Assembly Instructions
Thank you for purchasing the SleepSafe Plus Safety Bed. With proper care, your bed will pro-
vide years of safe use. We strongly recommend that this bed be assembled using two peo-
ple. Everything necessary to assemble your bed is included in a special box marked
“Additional Parts Inside” which is located in the box containing the headboard and footboard.
Carefully unpack the contents of your bed and verify that all parts are included using the dia-
gram and chart below. Be sure to save the four foam shipping blocks used to pack-
age the electric frame. They will be needed to aid in assembly of your bed.

STEP 1
Determine which height setting is desired for
your bed. Two settings are available with
the lowest being 23-1/2” from the floor to
the top of the mattress and the highest being
27-1/2”. Attach the mounting brackets (#2)
using 8 1” Hex Bolts (#9) as shown at right
to the Side Panels (#5) Snug bolts but do
not tighten yet. Now, set the electric frame
(#1) onto the mounting brackets, aligning
the holes in the frame with the correspond-
ing bracket holes. Insert 4 4-1/2” hex bolts
(#10) through holes and attach 5/16” lock
nut (#11). When all bolts are in, tighten all
securely. Even up the spacing between the electric frame decking and each end of the
wood panels. Now tighten the 1” hex bolts attaching the wood panels to the mounting
brackets. Unstrap the remote control from the frame and set it out of the way.

STEP 2
Set side panel/frame assembly onto the 4 foam
shipping blocks (#15) as shown at left. Insert
12 barrel nuts (#17) into holes on each end of
the side panels. Install headboard (#3) and
footboard (#4) to side panel/frame assembly
(A) using the 12 long allen bolts (#8) provided.
(The barrel nuts should face the interior of the
bed) The headboard and footboard will be ele-
vated off the floor when installed. Tighten the
allen bolts using the 4mm allen wrench (#13)
provided in your hardware kit.
Install the 4 casters (#7) into the holes in the bottom of the headboard and footboard
legs.
You may now remove the foam spacers from underneath the frame.

STEP 3
Install the safety rails (#5) by inserting
the black hex bolt pivot pins into the
lower plastic strikes installed on each leg
as indicated by “A” in the diagram. The
rails can then be tilted up into the locked
position. The safety rails should be in-
stalled so that the “clean” side of the
rails face the occupant of the bed when
closed. (Screws will be visible from the
outside)
ALWAYS REMOVE AND INSTALL SAFETY RAILS WHILE THEY ARE IN THE
LOWERED POSITION
ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BRASS PINS ARE LOCKED IN
PLACE TO PREVENT THE SAFETY RAIL FROM OPENING UNINTENTIONALLY
NOTE CONCERNING BEDS WITH INSTALLED PADDING
If your bed was shipped with padding installed, you will note that it is attached using
Velcro to allow for easy removal for cleaning. If you remove the padding for any rea-
son, it is important that it be re-installed before the bed is occupied. The reason for this
is that, with the padding installed, there is virtually no space around the perimeter of the
mattress, greatly reducing the risk of entrapment. With any padding removed, however,
a space is created between the mattress and bed increasing the entrapment risk. Al-
ways keep the full padding installed, even if it is not required by the occupant of the
bed.
Conversion kits are available to install or remove padding.

SAFETY RAIL ADJUSTMENT
Each safety rail is pre-adjusted at our factory,
but it may become necessary to adjust the
safety rail height over time to provide the best
performance. To determine if your safety rails
need adjustment, look at each brass locking
pin when the safety rail is in the locked posi-
tion as indicated by “A” in Fig. 1. The pin
should be centered in the hole of the strike. If
it is not, note which way the rail needs to
move, then remove the safety rail. Use the #15 torx
wrench to remove the lower plastic strike from the
leg. Turn the set screw by inserting the #10 torx
wrench as shown in Fig. 2. Adjust the screw up or
down depending on which way the safety rail should
move. Reinstall the strike and safety rail and check
the fit. Repeat as necessary.
If the safety rail has movement from side to side
when it is installed, you may adjust that fit as well.
With the safety rail in the locked position, check the
spacing between the end of the safety rail and the
headboard leg and footboard leg. The spacing should
be even, with little side to side play in the safety rail.
If there is play, simple remove the safety rail and turn
the black hex bolt using the 1/4” hex wrench pro-
vided (#14). Referring to Fig. 3 below, turning the
bolt in the direction of “A” will increase the play in the
rail while turning the bolt in the direction of “B” will
decrease the play in the rail. It is best to adjust each
side a little at a time until the desired fit is reached.

Use & Care Guide
Operation
Plug in your new electric frame into a
standard wall outlet. The electric frame is
operated using a cordless RF (radio fre-
quency) handset. Fig. 1 to the right
shows the basic operation of all functions
on your handset. This handset is not like
a typical remote control such as your tele-
vision remote in that it does not need to
be pointed at the bed to operate. This is
a convenient feature, but be aware that
the handset can operate the bed from
another room, out of sight of the patient
in the bed. Please keep the handset in a
secure location, near the bed.
* If the handset indicator lights up, but the
bed does not operate, try changing the posi-
tion of the channel switch on the end of the
remote. This should only be an issue the first
time you use your bed.
** The handset requires 3 “AAA” Batteries. Replace the batteries whenever the bed responds in an unusual
manner.
Maintenance
Periodic checks of the tightness of all fasteners is recommended for product stability and safety.
Be sure to retain these instructions as well as the tools provided in the event that any minor adjust-
ments should be required in the future.
All bed surfaces should be cleaned with water and mild detergent using a soft cloth. Avoid abra-
sives and solvents.
