SUPERVISION - For your safety and the safety of others, do not
allow any individual under the Murphy Bed when lowering or
on the bed when it’s being raised or stowed. Children should
be supervised at all times and adults should likewise instruct
children about the hazards of being under the bed when
lowering or on the bed when it is being raised.
PINCH POINTS - Beware of pinch points between the base of
the Murphy Bed and the sofa when lowering and between the
base of the bed and the storage compartment when raising
and/or stowing the bed. Also, beware of the pinch point
between the footboard and your feet when lowering the bed and
the footboard and the base of the bed when raising to stow.
CRUSH HAZARD - Lowering the bed may cause injury to
oneself or others. Keep clear of the bed base when lowering or
raising the Murphy Bed and ensure that no adult, child or pet
are under or near the bed when lowering or raising to stow.
USER ENTRAPMENT - Make certain that no person is on the
Murphy Bed when it is being raised or if the bed has not
properly latched in place after it has been lowered for use. If the
bed is not properly latched in place during use, it may
inadvertently raise up if there is too much weight on the head
of the bed past the pivot point. In that circumstance, a person
may be trapped between the bed and the storage compartment
which may result in serious injury or death. In addition, if
someone is on the bed when it is being raised to be stowed,
that person may be trapped between the bed and the storage
compartment which may result in serious personal injury or
death.
MAXIMUM WEIGHT—Know your weight. Maximum capacity of
the Murphy Bed is two (2) average sized adults. DO NOT exceed
500 pounds on the Murphy Bed.
