DANGER
When using an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord having at least
16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher electrical rating as
the device being connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of
fire and electric shock. Three prong to two prong adapters should not be used. Use
of three prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock haz-
ard to the user.
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.

user serviceable parts are inside. Only qualified technicians are permitted to repair these

Unplug the power cord from its power source before performing any maintenance on the
electric bed. DO NOT unplug the power cord from the junction box. Damage to cord will
result.
Before installing the connector into the junction box, be sure the side with the locking tab
