Page 18: General Warnings
WARNINGS GENERAL WARNINGS DO NOT use this product or any available optional equipment without first completely reading and under- standing these instructions and any additional instructional material such as owner’s manuals, service manuals or instruction sheets supplied with this product or optional equipment. If you are unable to under- stand the warnings, cautions or instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical person- nel before attempting to use this equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may occur. Read all the instructions before using the bed. Refer to the owner’s manuals for beds and rails for additional product and safety information. After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. After the bed has been assembled, always test to make sure that all sections of the bed are properly and securely in place before using. ALWAYS use caster locks except when moving the bed. 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 assisting the user in repositioning or transferring in or out of bed. Check all parts for shipping damage and test before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use. Contact a qualified technician for further instruction. - Page 19 WARNINGS The March 2006 version of the FDA’s bed safety guidelines are published by Hospital Bed Safety Work- group. The latest revision of this document is available at http://www.fda.gov. If the unit is not working properly, call a qualified technician to examine the unit and repair it. Drive Medical products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Drive Medi- cal accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Drive Medical and are not recommended for use with Drive Medical products. Keep all moving parts, including the main frame, mattress deck (head and foot springs/sections) and all drive shafts free of obstruction (i.e. blankets/sheets, heating blankets/pads, tubing, wiring, etc. and other types of products using electric cords which may get tangled around the bed, side rails or legs) during operation of the bed. Keep the product a minimum of 12 inches away from any direct heat source. Make sure head and foot springs/sections are connected securely to the universal bed ends before use. Physically challenged individuals who cannot prevent themselves from rolling/climbing out of the this bed may require alternative safe means of restraint. Procedures other than those described in this manual must be performed by a qualified technician. Risk of injury to persons - DO NOT place video equipment such as televisions or computer monitors on bed. NEVER allow patients to use trapeze or traction units as a total individual weight support. Trapeze units are to be used only for assisting the patient in repositioning or transferring into or out of bed. Trapeze units must be positioned on a universal bed end as near as possible to the center point of the bed end.
- Page 20 WARNINGS The total weight limit of the Drive Medical 36-inch (91.4 cm) wide Manual/Electric bed (including accesso- ries, mattress, occupant and any other person/object positioned on the bed) is 450 pounds (204 kg.); 350 pounds (158 kg) patient weight. Use this bed only for its intended use as described in these instructions. DO NOT use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. After raising/lowering the head/foot end of the bed, check the distance between the bottom of the bed rail and the mattress. If there is excessive distance between the bottom of the bed rail and the mattress in which individuals may become entangled, adjust the height of the bed rail (if applicable), or provide alter- native means of patient protection. Once patient assessment concludes that the patient’s condition increases the chance of entrapment, the bed MUST be in the flat position when left unattended. Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper maintenance and use of equipment is required to reduce the risk of entrapment. Variations in bed rail dimensions, and mattress thickness, size or density could increase the risk of entrapment. Visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn about the risks of entrapment.

Page 21: Electrical Warnings
WARNINGS BED RAIL WARNINGS Although bed rails are not rated to any specific weight limitation, the bed rails may become deformed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted on the bed rails. The bed rail is not an assist rail for getting into or out of bed. DO NOT use the bed rails as push handles when moving the bed. Always test to make sure that the side rails are properly and securely in place before using the bed. DO NOT install the optional bed rails without reading and understanding all of the instructions in the in- struction sheet that accompanies the bed rail kit. DO NOT use the side rails as push handles for moving the bed. These bed rails are intended to prevent an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed. DO NOT use for restraint purposes. - Page 22 WARNINGS DO NOT place pendant under or between objects. This may unintentionally press the buttons and may cause injury or damage. Electronic equipment may be influenced by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Caution should be exer- cised with regard to the use of portable communications equipment in the area around such equipment. If RFI causes erratic behavior, unplug the electric bed IMMEDIATELY. Leave unplugged while transmission is in progress. Ensure all cables and cords are routed such that they will not become entangled or pinched. Otherwise damage or injury may result. If a button on the pendant does not release or sticks, the bed spring will not stop moving. If a liquid is spilled in or around the electric bed, unplug the electric bed before cleaning. Clean up the spill and allow the electric bed or the area around the electric bed to dry thoroughly before using the electric controls again.
- Page 23 WARNINGS Use caution when disconnecting the pendant. DO NOT press pendant buttons. When bed is not to be used for an extended period, unplug electric bed from the wall outlet. 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 to two prong adapters should not be used. Use of three prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock hazard to the user. When using nasal or masked type oxygen administering equipment, the oxygen or air tubing MUST be routed and secured properly to ensure that the tubing does not become entangled and/or severed during normal operation of the bed. DO NOT use near explosive gases. Possible fire hazard when used with oxygen administering equipment other than nasal or masked type.

Questions and answers
Can bed be transported with just removing head and foot rests
No, the Drive 15560 bed cannot be transported by only removing the head and foot rests. Full disassembly requires separating the head and foot spring sections, which involves pulling and rotating a lock knob, as well as removing cotter pins securing the sleep surface. Transport also typically requires removing the motor and other components.
