actuator System » 58).
The mechanical adjustments are described below. It is possible that certain functions or
special features are described which your bed does not have.
The bed must be immobilised.
The backrest can be operated from either of the long sides of the bed.
Grasp one of the grab handles of the backrest with one hand.
With the other hand, pull the operating lever upwards and grasp the handle to guide the
backrest down to the desired position (upwards / downwards). The backrest is not held in
position until the operating lever is released.
If there is no load on the backrest and it is steeply raised, it must be pressed down by hand
in addition.
