Weight Limitations
DANGER!
Risk of Death, Injury or Damage
To avoid bed collapse and resulting injury or
damage:
– The weight limit of the occupant of the bed
CANNOT exceed 600 lbs (272 kg) for model
CS9FX600, 500 lbs. (228 kg) for models CS5
and CS7, and 450 lbs. (204 kg) for model CS3.
The TOTAL weight limit of the bed (including
accessories, mattress, occupant and any other
objects positioned on the bed) cannot exceed
rated capacity or Safe Working Load.
– NEVER permit more than one individual on the
bed at any time.
– Body weight should be evenly distributed over
the surface of the bed. DO NOT lay, sit or lean
in such a way that your entire body weight is
placed only on raised head or foot sections of
the bed. This includes when repositioning or
transferring in or out of bed.
– Each of the preceding impacts can permanently
damage either HI/LO motor resulting in an
inoperable bed. In the case of an inoperable
bed due to a damaged HI/LO motor, the HI/LO
motor must be replaced immediately. If left
unattended, a damaged HI/LO motor can cause
the bed to fall from the highest extended
position, resulting in patient injury.
NOT exceed the maximum continuous duty
cycle. Refer to 2.2 Specifications, page 9 .
