WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ì
General CAUTIONS
Improper use of some bed accessories (patient restraints, side rails, trapeze devices, etc.)
can cause patient injury or death. Consult your health care professional or the accessory
manufacturer for proper use instructions.
If using optional bed side rails and bed extension kit, check to ensure they are properly
and securely in place BEFORE using the bed.
Ensure the mattress is centered on the frame. This will minimize the risk of the occupant
becoming trapped between the mattress and the bed rail.
Individuals that cannot prevent themselves from rolling/climbing out of the bed may
require alternative safe means of restraint.
Replacement mattresses and bed rails with dimensions different than the original
equipment supplied or approved by Medline may not be interchangeable. Variations in
bed side rail design and thickness, size or density of the mattress could cause
entrapment. Use ONLY authorized Medline replacement parts.
For semi-electric and full electric beds, always remove the manual crank before
performing electronic functions. If left in place, the crank will turn when the motor is on
and could cause personal injury or damage to the bed.
When disassembling the bed, make sure all parts are in the lowest position.
Ì
Electrical CAUTIONS
Never operate the bed if it has a damaged cord or plug. If it is not working properly call a
qualified electrician.
The beds are equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protection against
possible shock hazards. Connect only to a three-prong outlet. Do not defeat the
grounding safety feature by using a three-prong to two-prong adapter. If necessary, have
outlet ground reliability checked by a qualified electrician.
Never plug into an outlet that is greater than 120 Volts AC.
Keep all cords away from heated or hot surfaces.
Ensure all cables and cords are routed in a way such that they will not become entangled
or pinched.
