Line and Britt V side rails

WARNING!
Risk of entrapment / suffocation
– To avoid the patient from entrapping or accidentally
falling from the mattress support, it is essential that
the gliding shoes are correctly guided into the bed end
rails. Adjust the side rail bars by hand, to ensure they
are mounted correctly.
Mounting
CAUTION!
– Make sure that the straps between the rails are not
damaged or loose.
1. Mount one end at a time. Lift the upper side rail bar (the release
buttons must face up/outwards)
2. Press the locking pin at the end of the side rail with a finger.
3. All three gliding shoes at the end of the bars are guided into
the bed end rail, until the lower bar has been locked, thereby
preventing the side rail from falling down.
4. Repeat points 2 and 3 when mounting the other end of the side
rail.
