To ensure the safe use of the Reduced Gap Home Bed Rail, these
instructions MUST be followed:
DO NOT install or use this equipment without first reading and
understanding these instructions. If you are unable to understand the
Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional,
dealer or technical personnel before attempting to install this equipment
- otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
When used with a manual stationary deck bed, the bed rails DO NOT fall
under any weight limitations. Bed rails can be deformed if excessive side
pressure is exerted on the bed rails. The bed rails are used for the
purpose of preventing an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed.
If an individual is capable of injuring himself/herself, a physician or a
healthcare professional should be consulted for alternative means of safe
restraint.
Replacement mattresses and bed rails with dimensions DIFFERENT than
the original equipment supplied or specified by the bed manufacturer
may not be interchangeable. Variations in bed side rail design, thickness,
size or density of the mattress could cause entrapment. Use ONLY
authorized Invacare replacement parts.
DO NOT use the bed rails as push handles when moving the bed.
This bed rail is NOT a handhold for getting into or out of bed.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION WARNINGS
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all
attaching hardware is tightened securely.
Always test to make sure that the bed rails are properly and securely in
place BEFORE using.
Make certain that the crossbraces do not exceed width of mattress.
Otherwise, entrapment may occur between bed rail and mattress or bed
frame.
