) must be greater than or equal to 17. The stellar may be used as a nursing care bed in homes for the elderly or nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities. It is used to alleviate a disability and/or to facilitate the lives of people who are in need of care or to make the work of their caregivers easier.
The comfort/nursing care bed is not suitable for the use in hospitals. It is also not designed to transport patients. The comfort/nursing care bed can only be moved within the pa- tient's room - even during a patient positioning - for example, for cleaning or to provide a better access to the patient.
Safety instructions The intended use/operation of all moving parts is as important for the safety of the person in need of care as well as for the relatives and the caregivers/nursing staff to avoid poten- tially dangerous situations. This requires the correct installation and operation of the com- fort/nursing care bed.

Electric parts The drive unit The drive unit consists of individual drives for the electrical adjustment of the back and leg rest part. The level adjustment is performed with two individual drives that are at- tached to the chassis. The adjustment range of these individual drives is determined via Hall sensors.
The controller Controller comfort/nursing care bed stellar - front side The stellar comfort/nursing care bed is equipped with a controller system from Dew- ertOkin GmbH. Four drives can be connected to the controller (sockets 4, 5, 6 and 7). The colour coding can be found in chapter 4 "Assembly and operation".
Controller stellar comfort/nursing care bed - back side Connections are also provided on the back of the control box. A further control box (socket 8) for the ambient lighting, if available, is plugged in at this side. The hand control The hand control is equipped with a built-in locking device, which allows the caregivers to lock the hand switch via a key completely or partially for its operation.

other. Fasten the lying surface with the 4 screws supplied (cylinder head screws M8x50) and the 4 nuts. Now the cables of the control actuating device motors can be safely laid underneath the lying surface up to the control box. To simplify the cable routing, you can remove some of the panels from the lying surface frame.
Page 26
In addition, the cable behind the clip must be long enough to route it under the cross beam all the way to the controller. Pin assignment of the controller for the comfort/nursing care bed stellar: 1. Green: Jumper 2. Red: Y-cable 3.

Please also refer to the description of the controller in chapter 3. After all plugs have been connected to the controller, you may connect the supplied cover cap to the controller so that the connectors are securely fastened. The hand control is connected to a sep- arate control box (G) located in the head area.

Now, attach the mattress brackets using the supplied self-tapping screws, if these were not factory-installed (depending on shipping method of the comfort/nursing care bed). Subsequently, raise the chassis for the fur- ther assembly. To do this, connect the mains supply line feeder from the control- ler to a power source, and then move the comfort/nursing care bed upwards.

The foot side padded panel (3) is mounted in the same way. Next, the side panels (4) are attached to the lying surface. For this purpose, the panel is placed above the aluminium longi- tudinal beam (5). The panel should be set at a slight angle so that the brackets can pass the aluminium longitudinal beam.

The chassis of the stellar comfort/nursing care bed is also fitted with a panel cover- ing. The first step here is to mount the side panels.

Please perform a reset of all the motors, before putting the comfort/nursing care bed into operation. This procedure is described in chapter 3 "The hand control".

Mounting the side rails The comfort/nursing care bed stellar can be equipped with side rails. The comfort/nursing care bed should be moved to its uppermost position (1) to enable the instal- lation of the side rails. This considerably simplifies the as- sembly.
Page 33
Make sure that the side rails are correctly aligned with the brackets (see illus- tration)! The opening in the plastic parts points down- wards. The lettering ". bock ´´´" should be legible on the plastic parts. Proper view from below The hole in the plastic parts of the side rails must now be above the hole in the telescopic posts.
Page 34
The second telescopic post must then be mounted. In this case another single telescopic post (11) was selected. Al- ternatively, this can also be a double telescopic post. Push the side rails with their plastic parts together as far as possible.
Hold the back part by all means until it is fully lowered. Hazard note from Bock Emergency lowering may be only carried out in an emergency by people who safely master this operation. Always disconnect the comfort / nursing care beds from the power supply as long as the motor...
The speed of lowering depends on the weight of the mattress and the weight of the patient. Hazard note from Bock With heavy patients, the backrest can lower very quickly. Always lower the backrest with one hand on the mattress bracket to check the adjustment.
Change of location If the comfort/nursing care bed must be moved to another location, please follow these safety instructions: – Move the lying surface into the lowest position using the button (10) of the hand control. – Before conducting a movement, pull the mains plug and fasten it to the top of the lying surface, in order to secure the power cable against falling down and getting run over.

It goes without saying that every element of our additional equipment offer meets the special quality and safety standards of Bock. In addition to the standard accessories included in basic equipment, the customer can also choose from our variety of accessories, which is available for each comfort/nursing care bed model.
Cleaning, maintenance and disinfection The individual bed elements consist of high quality materials. The surfaces of the steel tubes is covered with a durable polyester-powder coating. All surfaces of the wooden parts are surface-sealed with an ecologically coating that is low on harmful substances. All bed elements are easy to clean and cared for using wipe and spray disinfection means according to the applicable cleaning requirements with respect to the various areas of application.
Cover materials Fundamentally, a regular cleaning will increase the service life of textile and imitation leather covers. Particles not removed (dust, crumbs) can cause damage to the covers through abrasions and chafing. To clean the polyester covers, vacuum them regularly and occasionally wipe them with a damp cloth or clean them with a high-quality upholstery shampoo.
