Assembly of Side Rails

1. Before installing the side rails, raise the bed to the highest
   position and remove any objects or accessories that could become
   entrapped in the side rail.

2. Position the side rail in the desired location, ensuring a
   maximum safety distance of 60mm between the side rail and the
   headboard, and a minimum safety distance of 318mm between the side
   rail and the footboard.

3. Place the U-shaped brackets on the sides of the bed. Pass the
   round head screw through the hole in the moorings, with the head
   towards the outside of the bed. Put the washer on and fasten with
   the locking nut. Ensure it is very tight.

Note: The designer recommends that the railing
be placed with the automatic locking system facing the head of the
bed (folding the railing from head to foot). This ensures that the
risk of entrapment of the patient on the headboard side is
minimized.

Safety Measures during Assembly

• CAUTION! The distance between the side rail
  and the inner face of the headboard MUST be less than 60mm.

• CAUTION! The distance between the upper face
  of the mattress and the upper part of the side rail MUST be greater
  than or equal to 220mm.

• CAUTION! The side rail length MUST be greater
  than 50% of the length of the bed base.

• CAUTION! The distance between the side rail
  and the inside face of the footboard MUST be less than 60mm or
  greater than 318mm.

User guide
Fold down side rails
Product code 910T-L, 910T-R
The fold down side rail is a one piece rail that extends along the side of the bed from the head to the foot section. When the side rail is in the raised position, the automatic locking system holds the rail in place. The side rails are safe and easy to use, as the system used to attach them folds when they are lowered, helping to prevent patients from catching themselves or having accidents. They can be used on any kind of bed by adapting the bed’s fitting to the frame section. The fitting takes 50mm x 20mm frame up to a maximum 70mm x 40mm. When the side rail is lowered, it is the same height as the bed frame.
