Mattress Installation
Remove the system from the packaging. You should have the
following items:

hanging brackets.
• Alpha Active 4 mattress replacement with integral

The Alpha Active 4 mattress replacement system should be
installed as follows:

Remove the existing mattress from the bed frame and
check that there are no protruding bed springs or sharp
objects on the bed frame surface.
2.
Unroll the mattress onto the bed frame and ensure that the
tubeset is located near the foot end of the bed and the CPR
at the head end. The cells of the mattress must be
uppermost.
3.
Secure the mattress to the bed frame using the 6 fastener
straps.
NOTE
If the bed can be profiled to any position (i.e. raised or lowered),
attach the mattress to the movable parts of the bed only.
Complete the installation of the mattress replacement as follows:
1.
If not already fitted, place the protective cover over the
mattress. Ensure that the logo is uppermost and at the foot
end of the mattress.
2.
Zip the cover onto the mattress starting from the head end
and taking care not to trap any material in the zip.
