The main control unit and the back and foot rest actuators should already be attached to the bed frame (shown above detached). The cables will also be attached to the control box with the connectors for each actuator numbered up 1 – 4. Please be sure to connect the corresponding number to the number on each actuator.
Pay attention to position the back and foot rest actuators correctly! They should never be inverted. Make sure not to damage any cables. Verify that the cables do not get tangled and that they do not get caught in any in moving parts. In case of replacement of any individual components, always make sure that the electric plugs are then properly inserted into the controller.
During the installation of the bed you must take the following issues into serious consideration to minimize potential fire hazards due to external influences. Inform the user and the personnel about these issues! If possible, use only non-flammable mattresses and linens. •...
As with all electrical appliances, despite the compliance with prescribed values, it is not possible to totally exclude the possibility of interferences from other electrical devices which might be nearby (for ex. the “buzz” of a radio). In such a rare case, increase the distance of the bed from the interfering device, do not use the same socket or temporarily disconnect such device.
4.3 Swivel wheels The nursing bed has four swivelling castors which can be blocked individually. • Bring the mattress base into its lowest position. • Before each operation of the bed, make sure the power cable is not stretched, crushed or damaged in any way. How to apply the brake: Press the rocker lever down with your foot until it clicks.
The Apollo bed lever is designed to not restrict any moving part of the bed including the backrest and knee break mattress platform. Do not install any third party bed lever as it may restrict the moving parts of the bed, especially the backrest mattress platform.
Before you start clearing: • Remove the plug from the socket and make sure it does not come into contact with water or disinfectant. • Make sure all plugs are properly connected. None of the electric components must be externally damaged to avoid the penetration •...
• For the treatment only clean cloths should be used which must then be taken to be washed. • After the treatment the personnel should disinfect their hands before leaving the place to go somewhere else. The qualified personnel must be equipped with a disinfectant with dispenser.
• Carry out the disinfection by scrubbing and not by spraying the disinfectant in a large quantitative with the risk of being inhaled. • This is why rubbing plays an important role. • Do not use alcohol for large surfaces. 6.
