4.1 MOVING AND BRAKING THE BED
The bed is equipped with four lockable castors. The bed is delivered with individual
axle braking (at head and foot ends) (10) as standard. The bed can be supplied with
central locking at the foot end at the customer’s request (11). The bed can be moved
within the room even when the bed is occupied.
• The bed is not suitable for being moved often and over long distances
outside the room in corridors, across thresholds or on very uneven
floors (except for Libra – movo variant, as the chassis is equipped with
larger castors).
• Adjust the mattress base to the most ergonomic medium height before
moving the bed over a long stretch outside the room.
• Each time before moving the bed, ensure that:
o The mains cable cannot be stretched, driven over or damaged in
any other way.
o The power supply unit with the mains cable holder is always stowed
in the designated cable holder at the head end of the bed and the
cable does not trail on the floor.
o All cables, tubes or leads belonging to any accessory devices that
are attached to the bed are safely secured and cannot be damaged.
Otherwise the mains cable could sustain damage as a result of being
torn off, crushed or driven over. Such damage could lead to electrical
hazards and malfunctions.
• Ensure that the brakes of the bed are always adequately applied when
a resident is left unattended.
Depending on the bed location (e.g. against a wall or in a niche), it may
be sufficient to brake only two of the castors. If the bed is standing on a
sloping floor (e.g. on a ramp), then the brakes must be applied on all
four castors.
A safe and secure bed position must always be ensured!
