Please check all fixings on your bed at least once a month. Pay special attention to side
rail components and mattress platform connections.
The 9V block battery is the energy store for electrical emergency lowering in the event
of a power failure. The energy store is sufficient for one emergency lowering at the most
and must then be replaced. If the expiry date of the battery has elapsed then it must be
replaced immediately. Since batteries are subject to self-discharging, it is recommended
that the battery is replaced every two years if not used. It must be ensured that the
battery is a 6LR61 alkaline manganese battery and not any other type. Used batteries
must be disposed of in an environmentally compatible way.
5.6 Accessories
The optional accessories available include a patient's lifting pole of which the safe working
load is 80 kg and must not be exceeded. The patient's lifting pole may only be used
within its admissible adjusting range which is defined by the sleeve on the bed. Otherwise
the whole bed can tip up and result in serious injury.
Use only mattresses compatible with the supplied side rail system. The dimension
between mattress upper surface in uncompressed condition and top edge of the upper
side rail must be 220mm minimum. If this dimension is less than 220mm, an extension
side rail kit should be fitted.
5.7 Electromagnetic Compatibility
Regarding their emitted interference and interference resistance, the electric motor units
comply with the requirements of EN 60601-1-2:2007 (see section 8.8). However, it is
possible that electrical devices interfere with each other. In this case, switch off the care
bed for a short time or remove the interference source.
5.8 Storage
If the care bed is stored for a lengthy period, the 9V block battery should be removed, as
it will be subject to a higher rate of self-discharge.
5.9 Service Life and Disposal
The normal service life for care beds in domestic use is approx. 5 years. The care bed
must not be disposed of as normal domestic waste after its service life has expired.
