1.1 Full Bed Warranty
Carroll Hospital Group’s pro-rated warranty covers manufacturing defect, or failure due to workmanship or
materials. Electrical components are guaranteed to be free from manufacturing defect for one (1) year
from the date of purchase, covered by the actuator manufacturer’s own warranty. Carroll Hospital Group
warrants to the original purchaser of its products that the product or any part thereof, in the judgement of
Carroll Hospital Group will not be defective in material or workmanship for one (1) year from date of original
purchase. Carroll Hospital Group. specifically warrants to the original purchaser of its products that the
reinforced fibreglass sections of the mattress deck will not be defective in material or workmanship for
twenty (20) years from date of original purchase. Such defects will be repaired or replaced (at the
company’s option) free of charge for parts only, provided the defective product is shipped to the factory or
an authorized depot at the customer’s own expense. Shipping charges for return of the product to the
customer will also be at the customer’s own expense.
This warranty does not include any labour or shipping charges incurred in replacement part installation or
repair of any such part. Carroll Hospital Group’s sole obligation and your exclusive remedy under this
warranty shall be limited to such repair and/or replacement.
After one year, for the next four years, frame parts only will be covered by the warranty according to the
following fee schedule: 2nd year – frame parts (list price less 60%); 3rd year – frame parts only (list price
less 40%); 4th year – frame parts (list price less 20%); 5th year frame parts (list price less 10%). Parts in
the judgement of Carroll Hospital Group found to be damaged through normal wear and tear, impact,
abuse, overloading, fire, lightening, water damage or power surges, brown-outs, improper supply voltage or
use of other manufacturer’s head and foot boards or accessories will not be covered and parts will be
charged out at the full list price. Note also that any alteration of the bed or one of its components voids

1.7 Important Electrical Safeguards
•Plug the three prong power supply cord ONLY into a properly grounded 110 VAC to 120 VAC, 60 Hz
outlet that is rated to at least 10 A.
•DO NOT use an extension cord.
•DO NOT permit the power supply cord, wall outlet, electric actuators, control box or pendant to become
wet or submerged.
•DO NOT operate the bed if the cord or outlet is damaged.
•DO NOT operate the bed if any actuator has malfunctioned or is damaged in any manner.
•DO NOT use this bed in Active Treatment "Ether Environments".
1.8 On-Board Battery
•All Spirit™ beds are equipped with a standard on-board rechargeable battery. The battery is located
under the knee section of the mattress deck between two linear actuators (on Spirit™ and Spirit Plus™
beds) or mounted to a bed frame cross member (Spirit Select™ beds).
•The battery is continuously charged as long as the bed’s power supply is plugged into a 120 VAC wall
outlet, and the battery cable is connected to the control box (refer to the Unpacking Instructions on
page 24). During extended periods of disconnect from mains AC power, the battery is susceptible to
permanent damage caused by being deep discharged. When storing the Spirit™ or Spirit Plus™ beds
for an extended period of time, ensure the battery connection cable is disconnected from the control
box (located under the head section of the mattress deck). The Spirit Select™ is equipped with an
automatic disconnect feature which disengages the battery from the charging circuit (no cables need to
be disconnected).
•The battery is maintenance free, with the exception of a recommended semi-annual test to verify the
battery’s operation (refer to Semi Annual Maintenance on page 83).
•In the event the battery is deemed to be faulty, does not hold a charge, will not operate the functions of
the bed while the bed is unplugged from the wall outlet, or if the battery’s case or mounting hardware
has been damaged in any way, replace the battery. Faulty batteries should be disposed of according
local laws and regulations. Lead acid batteries are completely recyclable.
•If the bed is to be stored out of service, store in a cool, dry environment.
•Do not expose the battery to heat. Keep away from flames and sparks.
WARNING
If a sulphuric odour (like a burnt match) is detected, or if any residual leakage is found
on or around the area of the battery, the battery should be replaced immediately. Faulty
batteries should be disposed of according local laws and regulations. Lead acid batteries
are completely recyclable.
WARNING
Lead-acid batteries can be hazardous to your health. Do not open the battery, avoid
contact with internal components. Internal components are Oxide lead and electrolyte.
Short-term exposure – Sulphuric acid may cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat.
Prolonged contact may cause severe burns. Long term exposure – repeated contact
causes irritation and skin burns. Repeated exposure to mist may cause erosion of teeth,
chronic eye irritation and/or chronic inflammation of the nose, throat, and bronchial
tubes.

WARNING
In the event a person is exposed to sulphuric acid, flush contacted area with large
amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and obtain
medical attention if necessary. Eye wash and emergency shower should be readily
available. If swallowed, give large amounts of water. DO NOT induce vomiting, obtain
medical treatment.
WARNING
If a sulphuric acid spill is found under the bed, dilute the spill cautiously with five to six
volumes of water and gradually neutralize with sodium bicarbonate, soda ash or lime.
When exposure level is not known, wear NIOSH approved positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus. Reference North American Emergency Response
Guidebook #154. Be sure to wear acid resistant gloves, safety glasses, and acid resistant
clothing when cleaning a sulphuric acid spill.
1.9 Grounding Instructions
This electric bed must be grounded.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current, thereby reducing the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounded plug. The
plug must be inserted into an appropriate electric outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electrocution.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are doubtful that the electrical
outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT modify the three prong plug provided. If it will not fit into the electrical outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER
Electric components, such as actuators, exposed to water, may cause severe injury
including electrocution.
During routine bed operation or when cleaning, DO NOT expose electrical components to
water. Unplug and de-energize electrical components when water products are near
these components.
CAUTION
Grounding reliability can only be achieved when bed is connected to an equivalent
receptacle marked “HOSPITAL ONLY” or “HOSPITAL GRADE”.
