  • Page 11: Operating Information

    After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware  is tightened securely. Close supervision is necessary when the electric bed is used by or near children and  physically challenged individuals. DO NOT let any individual underneath the bed or in between the raised bed frame  components at anytime. When bed is not to be used for an extended period, unplug electric bed from the wall  outlet.  Keep the product a minimum of 12 inches away from any direct heat source. DO NOT unplug power cord from junction box. 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. The electric bed is not designed to be used as a patient transport. When transporting a  patient, use an approved patient transport. Otherwise, injury or damage may result. When operating/moving electric beds, ALWAYS ensure that the individual utilizing the  bed is positioned properly within the confines of the bed. DO NOT let any extremities  protrude over the side or between the bed rails when performing these functions. After the electric bed has been assembled, ALWAYS test to make sure that all sections of  the electric bed are properly and securely in place before using. Make sure head and foot springs/sections are connected securely to the universal bed  ends before use. NEVER operate the unit if these cords are damaged.  If the unit is not working properly, call a qualified technician to examine the unit and  repair it. 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, bed rails or legs) during operation of the electric bed.  The electric bed is equipped with locking casters. When transferring into or out of the  electric bed, ALWAYS lock the locking caster(s). Inspect the wheel locks for correct  locking action before actual use. Even with casters properly locked, some flooring  surfaces such as tile or wood, will allow the bed to move under some conditions. Use on  surfaces such as these MUST be evaluated by the care provider. Ensure that all four casters are locked and that the bed does not move before transferring.  DO NOT transfer occupant if bed is not stable. Part No 1143215 BAR750...

    Three prong to two prong adapters should not be used. Use of three prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock haz- ard to the user. NEVER operate if the unit has a damaged cord or plug. If it is not working properly, call  a qualified technician for examination and repair. Keep all electrical cords away from heated or hot surfaces. Ensure all cables and cords are routed such that they will not become entangled or  pinched. Otherwise damage or injury may result. Repair or Service Information DO NOT open assemblies such as the motors, pendant, junction boxes or gear boxes. No  user serviceable parts are inside. Only qualified technicians are permitted to repair these  parts. If unqualified individuals perform any work on these beds, the warranty is void. Unplug the power cord from its power source before performing any maintenance on the  electric bed. DO NOT unplug the power cord from the junction box. Damage to cord will  result. Before installing the connector into the junction box, be sure the side with the locking tab  is facing downward ‐ otherwise, injury or damage may occur. Part No 1143215 BAR750...
  • Page 14: Grounding Instructions

    SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Grounding Instructions Electric beds are equipped with three‐prong (grounding) plugs for protection against  possible shock hazards. Where a two‐prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the  personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician  and have the two‐prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three‐prong wall  receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension  cord, use only a three‐wire extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as  the device being connected. DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round  grounding prong from any plug used with or for Invacare products. In addition, Invacare  has placed RED warning tags on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags. For proper grounding, junction box MUST be securely connected to the bed with metal  screws and the spacer provided or electrical shock could occur. Radio Frequency Interference Electronic equipment may be influenced by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Caution  should be exercised 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. Weight Limitations The total weight limit of the Bariatric Bed (including accessories, mattress, occupant and  any other objects positioned on the bed) is 750 pounds (340 kg); 675 pounds (308 kg)  patient weight. NEVER permit more than one person on the electric bed at any time. Body weight should be evenly distributed over the surface of the manual/electric 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 repositioning or transferring in or out  of bed.
