Install the head end of the spring loaded Hi/Lo
Shaft by pulling back and then releasing it into

plugged in and connect a 9V battery (sold separately). This will allow the Motor
to be operated to return to the bed to the flat position in the event of a power
failure.

of the Motor and make sure the
two Motor blocks are retracted. If
not, press the “down” button on
the pendant until retracted (Fig. 5).
Raise the Head Spring to the highest position, align the head end of the Motor
with the flange on the actuator bar and press until Motor assembly snaps into
place.
Figure 6
Once the head section of the motor is attached, return the bed to the flat
position and repeat for the foot end of the motor.
Once motor is completely attached, slide
the locking caps back into place (Fig. 6.)

Ensure the mattress is centered on the frame to minimize risk of entrapment when using bed
rails. Visit FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn more about the risk of entrapment.
ALWAYS lock the caster locks when transferring into or out of bed. Inspect the caster locks
BEFORE using the bed to ensure the locks function properly. Some floor surfaces will allow
the bed to move even with casters properly locked. Use of the bed on such floor surfaces
must be evaluated by the care provider.
Never plug bed into an outlet that is greater than 120V AC.
Keep the bed and all cords a minimum of 12 inches away from any direct heat source or wall
to prevent damage.
If a liquid is spilled in or around the electric bed, UNPLUG THE BED IMMEDIATELY. Clean the
spill and let the bed and/or area around it dry thoroughly before plugging it in and using the
electric controls again.
UNPLUG electric bed from the wall outlet when not in use for an extended period.
Never permit more than one person on the bed at any time.
Body weight should be evenly distributed over the surface of the bed. Do not sit or lean
entire body weight only on raised head or foot sections of the bed, including when
repositioning or transferring in our out of bed.
NEVER PERMIT ANYONE TO BE UNDER THE BED AT ANY TIME.
The bed is not designed to be used as a patient transport. When transporting a patient, use
an approved patient transport to prevent personal injury or property damage.
DO NOT allow extremities to extend beyond the sides or between the bed rails when
performing normal functions of the bed.
Improper use of some bed accessories (patient restraints, side rails, trapeze devices, etc.)
can cause patient injury or death. Consult a healthcare professional or the accessory
manufacturer for proper instructions.
Keep all moving parts free of obstructions during operation of the bed (i.e. blankets, sheets,
heating pads, tubing, wiring, etc.)
If using optional bed side rails and/or a bed extensions kit, check to ensure they are properly
and securely installed BEFORE using the bed.
Optional side rails are NOT intended to be used as a restraint. A physician or healthcare
professional should be consulted for an alternative means of safe restraint. Use only
authorized Rhythm Healthcare, LLC / Lifestyle Mobility Aids replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement mattresses and bed rails other than those approved by Rhythm
Healthcare, LLC / Lifestyle Mobility Aids may not be interchangeable and variations in design
and size could lead to entrapment. Visit FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn more
about the risk of entrapment.
Do not use near explosive gases. May be a fire hazard when used near oxygen administering
equipment other than nasal or masked type units.
When using nasal or masked type oxygen administering equipment, tubing must be secured
