GENERAL WARNINGS
Notices in this manual apply to hazards or unsafe
practices that could result in personal injury and/or
property damage.
To ensure user safety in operating this Home
Care Bed, all warnings, safety information, and
instructions must be followed. Failure to do so may
result in serious bodily injury or damage to the
bed.
Once assembled for operational use, if any part
of the bed is not working properly, call a qualied
technician to examine and repair it.
Routine cleaning and electrical inspection should
be performed by the user.
All repair and maintenance on the bed should
be performed by a qualied technician. After any
adjustments, repairs, or services are performed
and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely.
Note to technicians: Do not service the bed
without rst reading and understanding this
manual.
If you are unable to understand the warnings,
cautions, or the instructions, contact an
authorized customer service sales rep or
dealer before using this equipment, otherwise
injury or property damage may result.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
Inspect all parts for shipping damage before
assembly and use.
Do not use any part or component that has been
damaged.
Contact the shipping carrier immediately for
instructions on reporting concealed shipping
damage.
Close supervision is necessary when this
product is used by or near children or physically
challenged individuals.
Assembly: Ensure that the head and foot spring
sections are securely locked to each other and to
the head and foot-boards BEFORE use.
After assembly, test to make sure that all of the
bed sections are properly and securely installed
and are operating correctly BEFORE use.
Ensure that the pendant and power cords are
routed and secured properly so that the cords do
not become entangled, pinched, and/or severed
during operation of the electric bed or inhibit
maneuvering around the bed. NEVER operate the
bed if these cords are damaged.
Ensure the mattress is centered on the frame. This
will minimize the risk of the occupant becoming
trapped between the mattress and any bed rail
being used.
To prevent casters from moving whenever the
bed is stationary, ensure the bed caster locks are
properly engaged.
ALWAYS lock the caster locks when transferring
into or out of the bed. Inspect the caster locks
BEFORE using the bed to ensure the locks
function adequately.
Even with casters properly locked, some oor
surfaces may allow the bed to move under some
conditions. Use of the bed on such oor surfaces
must be evaluated by the care provider.

GENERAL WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL WARNING
Ensure all cables and cords are routed in a way
that they will not become entangled, pinched, or
trampled.
Never plug into an outlet with a voltage greater
than 120 Volts AC.
Never operate the bed if it has a damaged cord
or plug. If the bed is not working properly, call a
qualied technician.
Unplug the power cord from the wall BEFORE
performing any maintenance on the bed. After
installing any connectors into the junction box, be
sure the cable plug is secure—otherwise injury or
damage may occur.
DO NOT force connectors into the junction,
otherwise injury or damage may occur.
Keep all cords away from heated or hot surfaces
(i.e. radiators, heating pads, portable gas heaters).
Do not open assemblies such as the motor, hand
control unit, junction box, or electrical control box.
There are no user serviceable parts inside these
components. Only trained service personnel
are qualied to repair these parts. If uncertied
individuals perform any work on these beds, the
warranty is voided.
Take caution to ensure that no liquids are spilled
on or near the bed. If a liquid is spilled in or around
the electric bed, unplug the bed immediately
before cleaning. Clean up the spill and let the bed
or area dry thoroughly before using the electric
controls again.
When the bed is not used for an extended period,
UNPLUG the cord from the wall outlet.
WEIGHT WARNING
Total weight capacity is 450 lb. excluding additional
weight from rails, mattress, and other accessories.
Suggested patient weight capacity is 400 lb.
Never permit more than one person on/in the bed
at any time.
Body weight should be evenly distributed over the
surface of the bed. Do not lay, sit, or lean in such a
way that the patient’s entire body weight is placed
only on the raised head or foot sections of the bed.
This includes when repositioning or transferring a
patient in or out of bed.
POSITIONING THE BED
NEVER PERMIT ANYONE TO BE UNDER
THE BED OR IN BETWEEN THE RAISED BED
FRAME COMPONENTS AT ANY TIME.
Be sure that the bed is free and clear of all
obstructions for full range of motion. Damage to
the unit and wall will occur if the bed contacts the
wall, chair, rail, or other obstruction while in motion.
Be sure to check that all cords are not pinched,
stretched, or in any way stressed. Never wind
cords around the bed or other objects for any
reason. Never allow cords to fall under the casters.
The bed is not designed to be used for patient
transport. When transporting a patient, use an
approved patient transport, otherwise injury or
damage may result.
When operating the bed, always ensure that the
individual in the bed is properly positioned within
the bed. DO NOT allow extremities to extend
beyond the sides or between the bed rails.
Keep the bed a minimum of 12 inches (30.48 cm)
away from any direct heat source or wall.

GENERAL WARNINGS
ACCESSORY CAUTIONS
Improper use of some bed accessories (patient
restraints, side rails, trapeze devices, etc.) can
cause patient injury or death. Consult a health
care professional or the accessory manufacturer
for proper use instructions.
Keep all moving parts and all drive shafts free
of obstructions during operation of the bed. (i.e.
blankets/sheets, heating blankets/pads, tubing,
wiring, or any products using electric cords which
may get tangled around the bed, legs, or optional
side rails).
If using optional bed side rails, check to ensure
they are properly and securely installed BEFORE
using the bed.
Individuals who cannot be prevented from rolling/
climbing out of the bed may require alternative
safe means of restraint.
Optional side rails are NOT intended to be used
as a restraint and may be used only if medically
necessary as documented in the resident’s
medical records. A physician or healthcare
professional should be consulted for an alternative
means of safe restraint.
Replacement mattresses and bed rails with
dimensions different than the original equipment
supplied or approved may not be interchangeable.
Variations in bed side rail design, and thickness,
size, or density of the mattress could lead to
entrapment. Use ONLY authorized replacement
parts and accessories.
OXYGEN WARNING
Do not use near explosive gases. This may cause
a re hazard when used with oxygen administering
equipment other than nasal or masked type.
Use ONLY mask or nasal-type oxygen
administering equipment around the bed. The
use of any other type of oxygen administering
equipment may result in a re hazard.
When using nasal or masked type administering
equipment, oxygen or air tubing must be routed
and secured properly to ensure that tubing does
not become entangled or severed during normal
operation of the bed.
DISASSEMBLY OF THE BED
When disassembling the bed, make sure all parts
are in the lowest position.
