WARNINgS AND CAuTIONS
The bed rails may become deformed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted on the bed rails. This bed rail
is not an assist rail for getting into or out of bed. DO NOT use the bed rails as push handles when moving the
bed.
The bed rails are NOT intended nor may be used for restraint purposes. If an individual is capable of injuring
himself/herself, a physician or a healthcare professional should be consulted for alternative means of safe
restraint.
Trapeze units must be positioned on a universal bed end as near as possible to the center point of the bed end.
The trapeze is to be used only in assisting the patient in repositioning or transferring in or out of the manual/
electric bed.
NEVER allow patients to use trapeze or traction units as a total individual weight support.
Improper use of some bed accessories (patient restraints, side rails, trapeze devices, etc.) can cause patient
injury or death. Consult your health care professional or the accessory manufacturer for proper use instructions.
If using optional bed side rails and bed extension kit, check to ensure they are properly and securely in place
BEFORE using the bed.
Individuals that cannot prevent themselves from rolling/climbing out of the bed may require alternative safe
means of restraint.
Replacement mattresses and bed rails with dimensions different than the original equipment supplied or
approved by Medline may not be interchangeable. Variations in bed side rail design and thickness, size or
density of the mattress could cause entrapment. Use ONLY authorized Medline replacement parts.
For semi-electric and full electric beds, always remove the manual crank before performing electronic functions.
If left in place, the crank will turn when the motor is on and could cause personal injury or damage to the bed.
When disassembling the bed, make sure all parts are in the lowest position.
Never operate the bed if it has a damaged cord or plug. If it is not working properly call a qualified electrician.
The beds are equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards.
Connect only to a three-prong outlet. Do not defeat the grounding safety feature by using a three-prong to two-
prong adapter. If necessary, have outlet ground reliability checked by a qualified electrician.
Never plug into an outlet that is greater than 120 Volts AC.
Keep all cords away from heated or hot surfaces.
Ensure all cables and cords are routed in a way such that they will not become entangled or pinched.
GENERAL CAUTIONS
ELECTRICAL CAUTIONS
When using liquids in or around the bed, caution should be taken to ensure that liquids of any
kind are not spilled. 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 around it dry thoroughly before using
the electric controls again.
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by or near children or physically
challenged individuals.
NEVER PERMIT ANYONE TO BE UNDER THE BED OR IN BETWEEN THE RAISED BED FRAME
COMPONENTS AT ANY TIME.
Never permit more than one person on/in the bed at any time.
Keep the bed a minimum of 12 inches away from any direct heat source.
When the bed is not going to be used for an extended period, UNPLUG electric bed from the wall
outlet.
DO NOT unplug the power cord from the junction box.
The bed is not designed to be used as a patient transport. When transporting a patient, use an
approved patient transport, otherwise injury or damage may result.
After assembly, test to make sure that all sections are properly and securely in place and operate
correctly BEFORE use.
Ensure that the head and foot spring sections are securely locked to each other and to the head
and foot-boards BEFORE use.
Ensure that the pendant and power cords are routed and secured properly so the cords do not
become entangled, pinched and/or severed during operation of the electric bed. NEVER operate
the bed if these cords are damaged.
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, etc. and other types of products using
electric cords which may get tangled around the bed, legs or optional side rails) or serious
injuries may occur.
Ensure the bed caster locks are properly engaged to prevent casters from moving whenever the
bed is stationary. 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 floor surfaces will allow the bed to move under some conditions. Use of
the bed on such floor surfaces must be evaluated by the care provider.
If any part of the bed is not working properly, call a qualified technician to examine and repair it.
Do not operate the bed with the HI/LO Crank Handle attached to bed otherwise serious injury
may occur.
ENTRAPMENT MAY OCCUR. Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper maintenance
and use of equipment is required to reduce the risk of entrapment. Variations in bed rail
dimensions, and mattress thickness, size or density could increase the risk of entrapment. Visit
the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn about the risks of entrapment.
Once patient assessment concludes that the patient’s condition increases the chance of
entrapment, the bed MUST be in the flat position when left unattended.

This can be accomplished by inserting the manual
crank into the foot end gear box receptacle and
turning clockwise until the bed end is at the correct
height.
2. Insert the crank into the head end receptacle and
raise the head end to the correct height.
2. With one hand, grasp the head spring frame and raise
it until rivets on the corner plates of the spring are at
the correct height to fit into the corner locks on the
headboard.
3. Tilt headboard backward slightly and the rivets should
slide into the corner locks more easily.
4. When the headboard is returned to its full upright
position, the headboard will lock into place.
5. Repeat the same procedure for the footboard.
