Batteries in good condition will normally
recharge in 12 hours or overnight when the bed
is plugged back into the mains power supply.
Extended periods without mains power will
make the batteries unable to be recharged or
operate at all. A replacement unit will need to
be ordered and fitted.
Backlit Handset (only for the FloorLine-i Plus bed)
The Backlit Handset permits patients to control
and adjust their own bed, to different positions,
to suit their changing comfort levels throughout
their stay in bed. The soft lighting feature allows
a patient the convenience of night-time use,
without other lights.

it from the mains power supply. Stow the
mains cable safely on a suitable handset
holder on the head end pedestal, to ensure
that it cannot trail on the floor.
7.5 To safeguard the patient and
particularly children
Always inform the patient about safe operation
of the bed’s controls. If the patient is unable to
operate the bed safely or free themselves from
potentially dangerous positions, they could be
placed at risk through inadvertent adjustment of
the electrical functions.
• It is recommended that children are never
left unsupervised in a room with the bed.
• Place the handset beyond reach of children
or ‘at risk’ patients, to prevent inadvertently
initiating power adjustments of the bed. Any
adjustments may then only be carried out by
or in the presence of a person instructed in
the proper operation of the bed.
• Always ensure that the mattress platform has
travelled to its lowest position before leaving
an ‘at risk’ patient in the bed unattended.
In this way, you greatly reduce the risk of
patient injury as a result of falling out of bed.
• If a patients’ condition contains a risk of
entrapment, then the mattress platform
should always be left in a flat position.
• Take care with the use of side rails. If the
side rails are raised, there is a risk of limbs
gettng trapped or crushed on adjusting the
backrest or kneebreak. Human Care strongly
recommends against the use of side rails.
7.6 Checks and inspections
Make sure to follow mainteance instructions to
ensure safe use ot the bed.

9. Operation Instructions
ENG
9.12 Moving the bed
o
Before moving the bed, raise
the mattress platform to a
minimum of 200mm from the
floor.
• When moving the bed, first release the
brakes on all castors so that the bed can
move freely.
• If brakes are not released and the bed is
forcibly moved when the wheels are locked,
the bed may be damaged.
• Re-engage the directional lock to assist with
steering.
• To control movement forwards or backwards
only, orientate the directional/steering
wheel, so it is parallel with the side edge of
the bed and then depress the lock lever to
the “ON” position with your foot. This will
engage a lock on this wheel which will permit
the bed to run straight forward or backward
when being moved. The wheel itself can be
positioned towards the front or the back of
the castor outrigger but it is recommended
to point down the bed’s length.
o
For safety, if leaving the bed
for any time ensure castors are
turned inwards and locked.
9.13 Folding the bed
For folding and storing, the bed needs to be
disassembled, please see assembly/disassembly
chapter.
9.14 CPR Emergency quick release system
(this information is only for the FloorLine-i
Plus bed)
The CPR emergency procedure (combined
rescue breathing and chest compressions) is
used on a patient in cardiac arrest. CPR can be
administered when the bed is in a CPR position a totally horizontally, flat mattress platform.
The FloorLine-i Plus bed is fitted with CPR Quick
Release Levers, and also a CPR button on the
Attendant Control Keypad.
CPR Quick Release Levers
Pull either one of the RED CPR Quick Release
Levers, located under either side of the backrest.
This will immediately (mechanically/manually)
lower the Backrest panel to a flat position.
When using the Emergency Release
Levers, DO NOT stop the backrest panel
until it has fully lowered, or actuator
damage may occur.
CPR button on the ACK
The bed will quickly and electrically level the
bed into the horizontally flat CPR position.
The sequence of movements firstly levels the
mattress platform to a horizontal/flat position,
then secondly flattens out the Backrest &
Kneebreak simultaneously. (Note: Early models
may have a different sequence!)
Regularly check the mechanics (see below)
of the CPR Quick Release Levers to ensure
the system is always operating correctly.
If intubation or head access is required…
1. Raise the bed, if it is at Floor-Level.
2. Remove the Headboard. There is no need
to place the headboard under the mattress,
as all Human Care bed platforms are solid
enough for effective chest compressions.
3. Release the Brakes, to allow the bed to be
pulled out from the wall for easy access to the
patient’s head. Once the bed is positioned,
reapply the brakes.
CPR Emergency Quick Release System, Testing
Operation & Making Adjustments
1. Raise the back rest using the handset, while
applying slight hand force to the top of the
29
www.humancaregroup.com
back rest panel. The back rest should raise to
it’s highest position; if it doesn’t then the CPR
cable is too tight and the release mechanism
is partially engaged. The cable needs to be
loosened via an adjustment (Photo 1).
Photo 1.
2. Check the CPR cable tension, it should not
be too tight, you should be able to move the
cable laterally slightly (Photo 2).
Photo 2.
3. The CPR cable is adjusted by loosening the
two locking nuts and moving the threaded
section in the required direction, ‘In’ to loosen
or ‘Out’ to tighten (Photo 3). Access to both
locking nuts can be gained from underneath
the mattress platform.
Photo 3.
4. Repeat Step 1, the back rest should raise to
it’s highest position with a slight downward
hand force applied.
5. To ensure that the quick release system is
operating properly, raise the back rest to it’s
highest position with the handset then by
using slight downward hand force on the top
of the back rest panel with one hand lift the
red CPR lever upward with the other using the
inside of your fingers (Photo 4). The back rest
panel should lower quickly.
photo 4.
Note: After an initial “Run-in” period, the
cable might loosen slightly. This is normal.
A minor adjustment should be made, as
per Step 3.
9.15 CPR & Intubation (this information is
only for the FloorLine-i bed)
The CPR emergency procedure (combined
rescue breathing and chest compressions) is
used on a patient in cardiac arrest.
CPR can be administered when the bed is in a
CPR position - a totally horizontally, flat mattress
platform.
If CPR, intubation or head access is required
1. Raise/lower the bed, to the preferred height.
Note: This FloorLine-i bed does NOT feature
any CPR Emergency Quick Release systems!
2. Remove the Headboard. There is no need
to place the headboard under the mattress,
as all Human Care bed platforms are solid
enough for effective chest compressions.
3. Release the Brakes, to allow the bed to be
pulled out from the wall for easy access to the
patient’s head. Once the bed is positioned,
reapply the brakes.
