3 SECTION COUCH USER GUIDE BE3020 3-Section couch, hydraulic, with paper roll holder BE2025 3-Section couch, electric, with paper roll holder Operator instructions The 3-section couch is a general purpose, variable height couch ideal for a wide range of uses. Available with either electric (remote handset or foot switch) or hydraulic (foot pump) height control. Wheel System To engage the wheel system, the levers at both ends of the couch must be firmly depressed by foot. To release the wheel system, place foot beneath the levers and lift upwards (these actions can be done from either side of the couch).
Installation DO NOT USE ANY SHARP OBJECTS TO CUT THE PACKAGING. ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE VINYL WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY
Unpack the couch. If the couch is to be located against a wall, please ensure no wall fixtures, sockets, furniture etc. will interfere with the safe operation of the couch. The wheel system should then be released. To enable the couch to stand level on any surface, an adjustable foot has been positioned on one corner. Turn the adjustable foot until the couch sits evenly on the floor. Height Adjustment
BE3020 Hydraulic The couch can be raised by continually depressing and releasing the pedals positioned near to the column section. To lower, place your foot under the pedal and lift upwards. The couch will slowly descend under its own weight (and that of the patient) and will stop at its lowest point, or when the pedal is released. BE2025 Electric Ensure the mains lead and remote handset/foot switch cable is free and not tangled around the frame of the of the couch. Fit the mains plug into a suitable mains supply socket. The couch can now be raised and lowered by pushing the appropriate buttons on either the remote handset or foot switch. Please contact [email protected] or call 01732 367777 with any queries
Tilting Seat (Tilting models only) Once the couch has been installed to the mains supply as described above, the seat section can be tilted from horizontal to a 15° head down incline by pushing the relevant buttons on your chosen control.
Raising & Lowering the Head & Foot Sections
Both hands are required. Push the hand lever towards the upholstery and the section will rise or lower unassisted. Once the section has guided to the required angle, release the lever and the section will lock into position. Never try to adjust the head and foot sections in any other way than described as above.
Use of the Couch for Large or Infirm Patients To avoid foot sections hitting the frame when the couch is lowered, the foot section can only fold to 20°. This may cause an issue for some patients; therefore, the following recommendations may assist: -
Adjust the height of the seat (using the main motor or hydraulic pump) to the most convenient height for the patient, so that they do not drop onto the seat.
-
The patient can sit on the seat from the side, thus enabling them to keep their feet more directly under their body mass. Please ensure couch arms are folded into their stowage position.
-
Once a patient is sitting on the couch seat from the side, they may require assistance to move their legs from the side seating position to the front of the couch.

Safe Operation of the Couch Do not exceed the below, maximum safe working loads. Weight must be distributed across the surface area of the couch.
BE3020 Hydraulic – 225kg BE2025 Electric – 260kg
-
The safe working load of the adjustable sections is 180kg. These loads are found on the base frame and the safe working load of each section on the side of the individual frames.
-
Take care not to shock load the tilting sections of the couch, through jumping or dropping onto it as this will impose a considerably higher loading of the mechanism.
-
The back and leg sections must not be used as a seat.
