Risk of injury
• Efficient and safe operation combined with maximum protection of
patients can only be guaranteed if original Stiegelmeyer accessories
are used which are designed for the relevant model of bed.
• In addition to the information given in this instruction manual, please
also refer in this respect to the separate special instruction manuals
supplied with certain accessories
• Make sure that the arrangement of accessories does not produce any
crush or shearing zones for the resident when the backrest and leg
rest are adjusted. If this cannot be guaranteed, the user must safely
prevent the resident from adjusting the backrest and leg rests.
Place the handset out of reach (e.g. at the foot end of the bed) or lock the
handset adjustment options.
Preventing damage to property
In order to minimise any potential damage to property, please read and
refer to the following general information on selecting and attaching
accessories:
• Attach accessories only while these are required and only at the
positions intended for them in such a way as to avoid damaging the
surfaces of the bed and accessories.
• Avoid chafing, for example, or the unprotected attachment of metal
clamps to coated or varnished surfaces.
• Please note when moving the bed that attached accessories may
extend beyond the height, width or length of the bed and so may
collide more easily with door frames, corners of walls and other
obstructions
• In the case of very long accessories such as patient lifting poles,
infusion poles, extensions, mobilisation aids etc., avoid applying high
lateral forces to these, such as by manoeuvring the bed using the
infusion pole. Otherwise, the fixing points could be overloaded.
