5000 SERIES Instruction Manual

PRE-OPERATION CHECK WITH BED IN POSITION CHECK THE FOLLOWING: • Electric beds should ONLY be used where earth leakage is fitted to the power source. • Check power cord is plugged into 240V supply and is active. • Check power cord is clear of castors and any moving part of bed. • Ensure power cord has enough slack so cord is not strained when the bed is raised and lowered. • Position bed at least 50mm from the floor in the lowest position. Lock castors. This position is critical so as not to damage the wall when raising the bed.

• Before using bed perform all functions to ensure they are working properly. If not please call your service technician or call Alrick Technician Team on +61 2 6898 1700. ** When fitting safety sides to this bed please beware of the possible crushing points. The clamps can create crushing points on the rails. **

IMPORTANT • Check electric cords regularly and notify an electrician or Alrick Manufacturing on +61 2 6898 1700 immediately. If any damage occurs cease to use and remove mains power until checked and repaired. • No wiring is to be modified without authorisation from the manufacturer. • Ensure the small extension cable is correctly connected to the bed socket and to the 240 volt supply when the bed is in a stationary position. A small light on the control box will illuminate showing a power supply. • Low Low model beds should be left in the lowest position when a nurse is not in attendance. • Nurses, cleaners or anyone using Alrick Electric Beds must make sure that the main power cord is clear of any moving parts on the bed before turning the power on. • Electric Beds should ONLY be used where earth leakage is fitted to the power source. • When patient condition could lead to patient entrapment the mattress support platform should be left in the flat position when unattended.

SAFETY & WARNINGS • Electric Beds should ONLY be used where earth leakage is fitted to the room or building. • If any cords are cut or damaged the bed MUST not be used until checked, fixed and tagged. • No patient, service personnel or any person must lie underneath an Alrick bed while power is turned on, if not obeyed this may result in serious bodily injury or death if the bed controls are actuated. • Please check no person or object is under the bed before using. • Hand control to only be given to fully competent patients. • Never leave hand control unattended with bed switched on unless patient is fully competent. • Fit optional nurse lockout for safety of incompetent patients. • Only one person is to be on the bed at any time.

MAINTENANCE • Beds should be inspected monthly for abnormal wear. For example, bolts loose or missing, castors, rubbers or brakes damaged. • Rails must be inspected regularly for any wear or movement that may cause injury, do not use if unsure. • If one or more of the bed functions is found not working correctly, notify the manufacturer for advice. EVERY 6 MONTHS:  Check there is no visible damage to electrical system or mechanical parts.  Check wiring is secure and not interfering with bed movement.  If actuator shafts are not clean - wipe chromed shaft of actuators to remove lint, grease & dirt  Extended actuators fully. (Do not wash as this removes fine layer of oil).  Correct operation of all bed functions including castor locking.  Check all accessories including rails are still functioning properly.  Check all pivot points on the bed for wear. Replace pivot pins or bolts and removable 

bushes (where fitted) if a pivot has a significant play. Check all functions still run smoothly.

CLEANING • Cleaning can be done often - using domestic detergents. • Do not use acids, alkaline or any other chemical solvents • When cleaning actuators disconnect from mains power before wiping down with a moist cloth. • When cleaning, be careful of entrapment, as it could cause physical injury.
