INTRODUCTION
All information and specications in this manual are current at the time of printing.
Please read this manual, including the following Warning / Caution Summary, in full
before using your homecare bed. Always consult your professional healthcare advi-
sors for their recommendations about safety, and never hesitate to ask for their as-
sistance.
Please heed the signicance of the following special statements used throughout this
manual:
Note: Special helpful information set off from the text.
CAUTION: Damage to equipment is possible.
WARNING: Personal injury could occur.
WARNING / CAUTION SUMMARY
CAUTION: WARNING/CAUTION labels applied to the bed describe hazards or unsafe
practices that could result in personal injury and/or property damage. Do not remove
such labels.
WARNING: Your Bariatric Homecare Bed, engineered to provide you with years of
reliable operation, is for home use only. It is not intended for hospital use.
WARNING: This device is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for protection
against possible shock hazard. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is the bed user’s responsibility and obligation to contact a qualied electrician to
have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not modify the bed's
plug in any way.
WARNING: If an extension cord must be used, use a three-conductor cord with the
same or higher electrical rating as bed cord, with ground, properly wired, in good
electrical condition, and keep it as short as possible.
WARNING: Do not use the bed if the cord or plug is damaged or defective. Use of a
defective cord or plug could result in re or electric shock.
WARNING: Locate all bed cords so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
WARNING: Do not use explosive gases near bed. Possible re hazard exists when
used with oxygen-administering equipment other than nasal or masked type.
WARNING: When using liquids in or around the bed, use caution to ensure that liquids
of any kind are not spilled. If a liquid is spilled in or around the bed, unplug the bed
immediately. Clean up spill and allow bed or area around bed to dry thoroughly before
using the electric controls again.
WARNING: Ensure that patient’s body weight is evenly distributed over the entire
sleeping surface of the bed, and that the patient does not lie, sit, or lean in such a
manner that the entire body weight is placed only on raised head or foot sections
of the bed (this also applies to those providing assistance in repositioning or
transferring the patient into or out of the bed).

4 GF0500006RevD07
WARNING: Do not move or push the bed while it is in an elevated position; always
lower the bed to its lowest position before moving.
WARNING: Ensure that the casters are unlocked and free from restriction before
moving the bed.
WARNING: Keep hands and feet clear of all moving parts.
WARNING: Never permit anyone under the bed at any time.
WARNING: Do not leave the bed unattended when plugged in.
WARNING: Do not allow small children on or near the bed during operation; do not
allow small children to operate the bed.
WARNING: When operating any of the bed’s movement functions, always ensure
that the patient is positioned properly within the connes of the bed. Do not let any
extremities protrude over the side or between the bed rails when performing any
function.
WARNING: The Bariatric Homecare Bed has been designed to accommodate a
maximum patient weight of 600 lbs. under normal operating conditions.
WARNING: Do not use with bed-mount trapeze or bed-mount traction devices.
WARNING: Do not use bed as a patient transport.
WARNING: Do not use unauthorized side rails, parts, accessories, or adapters other
than those authorized by GF Health Products, Inc.
CAUTION: The pendant hand control cord must be routed and secured properly to
ensure that the cord does not become entangled and eventually severed during use.
Ensure that electrical cords do not get tangled around the bed, side rails or legs
during normal bed operation.
CAUTION: When using nasal or masked-type administration equipment, oxygen or air
tubing must be routed and secured properly to ensure that tubing does not become
entangled and eventually severed during normal bed operation.
CAUTION: Keep all moving parts free of obstructions (i.e. blankets, sheets, heating
blankets/pads, tubing, wiring, and other objects).
Service
WARNING: The bed's electronic system contains no serviceable parts. Do not open
the motors, pendant hand control, or junction box; only an authorized equipment
provider or factory-trained personnel may perform service or adjustments on these
components.
Radio Frequency Interference
WARNING: Most electronic equipment is inuenced by Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI). ALWAYS exercise caution with regard to the use of portable communications
equipment in the area around such equipment.

HANDLING
GF Health Products, Inc. Freight Policy
For Your Protection, Read Carefully
The carrier accepted this merchandise “in good condition” and is responsible for
safe delivery.
Before signing the freight bill, inspect the shipment carefully for damage or missing
pieces.
Apparent Loss or Damage
Should visual inspection show loss or damage, this MUST be noted on the freight bill
and signed by the carrier’s agent. Failure to do so may result in the carrier failing to
honor the claim. Please contact the carrier to obtain the paperwork necessary to le
a claim.
Concealed Loss or Damage
If damage is discovered after delivery is made, a concealed damage claim must be
entered with the freight carrier. When this occurs, make a written request to the car-
rier for inspection. This request for inspection must be made within 15 days of deliv-
ery. The carrier will provide all paperwork necessary to le a concealed damage or
loss claim, since such damage or loss is the carrier’s responsibility.
Unpacking
Note: Unless the bed is to be used immediately, retain containers and packing materials
for storage until bed use is required.
1. Check for obvious damage to the carton or its contents. If damage is evident,
please notify the carrier and your Graham-Field equipment provider.
2. Remove all loose packing from the carton.
3. Carefully remove all the components from the carton.
Inspection
WARNING: Do not operate bed controls before assembling bed.
1. Examine each item carefully for nicks, dents, scratches or other damages.
2. Inspect all cords for cuts or damage to the cord and/or plug.
3. Inspect the junction box for any damage to the connectors.
4. Ensure that the motor plugs are in good working order and t properly into the
junction box.
Storage
Unless the bed is to be used immediately, retain containers and packing materials
for storage until bed use is required. Store the repackaged bed in a dry area. DO NOT
place anything on top of the repackaged bed.

ing care to keep the rivets and hooks engaged.
WARNING: Before continuing, ensure that the head section rivets are properly seated
in the foot section hooks; otherwise, personal injury and/or property damage may
result.
Lay out the trusses that were packed with the head section to prepare for instal-
lation. Locate shoulder bolts on each side of the frame for mounting each truss
(two shoulder bolts on each side, as shown in Assembly 3 below).
