The operation of the continuous side rails
The release button for adjusting the continuous side rails is located at the top of the in-
ner sides of the head and foot panels directly next to the metal guides for the side guard
rails.
If the side rails are to be lowered, grasp the provided gripping groove of the upper side
guard rail (Fig. 6), lift the side rail slightly and press the release button on one side of the
head or foot panel (Fig. 7). The side rail is released on the corresponding side and can
easily be lowered down to the stop (Fig. 8). The side rail is now diagonal. To lower the
other side as well, carry out the previously described steps on the opposite end. The side
rail is now in the lowered position.
Please observe: Be sure to raise the side rail slightly, and only then press the release
button!

If the side rails are to be brought into the upper position as protection against falling
out, grasp the upper side guard rail in the middle of the gripping groove and pull the side
rail upwards until it audibly engages at both ends. The side rail is now in a pulled-up po-
sition.
The side rails first and foremost serve as a fall prevention. In the case of very emaciated
persons in need of care, this protection is no longer sufficiently provided by the side rails
and additional protective measures must be taken, e.g. by adding a sliding side rail pad-
ding (accessory).
The distances of the continuous side rails must be less than 12 cm. When using the con-
tinuous side rails, they may not remain in a diagonal position.
