The safety of a motor-driven base frame is directly linked to its
intended use. hülsta motor-driven base frames have been designed for
domestic use in combination with a suitable mattress. The main aspect
is the intended use: to sleep on it, plus the possibility to comfortably
sit in bed and/or to achieve a lying position using the motor-driven
adjustment of the base frame. Should the motor-driven base frame
be intended for the care of old, frail people or the sick, please note
that for reasons of liability this is only permissible upon approval by a
recommended retailer or hülsta. A hülsta motor-driven base frame has
no approval for medical/care purposes. ( see caution notice p. 2). In
order to avoid injury or damage whilst using a motor-driven base frame,
people or objects must not be placed between the bed and base frame
or the adjustment areas of the base frame. The motor-driven base
frame is not a toy! Do not leave the manual switch/transmitter with
children. ( see caution notice p. 2). The mattress must be suitable for
the special motorised adjustments. Resulting from relevant standard
safety tests for normal single standard sizes (70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140
cm width), a proven maximum load of 140 kg is acceptable. For any
loads exceeding this limit, warranty or guarantee services can only be
defined upon prior agreement with hülsta. Overloads of the adjustable
areas (adjusted back and leg section) must be avoided (see illustration
on page 4). Sitting on the adjusted back section can cause destruction
and is therefore not permissible. Any handling that is not described
within the user instructions is not deemed part of the intended use and
therefore not permissible. Contact the hülsta service department in the
