ZENITH SERIES
This product is a variable height, adjustable mattress
platform, which will provide comfort and convenience
for residents/patients and caregivers in long term
care settings.
The MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING LOAD for the
Zenith 5000 Bed with weight evenly distributed,
including bedding, resident/patient, support surface,
and all accessories, is 500 lbs.
NEVER operate the bed if a Power Cord or Plug is
damaged or not working properly. Contact qualified
Service Personnel for examination and repair. Always
unplug the Power Cord when performing any mainte-
nance on the bed.
DO NOT open assemblies such as the Actuators, Hand
Control, or Control Box. If unauthorized personnel
perform work on these components, the manufacturer’s
warranty becomes void.
DO NOT use unauthorized parts, accessories, or
adaptors other than those specified/authorized by
GF Health Products, Inc.
When operating the HI/LO, Knee, or Back Functions
of the bed, ALWAYS ensure that the confined individual
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.
DO NOT lower the bed when objects are beneath it.
Failure to inspect under the bed can result in damage
to property or personal injury.
The bed’s Pendant Cord MUST BE ROUTED AND
SECURED PROPERLY to ensure it does not become
entangled and eventually severed during use. Also
make sure all electrical cords DO NOT get tangled
around the bed, side rails, or legs during transport or
normal operation of the bed.
When using nasal-type or masked-type administering
equipment, all oxygen or air tubing MUST BE ROUTED
AND SECURED PROPERLY to ensure that the tubing
does not become entangled and eventually severed
during the normal operation of the bed.
Keep all moving parts free of obstructions (i.e. blankets/
sheets, heating blankets/pads, wiring, etc.).
Beds manufactured by Basic American Medical Products
are designed for use within an institutional healthcare
environment (i.e. assisted living, skilled nursing, tran-
sitional care, rehabilitational care, etc.).
DO NOT use the assist devices as push handles for moving
the bed. Assist devices can be deformed or broken if
excessive side pressure is exerted. Assist devices are not
meant for patients considered as high risks for entrapment
(i.e. patients with pre-existing conditions such as
confusion, restlessness, lack of muscle control, altered
mental status, either organic or medicinal, or a combi-
nation thereof). Additional safety measures should be
considered for such high-risk patients.
NEVER permit more than one (1) person on/in the bed
at any time.
Body weight should be evenly distributed over the
sleeping surface of the bed. DO NOT allow the patient
to lay, sit, or lean in such a way that their entire body
weight is placed only on the raised head or foot sections
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.
Risk of entanglement or injury may occur if the mattress
used with mattress retainers does not fill the entire width
between stops or which compresses to less than 1.50
inches under user’s weight.
Mattress must be properly sized to fit the mattress support
platform and must remain centered on the support platform
relative to State and Federal guidelines. Recommended
minimum dimensions of mattress is 35 inches wide and
6 inches deep. Length should match the mattress support
platform. Use of an improperly fitted mattress could
result in injury or death.
IMPORTANT: Powered air mattress surfaces may pose
a risk of entrapment. Prior to use, ensure the therapeutic
benefits outweigh the risk of entrapment.
The bed is intended for use, storage, and transport within
a temperature range of -40˚C to +60˚C. It has a water-
resistance rating of IPX6 and IS NOT to be power-
washed or submersed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY AND WARNING INFORMATION

GF Health Products, Inc. - www.grahamfield.com Zenith 5000 Service Manual 999-0856-190C - DEC. 2013

