Pendant and Lockout Controls
The pendant control clips over siderails or to bed ends, and controls the head,
knee, and hilow up and down functions. The RESIDENT® Low Bed contains
head, knee, and hilow lockout switches located at the foot end to control each
function.
IV Pole Mounting Socket
Pairs of IV pole mounting sockets are provided at the inside of the footboard
and outside the headboard to accommodate the standard trapeze and traction
equipment.
Base Bumper
CAUTION:
Do not use the RESIDENT® Low Bed without the base bumper in
place. Equipment or facility damage could result.
A base bumper mounted to the head end base frame protects the wall from
damage during bed operation.
Operating Precautions
CAUTION:
Do not exceed the RESIDENT® Low Bed maximum safe working load
of 480 lb (218 kg). Equipment damage could result.
Before operating the bed, read and fully understand the contents of this
manual. Strictly adhere to the safety information contained within.
After placing the resident on that surface, the caregiver should inspect to
ensure that the gaps between the mattress and siderails do not present an
unreasonable risk to that patient. Carefully follow facility protocols for
assessing patients at risk for entrapment.
