WARNING Close supervision by an adult user who has read and understands this User
Manual is required when the bed is used around children or others who have not or
cannot read and/or understand this User Manual.
WARNING The bed mattress must be properly sized to meet entrapment zone
dimensional guidelines published by the Food and Drug Administration.
WARNING Do not spill or spray liquid on the bed. Excessive liquid on the bed can
result in an electric shock hazard. In the event of a liquid spill or excessive liquid on the
bed, unplug the bed immediately. Remove excess liquid and allow bed to dry thoroughly
before restoring power.
WARNING Never permit anyone under the bed while the bed is being used. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury.
WARNING Never operate the bed if a cord or plug is damaged, or it is not working
properly. Contact Qualified Service Personnel for inspection and/or repair. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury.
WARNING Ensure the main power cord is routed where it is not pinched either under or
beside the bed. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
CAUTION Ensure the grounding cable of the control box is securely fastened to the
frame. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
CAUTION If a handset is used, the cord must be routed and secured properly to ensure
that cord does not become entangled. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage
or personal injury.
CAUTION Keep all moving parts free of obstruction (i.e. blankets, sheets, pads, tubing,
etc.)
CAUTION Never remove any labels applied to the bed. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
CAUTION Do not exceed the maximum allowable weight capacity on this bed. The
maximum weight is the sum of the resident/patient, mattress, bedding material and

CAUTION Keep the bed in low position when the occupant is unattended. High bed
positions increase the risk of injury from falling when getting in or out of bed, or while
reclined.

and not in a position where they can be trapped or pinched by the support arms and assist
bars when adjusting head and knee elevation.
CAUTION Keep moving parts of bed free of obstructions, including bedding, heating
pads, tubes, cords and wires. Items caught in moving parts may be crushed, cut or pulled
during bed adjustment.

WARNING Always confirm the side rail and assist bars are locked in the raised position.
Improperly locked support arms and assist bars can result in a fall hazard due to sudden
unexpected movement.

3. Now that the wire ties have been removed, locate the two 7/16-14 x 4 ½” bolts. Using
your 5/8” wrench and ratchet both will need to be removed in order to separate foot

not discard these bolts; they will be used to assemble the bed. Once the
mechanism is removed, place it in a safe area until bed assembly.
5. Locate the next two 7/16-14 x 4 ½” bolts to be removed. Remove both bolts to release
the head section of the bed from the foot section. Do not discard the nuts and bolts.

removed from the frame. Each of the frames should be lined up properly so that these can
return to the holes they previously were in. Slide each one back into the holes and firmly
tighten the nuts. Once this is complete the bed is mechanically assembled.
