Proper routing and tie-off of electrical cabling,

operation and to ensure safety from electrical shock.
In the event you are replacing any electrical cabling
on your bed, you must ensure the cables are free
from pinch points, obstructions, or stretched so tight
that they may come loose or become damaged. In
addition, cables should be tied off in such a way to
secure them and keep them free from tangling on
any part of the bed during normal operation. Refer to
pages 27 and 28 for proper cable routing.
