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.

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.

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.
