Instruction and general notes The different nursing bed systems from Hermann Bock GmbH meet special requirements for use in nursing and therapy facilities as well as for care at home. At the same time, reliable functionality and durability distinguish each individual care bed as being of partic- ularly high quality.
The nursing care bed is not intended for use in hospitals. If the nursing care bed is equipped with open casters, the nursing care bed can be used to transport patients. The nursing care bed can be moved while the patient is lying in it. To prepare for moving the bed, lock the casters and lower the mattress support frame to the lowest horizontal posi- tion.
Users are persons who are authorised on the basis of their education, experience or prod- uct training to operate or perform work on the nursing care bed. The user is able to iden- tify and/or prevent possible hazards and to assess the patient’s state of health. Patient/Occupant The person requiring care, infirm person, or person with a disability who is lying in the nursing care bed.

Avoid hazards from accidental motorised position changes and other incorrect operations by using the locking mechanism. When the user (e.g. the nursing staff or family member caring for the patient) leaves the room, all of the bed’s functions should be locked using the key on the hand switch.
To deactivate the nursing care bed and safely halt operation of the bed, remove the wall plug from the socket. Bock Safety Note When the user, e.g. the nursing staff or caring relatives, leaves the room, the lying surface should be moved to the lowest position in order to minimise the risk of injury if the patient falls out.
Installation site requirements Hermann Bock GmbH is not liable for any floor damage that may result from everyday use of this product. To avoid marks or impressions on the floor, the floor surface should comply with the rec- ommendations of the FEB (Fachverband der Hersteller elastischer Bodenbeläge e.

Assembly and installation – domiflex 3 Lay the end piece on the ground as shown in the figure at right. Before starting as- sembly, fully dispose of all packaging ma- terials (incl. cable ties). Locate the foot section of the mattress support frame, which has no mounting bracket for the trapeze bar.
Page 29
Check that the mattress support frame section is correctly connected to the end piece. The locking pin must be locked in position. Locate the head section of the mattress support frame. Put the lying surface on the head side onto the lying surface on the foot side, the tool-free connection must snap into place.
