oor surfaces such as these MUST be evaluated by the care provider.
• The initial set up of this bed must be performed by a qualied technician.
• The total weight limit of the ProBasics full-electric bed (including
accessories, mattress, occupant and any other person/object positioned
on the bed) is 450 pounds (204 kg.); 350 pounds (158 kg) patient weight.
• A safety feature of this bed model includes protection against
overheating caused by excessive or extended periods of operation.
Depending on the duration, this will include multiple/repeated
adjustments or the use of multiple functions at the same time. To ensure
trouble-free operation, ALWAYS allow a slight pause between multiple
adjustments and AVOID pressing multiple function buttons at a time.
If thermal protection is activated, the bed will not respond to pendant
commands. To resolve this, release the pendant button and let the bed
sit for several minutes. This will reset the protection function time to and
restore bed function. Depending on the degree of the overheating, this
may take up to 30 minutes.
• ALWAYS remove manual crank(s) before performing electronic functions
or using the bed. If not removed, the crank(s) will turn when the motor is
on and this could cause personal injury or damage to the bed. ALWAYS
unplug the bed from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• DO NOT open assemblies such as the motors, pendant, junction boxes
or gear boxes. There are no user serviceable parts. Only qualied

WARNINGS.
technicians are permitted to repair these parts. If unqualied individuals
perform any work on these beds, the warranty is void.
• After use, some permanent deformation of the bed under load may
occur. This is normal and expected unless it affects the function of the
bed. Slight sagging or bending at the center of the bed after use does
not indicate a safety risk/defect.
• DO NOT place pendant under or between objects. This may cause
the unintentional activation of the bed features and may cause injury
or damage.
• If a button on the pendant does not release or sticks, the bed spring
will not stop moving. Inspect the covering of the bed’s control panel
and the patient control panel to assure that the covering is not cracked
or damaged.
• ALWAYS keep all electrical cords away from heated or hot surfaces.
• NEVER operate if the unit has a damaged cord or plug. If the bed is
not working properly, discontinue use and call a qualied technician for
examination and repair.
• Refer all servicing to qualied personnel ONLY. Grounding reliability
depends upon a properly grounded wall outlet. ALWAYS unplug the bed
from the outlet before servicing or performing any maintenance on the
electric bed.
• DO NOT unplug the power cord from the junction box. Damage to cord
will result.
• Use caution when disconnecting the pendant, DO NOT press pendant
buttons.
• When bed is not to be used for an extended period, unplug electric bed
from the wall outlet.
