Danger of death due to electric shock!
• If a damaged cable continues to be used, this can lead to electric
shock, fire and other hazards as well as malfunctions.
• A damaged cable must be replaced immediately.
• Ensure that the operator instructs you in the safe operation of this bed.
• Each time before using the bed, check that it is in perfect working
order to prevent unnecessary hazards for the resident and delays to
work procedures (see also chapter 3.1).
• Adjust the mattress base to its lowest position before leaving the
resident unattended. In this way, you considerably reduce the risk of
injury to the resident due to a fall when getting in or out of bed.
• To safeguard the resident against unintentional motorised
adjustments, place the handset out of reach (e.g. at the foot end of
the bed) or lock the adjustment functions of the handset on the
control panel, if:
o The resident is unable to operate the bed safely or to free
himself/herself from potentially dangerous situations.
o The resident could be at risk due to unintentional motorised
adjustments.
o The safety sides are raised (danger that the user's limbs could be
trapped when adjusting the backrest and thigh rest).
o Children are left unsupervised in the room with the bed.
• Adjustments may then be made only by, or in the presence of, a
person who has received appropriate instruction.
• Ensure that no obstacles such as bedside cabinets, window sills,
sloping ceilings, floor cable ducts or chairs could impede adjustments
to the bed, to prevent damage to load-bearing parts of the bed and to
the obstacles.
• When not in use, stow the handset in such a way that it cannot
inadvertently fall off (hang it up by the hook). Make sure that the cable
cannot be damaged by moving parts of the bed.
