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.
PMI recommends that the mattress be centered on the bed frame.
Otherwise, entrapment may occur between the bed rail and the bed frame.
After raising/lowering the head/foot end of the manual/electric 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 entrapment may occur, adjust the height of the bed rail (if applicable),
OR provide alternative means of patient protection.
Unless the bed rail is in the lowest position, ensure that the plunger pins fully
protrude through the adjustment hole of each rail tube. This ensures that the
bed rail is securely locked in position.
INSTALLING/REMOVING THE BED RAIL
MOUNTING BRACKETS
NOTE: Reverse this procedure to remove the bed rail mounting brackets.
Because of the heavier weight limitations associated with the Bariatric Bed,
the Bariatric Bed Rails are shipped with two (2) bed rail mounting brack-
ets. These bed rail mounting brackets are designed to support heavier weight
limitations and MUST be used when installing half length bed rails onto the
Bariatric Bed.
NOTE: The bed rails can be mounted on either the head and/or foot ends of the bed.
