6. Ensure that the three air lines that extend from the mattress are protruding through the
opening in the lower right corner of the blue coverlet. If necessary, the zipper at the
underside of the coverlet can be unfastened in order to retrieve air lines. Once the air lines
are protruding through the coverlet opening and the zipper is refastened, the air lines from
the mattress can be connected to the air lines that extend from the control unit.
7. Bring the three air lines from the control around to the meet air lines extending from the
mattress. Ensure that the airlines are not kinked or twisted.
CAUTION: Never thread airline through mechanical parts of the bed or bed rails
where normal bed movement may damage the airlines or the air control unit itself.
Check to be sure the routing of the air lines or the motion of the bed does not
impede air flow by crimping the air lines.
8. Identify correct male/female pairs, which match by both color and size. Press
corresponding fittings together until hearing an audible click, which confirms that the
connection is complete.
The surface is now ready for use by patients who are within the 400 lbs (181.4 kg) weight
limit for the product.
Attempting to force a connection between fittings that are not properly mated by size and
color will cause damage to the connectors and will not allow system to function properly.
