LOWER BED RAILS AND REMOVE MATTRESS.
PLACE COCOON ONTO THE BED. ALLOW LONG SIDES TO DROP DOWN OVER THE BED RAILS AND LIFT THE TWO END BUMPERS INTO THE UPRIGHT POSITION.
PLACE THE MATTRESS BACK ONTO THE BED, OVER THE BOTTOM SHEET OF THE COCOON. WITH AIRFLOW MATTRESSES, FEED THE AIR PIPES THROUGH ONE OF THE HOLES PROVIDED IN THE BASE SHEET, USING THE ONE MOST CONVENIENT TO THE AIR PUMP.
MAKE SURE THAT THE MATTRESS IS FITTED INSIDE THE END COMPARTMENTS, WITH THE BUMPERS ON TOP OF THE MATTRESS.
LIFT ONE LONG BUMPER SIDE UP ONTO THE TOP OF THE MATTRESS, RAISE THE ZIPS AT EACH END, LIFT THE BED RAIL INTO PLACE AND ATTACH THE TIES SECURELY AROUND THE RAILS.THE MATTRESS SHOULD FIT UNDER ALL THE BUMPERS.
THE UNZIPPED SIDE CAN REMAIN DOWN UNTIL THE SERVICE USER IS IN BED.
ONCE THE SERVICE USER IS IN BED, THIS SIDE CAN BE LIFTED INTO PLACE, ZIPPED UP, THE BED RAIL LIFTED AND THE TIES SECURED AS BEFORE.
N.B. WHEN DROPPING A BED RAIL TO GAIN ACCESS, FIRST RELEASE THE TIES AND MAKE SURE THE ZIPS ARE DRAWN DOWN TO THE BASE OF THE COCOON. NOT DOING THIS WILL PUT UNNECESSARY STRAIN ON THE TIES AND THE ZIPS.
