IMPORTANT SAFETY AND WARNING INFORMATION
WARNING: Read and follow all instructions. Care must be taken when adjusting your
Slide-W-I-D-E Expandable/Retractable Sleep Deck. To avoid possible injury, keep hands
clear of deck ends when expanding or retracting, especially near the headboard or
footboard. To avoid pinching, the deck should only be adjusted from the side. Assist
devices and mattress should be removed prior to adjusting the deck.
 WARNING:Whenexpandingorretractingthedeck,makesuretorstremovethe
quick-release detent pins located on the underside of both sides of the foot deck and head
deck. Make sure to re-insert the pins into the proper width holes before allowing patient
into the bed to avoid injury to the patient and damage to the decks. Pins must be fully
seated before any operation of the bed.
WARNING: Caregivers should be aware that the corners of the deck system may extend
slightly past the headboard and footboard at the corners. Care should be taken to avoid
these areas when moving around the bed.
WARNING: Patient body weight should be evenly distributed over the sleeping surface of
the bed. DO NOT allow the patient to lie, sit, or lean in such a way that their entire body
weight is placed only on the raised head or foot section, or only one side of the bed.
This especially applies when repositioning or transferring a patient in or out of the bed.
Increased risk may occur when the patient’s size and/or weight are inappropriate for the
bed’s dimensions or weight capacity. See your service manual for proper Maximum Safe
Working Load for your model bed.
