WARNINGS
– General
• When using liquids in or around the bed, caution should be taken to ensure liquids of any kind are not
spilled. If a liquid is spilled in or around the bed, UNPLUG the bed immediately. Clean up spill and allow
bed and area around bed to dry thoroughly before using the electric controls again.
• After installation and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is securely tightened.
• Pendant cord must be routed and secured properly to ensure cord does not become entangled or
damaged during normal operation of the bed.
• Keep all moving parts free from obstruction, e.g., blankets/sheets, heating blankets/pads, tubing,
wiring, etc. which may get tangled around the bed, assist devices or legs during operation of the bed.
• Beds are equipped with locking casters. Casters should be locked at all times, except when moving the
bed or when operating subacute care features.
• The assist devices are not intended for and may NOT be used as a restraint. If necessary, a physician or
healthcare professional should be consulted for other means of safe restraint.
• When using assist devices, if excessive side pressure is exerted on them, they can be deformed or
broken. Do not use assist devices as handles to move the bed.
• Never permit more than one person in/on the bed at any time.
• Body weight should be evenly distributed over the surface of the bed. The bed weight capacity is 750
lbs. This is the total weight of the resident, mattress, bedding, headboard and footboard, assist devices,
and any other accessories. Exceeding weight limit may cause bed to fail.
• Do not allow resident to lie, sit or lean in such a way that the entire body weight is placed only on
raised head or foot sections of the bed. This includes while assisting the resident in repositioning
or transferring in or out of bed.
• The bed is provided with an additional safety feature of a protective earth ground to help protect against
possible shock hazard. The electrical cord should only be plugged into a grounded 110/120V outlet. DO
NOT ALTER THE PROVIDED PLUG. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the grounding
prong. If the plug does not fit the existing outlet, a licensed electrician should install a correct outlet.
Never operate the bed if it has a damaged cord or plug.
• Unplug the power cord when performing any maintenance on the bed.
