Always raise the side rails whenever the patient is lying on the bed in the
supine position.
Always raise the side rails whenever the patient is lying on the bed in the supine
position
Always lock all casters and align parallel to the patient before use.(see pg 2)
Take special care to lock the casters securely when reclining or inclining the
bed or when transferring the patient to or from the bed.
Place bed in level position when transferring the patient to or from the bed.
Do not confuse the head end and foot end of the bed when placing the patient
in the supine position.
The mattress should be sufficiently wide enough to prevent any part of the
patient’s body from falling between the side rails and the mattress.
Make sure all persons and objects are clear of the bed when raising or
lowering the bed. Do not place arms or head into frame while
operating.
Moving parts. Watch for pinch points. Keep fingers, arms, legs, and
objects clear of bed when any mechanism is in motion.
Keep all objects out from under the bed. Certain parts under the bed raise and
lower when the bed is in motion. Make sure there is nothing under the bed to
interfere with proper bed operations.
Do not allow the patient to sit on the bed when it is in the highest position.
Lower the bed to the lowest position before allowing patient to sit on the bed.

Weight Limit: Never exceed the weight limit of your bed (combined weight of
user and items on bed.) Exceeding weight limit may cause bed to fail. The
capacity is on the head end of deck and on the serial number label.
Power Requirements: Electrical hazard may occur if device is plugged into
inadequate power supply. A power source of 120 VAC 50 to 60 Hertz with a
capacity of at least 15 Amperes must be available to operate the bed. A three
wire grounded receptacle must be supplied. A GFCI is recommended. (Max
Current Drawn by the bed is 9 Amperes)
Do not service this device without first unplugging the power cord.
Make sure the control module and the handset cords are properly positioned
before operating the bed. Do not allow either of these cords to get caught in
the moving members of the bed
Do not operate this device if the power cord or any of the cords between the
control module and the associated parts are cut, frayed for loosely connected
Do not use a bed with any missing or damaged parts
Never disassemble your Bariatric bed. If problems are found, contact ConvaQuip customer
service at 1-800-637-8436 or your local authorized ConvaQuip dealer.

3-Function Homecare Beds are designed for bariatric patients. The bed is ideal for long
term use in the home or nursing care centers. It is intended for all age groups with varying
medical and physical conditions. Total weight capacity of the bed is shown on page 14.
THREE 3-FUNCTIONS
1) Raise and lower head 2) Lift and lower leg and foot section 3) Elevate bed height
Power functions are powered by 24-volt DC electric actuators.
Electrical Power: 120 volt AC power transformer converts system to 24-volt DC.
Electrical actuators, handset, and transformer meet CE, UL, ETL & CSA listing.
Power plug: Three-prong hospital type plug, grounding meets NFPA standards.
Construction: Constructed entirely of steel, solid frame, powder coat painted.
Side Rails: Head end, two position, drop down style.
Foot End Side Rails (optional): two position, drop down style.
Casters: Heavy Duty Five 5 inch casters. Two individual locking-type (head end) and
two steer type (foot end)
Accessory sockets: One IV socket on each corner of bed.
Delivery: Bed frame is easily disassembled into two pieces for ease of handling.

Setup instructions for Split Frame Beds
To Assemble:
Step 1. Lock head & foot end casters
parallel to frame & oriented as
shown.
Step 2. Move bed into position as shown
and hook foot end frame over
head end frame round bar.
Step 3. Connect both actuator cables
from foot end of frame to head
end of frame.
Step 4. Swing lift handle out and slowly
lower bed. Keep both hands on
handgrips until bed has been
completely lowered to reduce
the risk from pinch areas.
Step 5. Insert quick release pins on both
sides of frame.

bed sections.
Step 2. Lock head & foot end casters
parallel to frame & oriented as
show.
Step 3. Remove quick release pins on
both sides of frame.
Step 4. Swing lift handle out and slowly
lift bed. Keep both hands on
handgrips until bed has been
completely lifted to reduce the
risk from pinch areas.
Step 5. Disconnect both actuator cables

1. Install the headboard posts in the square sockets provided at the head end with the board
closest to the mattress. (page 2)
2. Install the footboard posts in the square sockets provided at the foot end with the board
away from the mattress. (page 2)
3. Install the siderails as shown on page 2.
4. Install the lift handle with bolt and lock nut. Be sure that lift handle is in the correct
orientation (see picture below).
Perform the following checks before using the bed:
1. Do a careful walk around inspection of the bed. Look underneath the bed to make sure
there is nothing stored there. This area must be kept clear to avoid any interference with
bed parts, which move during operation.
2. Lock the casters (two individual lock and two steering control type casters) rotate
steering casters until they lock in place.
3. Plug the power cord into a 120 volt grounded socket with a capacity of at least 15
amperes. Using the handset, cycle the bed through all of its operations. (see pg 6) Make
sure that everyone (including you) is clear of the bed during these operations. See that:
a) All power bed operations work smoothly and stop in any desired position.
b) Bed height, angle of the leg lift and backrest can be adjusted properly.
4. Position the side rails, be sure they slide up and down properly
5. When you are satisfied that the bed is operating properly, instruct all personnel who may
be involved in the bed operation.
If problems are found, contact ConvaQuip customer service at 800-637-8436 or your authorized ConvaQuip dealer.
