tables, or other furniture which could
impede free movement of the bed.
• The mattress platform is at least 200mm (8")
clear of the floor, before moving the bed.
• Moving the bed is done safely. Proper
footwear should be worn, and care should
be taken to avoid running over other

• Self-help and IV poles are lowered or
removed, if moving under low doorways,
near equipment or low lights.

Safety for the operator
With the aid of this manual, which must be
handed over together with the bed, you must
ensure that every user is instructed in the safe
operation of the bed before it is put into service
for the first time.
Draw every user's attention to the possible

• Never place feet on castor support frames
(outrigger), at any time.
• Check that all cables and cords are clear
of obstructions, that may interfere with
bed movement. Bed movement may cut
cords and cables if they are caught in the
movement.
• Before using bed controls, ensure all bed
panels can move freely. Check that nothing
is below the mattress base, backrest,
kneebreak or castor outrigger when the
bed is operating. Do not lower the bed to
minimum height, if feet, slippers, or any
other object is under the mattress base.
At the time of leaving the factory, this bed
represents quality in design, technology and
innovation. The most important objective of
this safety advice is to prevent injury.
This applies in particular to using the electrical
drives and side rails (if fitted). Human Care
strongly advises against the use of side rails.
Incompatible side rails can create
hazards
Pay attention to your obligations in order to
ensure the permanently safe operation of this
medical product to minimise all risks to the
patient, user and/or third parties.
If the bed is in long-term use, it is important
after a reasonable period of time, to test all of
the functions, and to check for functional and
visual damage.
Regular preventative maintenance is the
Operator's responsibility.
