Important Safety Information
Read all instructions before using your adjustable base. Save these instructions.
SAFETY
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK, BURNS, FIRE OR INJURY:
•
Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. Never operate the base when
the air openings are blocked. Keep air openings free of lint, hair and the like. Do
not drop or insert any object into any opening.
•
Discontinue use of the bed base and contact a qualified service center if: it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or it has been dropped into
water.
•
Only use this bed base for its intended use as described in this manual.
•
Do not use accessories/attachments that are not recommended by the
manufacturer.
•
Unauthorized modification or failure to use a wall outlet or surge protector could
void the electrical portion of your warranty.
PETS AND CHILDREN:
Immediately dispose of all packing materials as it may pose a smothering risk to small
children and pets. To avoid injury, do not allow children and small pets to play on or
under the bed. Children should not operate the bed base without adult supervision.
PACEMAKERS:
Some products contain Neodymium MAGNETS which may interfere with devices
such as pacemakers, ICD’s and any other device sensitive to magnetic fields. It is
STRONGLY recommended that owners of such medical devices consult their physician
prior to using products that contain Neodymium MAGNETS. It is also possible that
some pacemakers may falsely interpret the optional massage feature vibrations as
movement/exercise. This is a common occurrence with any product that creates a
vibrating movement and may not affect the pacemaker. Please consult your physician
before using the massage feature.
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.
TOLERANCE
All Ergomotion adjustable foundations,
depending on make and model, are
designed and manufactured to perform
and function within designated quality
control parameters. Bases are subject to
meticulous and rigorous inspections during
the quality control process to ensure bases
will operate within these standards during
normal operating use. Normal operating
use is defined as the following: Adjustable
foundation is to be operated with a
mattress and load. Testing procedures
require lifetime cycle tests with up to 120kg
distributed load. The angle (designated “a”

WARNING
•
Keep bed in a flat position when not in use.
•
Stay clear of moving parts while in motion.
•
Before adjusting, make sure children and pets are clear of
moving parts and are not under bed base.
•
Do not allow children to operate bed base without adult
supervision
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.
WARNING
Always unplug the base from the electrical outlet before servicing any
part of the base. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the base before
cleaning. To safely disconnect, ensure the base is in a flat position with all
motors off, and unplug from power source.

” in figure 1) between the back section and the flat section for various configurations of the
mattress support platform shall be ± 3°, which translates to a tolerance of up to 1 ½”.
The angle (designated “
β

support platform shall be ± 3°, which translates to a tolerance of up to ¾”.
Any adjustable foundation deemed to be within these allocated tolerances is considered to have met the manufacturer’s
quality control standards.
