nitrous oxide. DO NOT use near explosive gases.
Keep the product a minimum of 12" away from any direct heat source.
Electrical and Grounding
DANGER
NEVER operate if the unit has a damaged cord or plug. If it is not working properly, call a qualified technician for
examination and repair. Keep all electrical cords away from heated or hot surfaces. Ensure all cables and cords are routed
such that they will not become entangled or pinched. Otherwise damage or injury may result.
If grounding is not reliable, unplug the bed and use the battery power, if equipped.
DO NOT unplug power cord from control box.
The pendant and power cords must be routed and secured properly to ensure that the cords DO NOT become
entangled, pinched and/or severed during operation of the electric bed.
NEVER operate the unit if these cords are damaged.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Grounding reliability depends upon a properly grounded wall outlet.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician
or service person if you are doubtful that the electrical outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the grounding plug
provided. If it will not fit into the electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Grounding
reliability can only be achieved when connected to an equivalent receptacle marked Hospital Only or Hospital Grade.
In the event of a power outage, the bed can be powered by its internal battery but MUST remain plugged into the
grounded outlet for proper grounding.
Electric components, such as motors may cause severe injury including electrocution if exposed to water.
During routine bed operation or when cleaning, DO NOT expose electrical components to water. Unplug and de-
energize electrical components when water products are near these components.
