RECEIVING

It is imperative that all shipments are inspected within 5 days in order to make a freight claim 
for any concealed damage.
1.  Count cartons before signing shipping papers.
2.  Compare the number of cartons shipped with the number actually received.
3.  Visually inspect all cartons for any damage.
4.  If number of packages shipped and received do not match up or if there is any damage to 

carton, note on freight bill and have driver sign acknowledging the claim and notify your 
Medline sales rep or Medline Customer Service (1-800-MEDLINE).

UNPACkING

CAUTION:

 The bed is extremely heavy; unpack with two or more people.

1.  Remove bands and top
2.  With at least 

TWO

 people, remove the bed from the carton by lifting underlying and 

rotating frame of bed so the casters are facing down. Place it on level ground next to the 
carton.

 ** If at this point, you discover concealed damage, immediately contact Medline Customer
 Service and take photographs to document the damage for the freight claim.
3.  Inspect plug and cord for any cuts or damage. If there isn’t any damage, plug in the bed and 

elevate the bed deck to a comfortable working height. 

4.  Cut the cable ties only holding bed deck sections to the bed frame, being careful not to 

damage cords or cables. 

DO NOT

 cut all cable ties from the bed. Cable ties are needed to 

hold bed wiring in place.

5.  Insert the wall guard into the head section H-frame using a rubber mallet if necessary. The 

wall guard includes C clips that allow you to extend the wall guard out and hold it in place.  
This allows for additional distance from the wall.

            Wall Guard Fully Inserted                              Wall Guard Extended for added distance
