WARNINGS
cians are permitted to repair these parts. If unquali-
fied individuals perform any work on these beds,
the warranty is void.
DO NOT
place pendant under or between objects.
This may unintentionally press the buttons and may
cause injury or damage.
Electronic equipment may be influenced by Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI). Caution should be
exercised with regard to the use of portable com-
munications equipment in the area around such
equipment. If RFI causes erratic behavior, unplug
the electric bed
IMMEDIATELY
. Leave unplugged
while transmission is in progress.
Ensure all cables and cords are routed such that
they will not become entangled or pinched. Other-
wise damage or injury may result.
If a button on the pendant does not release or
sticks, the bed spring will not stop moving.
If a liquid is spilled in or around the electric bed, un-
plug the electric bed before cleaning. Clean up the
spill and allow the electric bed or the area around
the electric bed to dry thoroughly before using the
electric controls again.
Inspect the covering of the bed’s control panel and
the patient control panel to assure that the covering
is not cracked or damaged.
Keep all electrical cords away from heated or hot
surfaces.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
NEVER
operate if the unit has a damaged cord or
plug. If it is not working properly, call a qualified
technician for examination and repair.
NEVER
operate this bed if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been
dropped, damaged, or dropped into water. Return
the bed to a service center for examination and
repair.
On Full Electric beds, the Hi/Lo crank
MUST
be
removed before the bed is used. Failure to remove
the crank may cause damage or personal injury.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Ground-
ing reliability depends upon a properly grounded
wall outlet.
The pendant and power cords must be routed and
secured properly to ensure that the cords
DO NOT
become entangled, pinched and/or severed during
operation of the electric bed.
Unplug from the outlet before servicing.
Unplug the power cord from its power source be-
fore performing any maintenance on the manual/
electric bed.

unplug the power cord from
the junction box. Damage to cord will result.
Use caution when disconnecting the pendant.

NOT
press pendant buttons.
When bed is not to be used for an extended period,
unplug electric bed from the wall outlet.
When using an extension cord, use only a three
wire extension cord having at least 16 AWG (Ameri-
can Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher
electrical rating as the device being connected. Use
of improper extension cord could result in a risk of
fire and electric shock. Three to two prong adapters
should not be used. Use of three prong adapters
can result in improper grounding and present a
shock hazard to the user.
When using nasal or masked type oxygen admin-
istering equipment, the oxygen or air tubing
MUST
be routed and secured properly to ensure that the
tubing does not become entangled and/or severed
during normal operation of the bed.
