The side rail
Each comfort/nursing care bed can be equipped on both sides with two side rails at a
special safety height. The side rails can be lifted and lowered. Depending on the model,
shorter or longer divided side rail variations are available. The side rails can be retrofitted
on the stellar comfort/nursing care bed.
Operating the telescopic split side rails (optional)
Each side rail element can be adjusted independently from the rest
of the side rail parts. The release buttons for adjustment are on the
bottom of the telescopic post and on the top of the appropriate end
panel of the comfort/nursing care beds, right next to the metal
guides for the side guard rail bars.
To lower the side rail element, hold the upper knob (1) of the middle
post with one hand, lift it up slightly, and with the other hand press
the release button (2) on the middle post in the inner direction.
The side rail opens at the corresponding place and can be easily low-
ered downwards as far as it will go (3). The side rail is now diagonal.
To also lower the other side, please hold the side rail on the side of
the end panel at the gripping groove (4), and slowly raise the side
rail somewhat. Now, you can fully press the release button (5) and
slowly lower the side rail.
Please observe:
Be sure to raise the side rail slightly, and only then press
the release button! Failure to do so will result in dam-
age to the release.
The side rail is now in the lowered position.
If the side rail element should be placed in the top position to aid in
fall prevention, reach with both hands in the centre of the gripping
groove (6) in the upper side guard rail, and pull it upwards until you
hear it click into place at both ends. The side rail is now in a pulled-
up position.
