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, and the Head and Foot Boards are in place. When using the CPR Emergency Release System, ensure that the backrest panel is fully lowered, to avoid actuator damage due to incorrect use. (Do not release the RED CPR handle until the back rest panel is fully lowered). 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.

BED ASSEMBLY - Requires two persons Prior to assembly by qualified personnel, it is highly recommended that assembly persons be very familiar with this Instruction Manual and all facets of bed assembly and operation. During assembly, power is required to raise and lower the bed. A Mains Power Outlet/Power-point, a fully charged Battery Backup or an additional Junction Box can be used. The additional Junction Box (not supplied Part# MJB012-01) can be purchased separately.
DELIVERY
The bed is generally delivered, packed in two cartons (Folded Bed Base & Folded Mattress Platform). Packing method depends on destination. Ensure the bed cartons are received in the correct upright position, as marked on the cartons. If there is no carton, check for any visible, external damage.
BED BASE ASSEMBLY Ensure all castors are locked for safety. Remove the circlip and pin from each side of the saddle, on the lower beam. Release the lock on the red castor at the head end of the bed, leaving the green directional castor locked. Carefully pull the unlocked pedestal end away from the other pedestal, to flatten the main lower beam, with one person on each side to help as the pedestal end moves away from the other end. Unlock the ‘transport latch’, holding the beam against the pedestal ends. Swing the latch to one side, parallel to the beams. Replace circlip & pins into the lower beam hinges. It may be necessary when the beams are nearly horizontal to lift the pedestal ends vertically to “unlock” the hinged beam ends.

All functions are initialised by pressing the ‘HI-LO UP’ and ‘HI-LO DOWN’ buttons EXACTLY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY on the Backlit Handset Control. An intermittent beep will begin. Keep pressing the buttons until the beep stops. 2. Initialise the HI-LO actuators by pressing the ‘HI-LO DOWN’ button until the mattress platform is at the bed’s lowest height. Hold the button for approx. 1 second after the actuators have stopped. Both actuators are now set to be at their lowest position. The Backrest and Kneebreak actuators do not employ any positional feedback, and do not require initialisation. 3. Confirm that the lowest position of the mattress platform is perfectly horizontal.
BATTERY BACKUP The Backup Battery will take approx. 12 hours to fully charge. While charging, the ACK indicator light will flash yellow/orange (Page 25). To ensure long battery life, the bed should be connected to mains power at all possible times.
CONCLUDING ASSEMBLY 1. Add any ordered accessories such as Self Help Pole, IV Pole, etc. 2. Re-check that all screws, levers, bolts & attachments are securely tightened. 3. Lower the Head & Footboards into the bracket slots on the inside of each pedestal end. 4. Ensure the bed is fully cleaned before placing the mattress on the bed and making the bed.

CPR EMERGENCY QUICK RELEASE SYSTEM The CPR emergency procedure (combined rescue breathing and chest compressions) is used on a patient in cardiac arrest. CPR can be administered when the bed is in a CPR position - a totally horizontally, flat mattress platform. The P5 Premium bed is fitted with CPR Quick Release Levers, and also a CPR button on the Attendant Control Keypad (Page 25). CPR Quick Release Levers CPR button on the ACK Pull either one of the RED CPR The bed will quickly and electrically level the Quick Release Levers, located bed into the horizontally flat CPR position. under either side of the The sequence of movements firstly levels the backrest. This will immediately (mechanically/ mattress platform to a horizontal/flat manually) lower the Backrest panel to a flat position, then secondly flattens out the position. Backrest & Kneebreak simultaneously. (Note: When using the Emergency Release Levers, Early models may have a different sequence!) DO NOT stop the backrest panel
until it has fully lowered, or actuator damage may occur.
Regularly check the mechanics (see below) of the CPR Quick Release Levers to ensure the system is always operating correctly.
If intubation or head access is required… 1. Raise the bed, if it is at Floor-Level. 2. Remove the Headboard. There is no need to place the headboard under the mattress, as all LiftCare bed platforms are solid enough for effective chest compressions. 3. Release the Brakes, to allow the bed to be pulled out from the wall for easy access to the patient’s head. Once the bed is positioned, reapply the brakes.
CPR Emergency Quick Release System Testing Operation & Making Adjustments 1. Raise the back rest using the handset, while applying slight hand force to the top of the back rest panel (refer to Photo 1). The back rest should raise to it's highest position; if it doesn’t then the CPR cable is too tight and the release mechanism is partially engaged. The cable needs to be loosened via an adjustment. 2. Check the CPR cable tension, it should not be too tight, you should be able to move the cable laterally slightly (refer to Photo 2). 3. The CPR cable is adjusted by loosening the two locking nuts and moving the threaded section in the required direction, ‘In’ to loosen or ‘Out’ to tighten (refer to Photo 3). Access to both locking nuts can be gained from underneath the mattress platform. 4. Repeat Step 1, the back rest should raise to it's highest position with a slight downward hand force applied. 5. To ensure that the quick release system is operating properly, raise the back rest to it's highest position with the handset then by using slight downward hand force on the top of the back rest panel with one hand lift the red CPR lever upward with the other using the inside of your fingers (refer to Photo 4). The back rest panel should lower quickly. Note: After an initial "Run-in" period, the cable might loosen slightly. This is normal. A minor adjustment should be made, as per Step 3.

There are two types of wheel castors. The P 5 Premium bed is fitted with Standard Wheel Castors. Dual Wheel Castors are an Before moving the bed, raise the mattress platform to a minimum of alternative and optional accessory. 200mm from the floor. The set of Standard Wheel Castors comprises 1 GREEN Steering/Directional Castor 3 RED Braked Castors
When moving the bed, first release the
brakes on all castors so that the bed can move freely.
If brakes are not released and the
bed is forcibly moved when the wheels are locked, the treads may be damaged.
Re-engage the directional lock to assist
DIRECTIONAL LOCK The Directional Lock (green) is located on one castor at the head end. It can be locked in any position to aid and ensure a smooth and straight path down a hallway.

with steering. To control movement forwards or backwards only, 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 foot. This will engage a lock on this wheel which will permit the bed to run straight forward or backward when being moved. 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.
For safety, if leaving the bed
BRAKED CASTORS
for any time ensure castors are turned inwards and locked.
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.
Brakes are released by depressing the top
of the castor lever until it unlocks.
Do not attempt to set or release the brakes using your hands or fingers as injury may occur. LiftCare - A MEMBER OF THE HUMAN CARE GROUP. P5 Premium (P52EU2) INSTRUCTION MANUAL APRIL 2013 THIS MANUAL MAY NOT BE REPRODUCED IN PART, OR IN WHOLE, WITHOUT THE WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE PUBLISHER. 17
