11.1 Lifting poles
In both corners of the mattress base, towards the head panel, there is a round insert with a cavity into
which the lifting pole must be placed. The lifting pole must be inserted in the side from where the
patient gets in or out of the bed to help him/her out. Only use the manufacturers lifting pole design for
this bed and for specific Bariatric use.
Assembly
• Place the lifting pole into its housing. The metal pin must be placed into the cavity. Make sure to
double check the oscillation field of the lifting pole which must be limited.
Disassembly
• Remove the lifting pole from its housing by pulling it upwards.
Height adjustment of the handle
The height of the lifting pole handle can be adjusted with the strap supplied.
11.2 Attaching Full Length Side Rails to the bed
Fitting
• The easiest way is to raise the bed to its highest position.
• Insert each bed rail into the end caps provided and insert the end cap guides into the runners on the
head and foot board.
• Make sure to lift one rail at a time ensuring both ends are level before moving on to the next rail.
• You may have to press in the bottom button in order to fit the bottom bed rail.
• Once all rails have been fitted and are above the bottom button lift up the top bed rail until it
automatically fits into the highest position on both ends above the top button. You should not be able
to move the top rail upwards or downwards.
• Check that the other bed rails are properly inserted by pressing from the top of each bed rail. You
should not be able to move them downwards.
Lowering
• Lift the top bed rail slightly.
• Press the upper button and lower bed rail slowly to its lower position.
12. Selecting a Mattress
Ensure the selection of an appropriate mattress depending on whether the bed is set to standard or
extended mode. Having placed the mattress on the bed a risk assessment should be performed to
identify potential entrapment risks for the user. Please refer to 'Example of risk assessment in section
22' of this manual.
