SAFETY SUMMARY
AND OPERATING INFORMATION
After installation and before use, ensure all attached hardware is securely tightened
Hand pendant cord must be routed and secured properly to ensure cord does not become
entangled, pinched, or severed during normal bed operation.
Keep all moving parts free from obstruction (i.e. blankets/sheets, heating blankets/pads,
tubing, wiring, etc.) or with any other products that use electric cords which could get
tangled around the bed, side rails or legs during operation of bed.
Beds are equipped with folding central lock. To operate the central lock, pull out foot
pedal, depress to lock and push back to starting position. To unlock, pull out foot pedal,
depress to unlock and push back to starting position. A green indicator should be visible
once unlocked. ALWAYS use lock EXCEPT when moving the bed. Pads can be adjusted by
rotating them clockwise or counter-clockwise to ensure proper contact with floor.
The side rails are NOT intended to be used as a patient restraint. If necessary, a physician
or healthcare professional should be consulted for other means of safe restraint.
Be sure to fully lock side rails / assist bars in the fully up or down position. Failure to lock
the accessories may result in unintentional movement and injury to patient or caregiver.
When using side rails, excessive side pressure can cause the rails to deform or break. DO
NOT USE side rails as handles to move the bed.
NEVER permit more than 1 person in or on bed at any time. The safe working load for this
bed is rated at 500-lbs.
Body weight should be evenly distributed over the surface of the bed.

A person SHOULD NOT lay, sit or lean in such a way that his or her entire body weight is
placed only on the RAISED head or foot sections of the bed. This includes ASSISITING the
user in repositioning or transferring in or out of bed.
DO NOT ALTER THE PLUG ON THE ELECTRICAL CORD. If the plug does not fit the existing
outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a licensed electrician. NEVER operate the unit
if it has a damaged cord or plug.
UNPLUG the power cord when performing any maintenance (including cleaning) on the
bed.
DO NOT open or disassemble any factory sealed electronics. If these units are opened, the
warranty is void.
