mechanical strains (e.g. running over the mains cable),
• Moving the bed on an unstable surface,
• Using the bed on a sloping surface with an angle of 10° or more,

31) Safety notes – measures for the safe operation of hospital and nursing home beds:
• Electrical components on hospital and nursing home beds may only be repaired and
serviced by the manufacturer or by specialist personnel trained specifi cally by the
manufacturer. Otherwise there is a danger that specifi c procedures will not be
performed directly through lack of knowledge of product functionalities, leading to
an increased risk of electrical shock or fi re.
• Electrical components on hospital and nursing home beds may be replaced only with
the original spare parts from the manufacturer, since replacement with incorrect
components can lead to a highly increased risk of electrical shock or fi re.
• A safe location on the bed must be specifi ed for the hand controls, so that playing
with the hand controls can be prevented.
