IN-HOME USE AND HOSPITAL STANDARDS:
Ergomotion adjustable bed bases are designed solely for in-home use. This
base was not designed as a hospital bed and is not designed to meet hospital
standards. Do not use this base with TENT TYPE oxygen therapy equipment or
near explosive gases.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES
Casters (optional leg accessory) are equipped with locking wheels to prevent
unwanted movement. Even when locked and unable to roll, it is possible for
the casters to slide. Free release head and foot motors are designed to lower
the mattress by retracting only with gravity, never pulling downwards, which
minimizes pinch points.
ACOUSTICS
LIFTING/LOWERING MECHANISMS
The lift/lower feature will emit a minimal humming sound during operation. This
is normal. During operation, the lift arm wheels make contact with the platform
support of the base. This contact may result in metal on metal or metal on plastic
contact. This applies slight tension on the moving components and resonance
is reduced to a minimum level. If excessive noise or vibration is experienced,
reverse the movement action (up or down) of the base with the remote control.
This should realign the base’s activating mechanisms to the proper operational
position. In normal base operation, the wheels which allow the bed to maintain
its distance from the wall, will make contact with the steel platform supports of
the base creating a contact noise. When entering, exiting or shifting weight on
the base, this contact noise may be audible as the wheels make contact. This is
normal.
MATERIALS
Ergomotion adjustable bases are constructed from various materials including
woods, metals, plastics and fabrics. Tension, pressure or movement applied to
the frame, platform or shroud through general use may create an audible sound.
MASSAGE OPERATION AND LOCATION ENVIRONMENT
The massage feature will emit a tone during operation. This is normal. As the
massage intensity level is increased, the tone will intensify. The volume of
this tone is directly related to the location environment. For example, when
demonstrated in a show room, the surrounding environmental noise will cover
some of the massage noise. However, when installed in a home setting with
wooden floors, carpeted or not, the massage volume will be more noticeable. To
minimize this resonance, place a piece of carpet, or rubber caster cups, under
each leg or caster of the base. It is possible to experience vibration or noise
from the exterior bed frame, headboard brackets, headboards or footboards if
mounting bolts are not firmly tightened.
Levels 1-6 of massage intensity represent the revolutions of the motor per
minute. Level 6 provides the maximum number of RPMs. However, this does not
mean that the feeling of vibration is the strongest. Depending on the mattress
material, thickness, and positioning of the user, the feeling of vibrations will differ.
We encourage the user to find the massage intensity setting that suits them best.
It is important to understand the physics of vibrations. Just as an engine may run
rough during idle, as the RPMs increase, the vibrations change concurrently.

safety precautions and usage statements
WARNING
For optimal safety and operation, plug bed base into a surge protector
(not included). The bed base should only be plugged directly into a
grounded wall outlet or surge protector (strongly recommended). Improper
connection of the equipment can result in the risk of electrical shock,
electrical file or faulty operation of this bed base. If the plug does not fit
your outlet, contact a qualified Electrician to install a suitable outlet.