ZENITH SERIES
On April 10, 2006, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Adminis-
tration) released long-awaited guidelines for reducing the risk
of bed entrapment: “Hospital Bed System Dimensional and
Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment”. The new Guidance
identifies potential entrapment areas and those body parts most
at risk for entrapment; provides design criteria for manufacturers
of new hospital/convalescent beds; recommends particular test
methods to assess the conformance of existing hospital/conva-
lescent bed systems; and answers frequently-asked questions
about entrapment issues.
The new Guidance was a result of a long-standing collaboration
between the FDA and the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup
(HBSW), formed in 1999. GF Health Products, Inc’s Long-
Term Care Bed division: Basic American Medical Products, is
an HBSW charter member. As a result of our commitment to
product safety, all our current long-term care beds have been
strictly tested and conform to the new FDA Guidance.
The guidelines set forth by the FDA Guidance layout specific
dimensional limitations on potentially injury-threatening gaps
and spaces that can occur between bed system components,
such as rails, when not properly installed. GF Health Products,
Inc. and Basic American Medical Products have conformed
to these guidelines from a manufacturing aspect. However,
entrapment issues can often arise when a healthcare provider/
facility has not correctly assembled the components on a bed.
It is essential that the provider/facility fully understand their
responsibility in complying to the guidelines set forth by the
FDA in order to avoid injury. To that end, we have provided
the FDA’s web address at right as a resource for understanding
and following these guidelines for the safety of patients/residents.
It is also essential to have the correct bed components/acces-
sories that correspond with the needs of the patient/resident
and the particular bed you have purchased. Matching the correct
bed component that correlates with the regulatory guidelines can
be a daunting task. Our sales team at GF Health Products, Inc.
and our friendly Customer Service Representatives at Basic
American Medical Products can help you sift through the wide
array of compliance and bed options. We will help you determine
which bed/bed part is best for the patient’s/resident’s particular
needs and help you with any compliance issues.
The Zenith 5000 bed and accessories listed in this
manual are in full compliance with FDA guidelines
for reducing the risk of bed entrapment: “Hospital
Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance
to Reduce Entrapment”.
Details can be found at www.fda.gov.
ENTRAPMENT & COMPLIANCE INFORMATION
The head/back and knee/foot decks can be lifted freely
by hand for easy cleaning access when patients are not
in the bed. If you lift the head/back or knee/foot deck
for any reason, please take great care when lowering
back down to the prone position - make sure that all
body parts are clear of the space between the deck and
the bed prior to slowly lowering any deck manually. To
avoid injury, DO NOT LET DECKS FALL FREELY
FROM ANY ANGLE.
Proper routing and tie-off of electrical cabling, especially
the power cord, is essential for proper operation and to
ensure safety from electrical shock. In the event you are
replacing any electrical cabling on your bed, you must
make sure the cables are free from any pinch points,
obstructions, or stretched so tight that they may come
loose or become damaged. In addition, cables should
be tied off in such a way to secure them and keep them
free from tangling on any part of the bed during normal
operation. Refer to your service manual’s electrical
section for proper cable routing.

OPTIONAL TRAPEZE SUPPORT INSTALLATION
(The Trapeze Support is attached to the head section of the bed.)
Please Order Kit Number ZA79000
Trapeze Support vertical
support tube. (TMI Bar
Sleeve would be inserted
inside the tube.)
Use first holes in
Trapeze Support
to mount to main
frame tubes.
USE SAME CLEVIS PINS AND HAIR PIN CLIPS
THAT WERE USED TO CONNECT HEADBOARD
TO MOUNTING TUBES.
Use third hole
from the end of the
main frame tubes.
1. Begin by removing the headboard panel assembly (#2),
if previously assembled to the bed, by pulling out the
two Clevis Pins and two Hair Pin Clips that attach the
main frame tubes to the headboard’s mounting tubes.
Set all pins aside for later use.
2. Detach the headboard panel from the mounting tubes
by unscrewing the four 40mm Allen Head Bolts that
hold the board to the tubes (these will be replaced with
the longer Phillips Head Pan Screws from the trapeze
adaptor hardware bag). Do not remove the (4) four
1/4-20 inserts (#3) from the board. They will be used
again to mount the board to the trapeze support.
3. Assemble the Trapeze Support (#1) to the main frame
tubes using the two Clevis Pins and Hair Pin Clips you
removed in Step 1. The first holes in the Trapeze tubes
must line up with the third hole from the end in the
main frame tubes as shown.
4. Insert the 1/4-20 x 2.50” Carriage Bolt (#5) into the vertical
support as shown and fasten with a 1/4-20 Hex Head Lock
Nut (#6). Both parts should be in the hardware bag.
5. Assemble the headboard to the inside of the Trapeze Support
so that the side of the headboard with the inserts is facing
away from the Trapeze Support. From the outside, insert
the (4) four 1/4-20 x 1.75” long Machine Screws (#4) from
the hardware bag through the holes in the Trapeze Support,
screwing them into the inserts in the headboard.
6. OPTIONAL - FOR TMI TRAPEZE BAR WITH SLEEVE:
Insert the Sleeve into the vertical support with the slot on
the bottom. Rotate the sleeve until it falls into place over
the carriage bolt you inserted in Step 4. This will lock it into
the proper position. (NOTE: The top of the Sleeve should
sit flush with the top of the vertical support on the Trapeze
Support Adaptor.)
