WARNING: The medical bed shall only be used with a hoist that can positioned under the limited space of the bed.

2.1 Disabling box (IF INSTALLED ON THE BED)

CAUTION: Risk of injury - Protect electric cables from crushing.

This paragraph shall be used if the disabling box is installed on the bed and in combination with the manual control without lock function.

A disabling box is situated between the transformer and the manual control to prevent involuntary electric operation of the nursing bed (mounted on the cross bar of the bed undercarriage). It has rotating switches that activate or prevent manual operation.

2.2 Manual control without lock function

CAUTION: Risk of injury - Adjustments made by the patient must be allowed under supervision only.

This manual control shall be used in combination with the disabling box.

The height of the bed surface, the angle of the backrest and the knee-bend angle can be adjusted with the manual control. After use the manual control needs to be hung on the side rail and secured by means of the disabling box.

Following adjustments can be used:

When connecting the manual control to the disabling box please make sure that the connection plug in the disabling box is especially secure. Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the safety ring from the connection.

1. Insert the connection plug for the manual control in the disabling box.

1. Place the safety ring in the disabling box connection so the cable cannot be removed involuntarily.

The connection cable can only be removed from the disabling box after the safety ring has been removed.

2.3 Manual control with lock function

The disabling box can be replaced with a manual control with locking function.

2.4 Operating the steering casters
