11. MAINTENANCE

To prolong the working life of the bed and for trouble free operation it is
recommended that routine inspections should be performed by a person
who is suitably qualified and well acquainted with the design, use and care
of your FL250 Bed.
If inspection reveals that the safety of the bed is jeopardised in any way, it
should be IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWN FROM SERVICE, tagged as such and
the owner notified.
NOTE: Other than general maintenance activities all other service or repair
work must be performed by qualified and trained persons who are approved
by Aidacare.
NOTE: For easy access to all parts of the bed and for safe handling,
use the EasyMove Transport System.
The bed must be disconnected from the mains power supply
before starting any maintenance activity.

12. TROUBLESHOOTING

IMPORTANT!
Prior to making any adjustments to the electronics of the bed, the control box
should always be reset to rule out any calibration issues.
Calibration issues can occur when power outages happen or when beds are
unplugged from the wall during use.
To complete a reset:
1. Hold down the top two buttons of the handset (Top Left + Top Right)
2. After 5 seconds continue to hold and the bed will enter reset sequence
This will result in all actuators retracting to their minimum length which
manifests as the bed flattening and descending to the lowest position
3. Once the bed reaches this position a faint relay "click" can be heard and the
handset LED light will flash several times indicating reset procedure is complete
4. If the bed does not perform normally after being reset, please explore
the trouble shooting guide suggestions
