Check the bed to make sure the brakes have been applied. www.permobil.ca 47 Tröst and Tröst Plus Bed Owner's Manual Using side rails Side rails are made to prevent accidental falls. They must not be used to restrain, to keep the user from getting out of the bed, or to help the user to turn. It is the caretaker's responsibility to use the appropriate restraining means for the user's safety. Half side rails at the head of the bed should always be up when repositioning the bed. When the side rails are up, make sure that they are properly locked. Half side rails at the head of the bed should always be up when moving the bed. It is the responsibility of the user and his or her healthcare professional to determine whether the half side rails at the foot end of the bed should be left up or down, so that the user can get out of the bed at their convenience. User safety Unless otherwise medically advised by a professional, lower the bed to the lowest horizontal position and leave side rails up and locked when the user is sleeping or left without supervision. If required for the user's welfare or security, unplug the remote. Electrical safety Unplug the bed immediately if a significant overflow of liquid is accidentally spilled on the electronic components, the wires, or the electric motors. The functioning of these components can be affected. The user must be removed, the bed cleaned and examined by a qualified technician. The bed can be used again only if it has been properly cleaned and examined. No electrical components should be changed by anyone other than a qualified technician. Before changing an electric component, unplug the power cable and the battery fuse. This must be done by a qualified technician. 48 www.permobil.ca Tröst and Tröst Plus Bed Owner's Manual Maintenance Maintenance Regular maintenance is essential to maintain the bed's reliability. A defective bed should not be used. Make sure to support the frame of the bed if you need to work under the platform. This will prevent the bed's structure from falling accidentally. If a moving part needs to be re-lubricated, use any piston lube. Cleaning Always unplug the bed before cleaning. Do not submerge the hand pendant in liquid. Do not steam or pressure wash the bed or any of its components. Never use high pressure water, or ultrasounds, and never submerge the bed parts to clean them. To clean the bed, use detergents normally used in hospitals or at home. Products may be applied by lightly spraying or wiping. Excess water or liquid may damage electrical parts and pose a shock hazard. Make sure the cleaned parts are dry before using the bed again. Do not remove lubricant from the moving parts of the bed. Regular inspection ¨ Visually check the bed and its accessories. Ensure that no wires are exposed. ¨ Make sure the power cable cannot get damaged to avoid injuries and/or equipment failure.
