DANGER!
Risk Of Injury Or Death
Bed accessories designed by other manufacturers have NOT been tested by Invacare. Use of NON-Invacare bed accessories may
result in injury or death.
–
Use ONLY Invacare rails, mattresses, bed extenders and other accessories with Invacare bed products.
WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
To avoid injury or damage from instability or incorrect storage:
–
Always be aware of the location of the boom tube, base assemblies, and grab bar.
–
DO NOT store grab bar on the boom tube or mast.
–
DO NOT install or adjust trapeze while bed is occupied.
–
Ensure that the snap buttons in the base assemblies fully protrude through the holes in the A-frame. This ensures that the base
assemblies are properly installed and securely locked in position.
