Remove all bubble wrap from bed. Remove protective foam pad from the end of the bed. Remove ties from safety side rails Remove ties from the backrest, thigh section and the foot section. Remove tie, which secures the upper mattress frame to the wheelbase. Plug the handset into the handset socket. The handset will be stored under the bed frame. Remove the plastic sheath from the handset cable and make sure that the handset is fully inserted into the socket. Remove bubble wrap from the head & footboards. Insert the head & footboards into the sockets and tighten the tri wheel screws. Uncoil the power cable and plug into mains power. Check operation of all functions with the mains power turned on. Check operation of all functions with the mains power turned off. (If fitted with battery backup). Check that the safety side rails lock into all positions. Clean the bed with a general-purpose spray.

STORAGE & TRANSPORT CONDITIONS Ambient temp. range: +10°C to +40°C Rel. humidity range: 30% to 75% Atmospheric Pressure range: 700 hPa to 1060 hPa Inspect all cables particularly the mains power cable for any damage; replace where necessary. Stow the mains power cable on the storage hooks and clip the handset to the head –board frame when transporting the bed. For ease of steering, set the castors to the steering position prior to transportation. When the bed needs to moved to either side, set the castors to the free position When bed has been positioned, set the castors to the fully locked position The bed must be placed on a level surface to ensure all castors make contact with the floor. Be sure to check for obstructions both above and below the bed frame and position the bed so that it can operate through the full height range without any chance of collision.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BED FUNCTIONS. The Medicraft ® HLE 8000 is an electrically operated bed with 3 basic movement functions. Hi – Lo adjustment Backrest adjustment Knee break adjustment (Optional) The electrical components run from a standard 240-volt AC outlet, which is stepped down to 24 volts DC. HI LOW Operation A single actuator system operates the Hi – Lo function. This actuator is fitted with internal limit switches to stop the piston at the fully extended and fully retracted positions. When raising the bed the actuator extends. When lowering the bed the actuator retracts. Backrest Operation A single actuator extends to raise, and retracts to lower. This actuator is freewheeling which means that it cannot pull. If an obstruction is present the actuator will free wheel. Knee Break Operation (Optional) A single actuator extends to raise, and retracts to lower. This actuator is fitted with internal limit switches to stop the piston at the fully extended and fully retracted positions. This actuator cannot pull. If an obstruction is present the actuator will free wheel.

CENTRAL LOCKING CASTORS

TO APPLY THE BRAKES

The central locking braking system is activated by depressing the Black pedal at the foot end of the bed. The two-foot end castors and one head end castor will then be locked from swiveling and rotating.

TO RELEASE THE BRAKES Position foot under the pedal and lift the brake pedal up to the middle free position. All four wheels should rotate and swivel freely.

TO APPLY STEERING LOCK Position foot under the pedal and lift the brake pedal up to the tracking position. One castor at the head end of the bed will lock into a non-swivel mode. This allows straight steering by the attendant, when pushing from the foot end.

TO RELEASE THE STEERING LOCK Depress the pedal at the foot end of the bed until the pedal returns to the horizontal position. All four wheels should rotate freely.

NURSE LOCK OUT

A nurse lockout switch box is fitted at the foot end of the mattress base. To disable any or all of the functions, turn the appropriate control to the locked position. This is indicated by a locked padlock symbol. Turn this control to the unlocked padlock symbol to enable any or all functions. Each channel is identified by the logos directly below each control.

BACKREST OPERATION To raise or lower the Backrest, press the appropriate button on the handset.

KNEE-BREAK OPERATION To raise or lower the knee-break, press the appropriate button on the handset. When the knee-break is raised, the lower leg section will remain parallel with the bed frame. The lower leg section can be lowered manually to bend the knee. This will be reset back to the normal parallel function when the knee break is lowered back to the flat position.

SAFETY SIDE RAILS The safety side rails have 4 positions. Fully up position.

Mid position.

Check position. When lowering the rail it will stop at this position. This allows the attendant to check for any obstructions prior to lowering to the fully down position. *NOTE*The rail must never be left in this position. If the rail is to be lowered, it must be fully lowered immediately after reaching this position.

Fully Down position. IMPORTANT This position must be set prior to patient transfer. If the rail is to be lowered, it must be fully lowered to this position.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION The materials used in the control boxes handsets and actuators are resistant to many detergents and disinfectants commonly used in hospital and care sectors. Units with IP51 protections ratings must not be washed down. Disconnect the mains power cable and use a slightly damp cloth to wipe over. The control box material used in IP66 protection ratings are resistant to hot and cold water and softeners. Organic solvents like Halogenide / aromatic hydrocarbons and ketones must not be used. Units rated to IP66 protection ratings are suitable for cleaning in wash tunnels which correspond to those, manufactured by KLEINDIENST, type Clean- Station ES3-387, provided that the following conditions are observed: -

All handset and actuator cable connection must be secure and be fully inserted into the control box before the bed enters the wash tunnel. The “O” ring seals on the cable plugs must be intact. Check the locking ring is in place on the CB12. The cleaning and disinfection cycle in wash tunnels must not exceed 10 minutes. Pressures on jet nozzles in wash tunnels must not exceed 10 bar. Distance between the jet nozzles and electric actuator parts must be at least 300mm. Water temperature must not exceed 85º C. Chilling with cold water is not permitted.

It is recommended to run the actuators in to their minimum stoke length before washing them to avoid degreasing of the spindle tubes. The following must be observed as regards to detergents: -

They must not be strongly alkaline or acidic (pH-value 6-8) They must not contain corrosive or caustic matters They must not contain chemicals that will change the surface structure or adhesive ability of the plastics. They must not dissolve grease.

The following disinfectants with detergents are recommended: -

NEODISCHER DEKONTA, Dose 1-3%, make: CHEMISCHE FABRIK Dr. WEIGERT CCOTRADE RW, Dose 0.5%, make: CCOTRADE GmbH. (CCOTRADE and NEODISCHER are trademarks.)

NOTE. Cleaning by means of a hand controlled jet pipe, which is for example connected to a steam cleaner, is not permitted, since it is not possible to maintain a minimum distance of 300mm to the electric parts.
