Cables and Cord Safety To maintain safe function of the bed and any external components, attention to cord and cable placement is extremely important.
Route the mains cable in such a way that when operating the bed it cannot get pulled, be cut, or be driven over, or be damaged by any moving parts. When using external electrical equipment, such as patient hoists/lifts, reading lamps etc., make sure that the electrical cables cannot get caught in, or get damaged by, parts of the bed. When not is use, stow the handset in such a way that it cannot inadvertently fall onto the floor; and make sure that the cable cannot get damaged by moving parts of the bed. Before moving the bed, it is important to raise the mattress platform to at least 200mm (8”) above floor level, then unplug it from the mains power supply. Stow the mains cable safely on a suitable handset holder on the head end pedestal, to ensure that it cannot trail on the floor. The mains power plug must be removed to electrically isolate the bed.

SAFETY ADVICE
The Floorline LC600 (LC600AU2) Medical Bed is suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Human Care Australia Pty Ltd - A member of The Human Care Group. FLOORLINE LC600 (LC600AU2) USER MANUAL - MARCH 2014 This manual may not be reproduced in part, or in whole, without the written permission of the publisher.
Always ensure that the mattress platform has
travelled to its lowest position before leaving an ‘at risk’ patient in the bed unattended. In this way, you greatly reduce the risk of patient injury as a result of falling out of bed. If a patients’ condition contains a risk of entrapment, then the mattress platform should always be left in a flat position. Take care with the use of side rails. If the side rails are raised, there is a risk of limbs getting trapped or crushed on adjusting the backrest or kneebreak. Human Care strongly recommends against the use of side rails. Do not pour liquids on any part of the bed end panels or close to parts containing electrical componentry, which could damage the electronics.
Checks and Inspections
At regular intervals, carry out a visual inspection of the mains cable to check for mechanical damage (e.g. scuffing, bare wires, kinks, pressure points etc.). Regular checks of the strain relief of the mains cable should be made to ensure that the screws are tight and secure.
Weekly checks should be performed...
whenever the cable has been subjected to any mechanical load (eg it has been driven over by the bed itself [or by an equipment trolley], or it has become bent, stretched or violently pulled, due to the bed being pulled away while still plugged into the wall socket). whenever the bed has been moved or relocated before plugging it back into the mains. where the bed is in constant operation.
Always inform the patient about safe operation of the bed’s controls. If the patient is unable to operate the bed safely or free themselves from potentially dangerous positions, they could be placed at risk through inadvertent adjustment of the electrical functions. It is recommended that children are never left unsupervised in a room with the bed. Place the handset beyond reach of children or ‘at risk’ patients, to prevent inadvertently Six-Monthly Maintenance inspections initiating power adjustments of the bed.

Handset The Handset permits patients to control and adjust their own bed, to different positions, to suit their changing comfort levels throughout their stay in bed. (See page 16 for full explanation of function buttons).
Backrest The backrest is a large mattress panel that raises from a supine position to an upright position, convenient for sitting, which allows a patient to enjoy the flexibility of changing to multiple positions for comfort and health.
Auto-Contour A Handset feature that uses one button to adjust both Backrest & Kneebreak simultaneously, into a cardiac chair position, even when the bed is in it’s lowest height position.
Kneebreak The kneebreak is a double mattress panel that splits as it electronically lifts or bends the patient’s thigh and calf at the knee, thus combining functionality and comfort for both the patient and carer.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES It is important that only Human Care accessories are fitted to Human Care beds, as any incompatible accessories can create hazards. Human Care Australia, formerly known as The LiftCare Bed Company, pioneered, developed and manufactured world-standard beds with True Floor-Level Nursing. Human Care cares about the comfort of patients and residents. Human Care supports carer’s desires for quality patient care. Human Care considers the health and safety of all carers.
The Floorline LC600 bed is a “True Floor-Level” bed, featuring design quality, durability and functionality based on many years of experience and technological development. Many optional accessories are available to be fitted, upon request.

(See page 5). To ensure long battery life, the bed should be connected to mains power, at all possible times. If the backup battery becomes flat, raising/ lowering functions will slow down or cease. A replacement should be ordered and fitted. Batteries in good condition will normally recharge in 12 hours or overnight when the bed is plugged back into the mains power supply. Extended periods without mains power will make the batteries unable to be recharged or operate at all. A replacement unit will need to be ordered and fitted.

CASTORS & BRAKES
MOVING THE BED
The Floorline LC600 bed is fitted with 100 mm Before moving bed in its bed position: (4”) Wheel Castors. 1. Raise the mattress platform to a minimum of 200mm from the floor. The set of Wheel Castors comprises 2. Release all castor brakes. 1 GREEN Steering/Directional Castor 3. Engage the directional lock to assist with 3 RED Braked Castors steering. 4. Always remove Self Help and IV Poles to avoid accidental injury. The Floorline LC600 bed is a one-piece design and may be moved and stored in a folded position, where it rests on all four castors. To fold the bed, see pages 20-21. DIRECTIONAL STEERING LOCK CASTOR The Directional Lock (green) is located on one castor at the head end. To aid a smooth and straight path down a hallway, orientate the directional/steering wheel, so it is parallel with the side edge of the bed and then depress the lock lever to the “ON” position with your shoe, permitting a straight forward or backward bed movement. The wheel itself can be positioned towards the front or the back of the castor outrigger but it is recommended to point down the bed’s length. The Directional Lock Castor should be engaged to the “ON” position at all times. To release the Directional Lock, depress the “OFF” lever.
Before moving bed in its folded position: 1. Ensure the transport latch and two centre platform lanyard pivot pins are securely in place, and bed clears the floor by 50mm (2”). 2. Safely store both handset and mains power cables over the folded bed to prevent them from dragging on the floor. 3. Lock and align green directional castor with the width of the bed to assist with steering. 4. Ensure all red braked castors are unlocked. 5. Push bed while walking along side it, with the green directional steering castor in front. Always Push Forwards Along Narrow Edge to prevent bed from becoming unstable, if forced over a floor hazard! NEVER PUSH BED SIDEWAYS ALONG FOLDED EDGE!
BRAKED CASTORS Braked Castors (red) are locked by depressing the front of the pedal on each castor lever. This is done by foot pressure when wearing appropriate protective shoes. To release Braked Castor re-depress the top of the castor lever until it unlocks. If brakes are not released and the bed is 6. Take extra care pushing the folded bed on forcibly moved when the wheels are carpet, as extra resistance can cause instability. locked, the treads may be damaged.
