WARNING: To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with
protective earth
Check back-up batteries every 3 months and replace new back-up batteries yearly.
Remove back-up batteries out of battery pack within 72 hours when equipment won’t be used.
WARNING: Pre-installing the back-up batteries into the pack will only drain the batteries and corrode the
contain points.
Do not to position THE BED to make it difficult to disconnect from supply mains
WARNING: Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer

to reduce RISK of injury due to falls.
Warning: POWER SUPPLY CORD may be damaged caused by inappropriate handling, e. g. by kinking,
shearing or other mechanical damages
Maximum Back Angle to horizontal is 65 degree. Maximum Knee Angle to horizontal is 43 degree.
Maximum Knee to Leg Angle is 120 degree.
Precautions shall be taken to avoid squeezing when routing cables from other equipment.

When removing the head and foot frame out of the box, do not separate
the two as there’s a motor cord attaching them. The Hi/Lo shaft is cable
tied to the bottom part of foot frame. Detach it and remove all packing
material. Semi electric homecare bed contains five main parts.
STANDARD COMPONENTS OPTIONAL COMPONENTS
1, Head /Foot Board 5, Half Side Bed Rails
2, Head/Foot Frame with Motor ( FOR 2020) 6, Full Side Bed Rails
3, Single Motor ( FOR 2010) 7, Standard Mattress
4, Hi-Lo Drive Shaft 8, Pressure Reduction Mattress

Assembly Instruction
1. First assemble the foot & head frame. It can be assembled with the foot
section (A) upside down, flat on the floor with the metal rods facing the floor,
or with the foot section on its side, whichever is easier. Motor or cranks should
be on the left side.
Figure 1.1 Figure 1.2
2. Temporarily remove the 2 hex bolts and nuts located in the middle joint of
the head frame. Pick up the head frame (B) and at a 75% angle fit the frame
hooks onto the two shoulder rivets on the side rail of the foot frame. Rotate
the head frame until it is lined up with the foot frame. Lock the hooks securely
onto the shoulder rivets.
Figure 2.1 Figure 2.2
-5-

3-1. For T2020 - Then rotate the bed to have the top setting facing up. Line up the two holes
on both ends of the frame, and re-secure the hex bolts in middle of frame on both sides.
3-2. For T2020 - Connect both the head and foot motor drive shafts to the lifting arms. Start
with the drive shafts on head frame A, and work your way to the one on foot frame B.
A. B.
Figure 3-1 Figure 3-2
3-3. For T2020 - Pull to release the cotter pin from the clevis holding pin. Align the drive
shaft hole with the oval holes on the lifting plate. Re-secure the holding pin on
both sides of the left plate. Then reattach the cotter pin to lock.
Continued on Step 5
Figure 3-3 Figure 3-3
-6-

4-1, For T2010 – Continued from Step 2, pull to release the cotter pin from the clevis holding
pin. Align the drive shaft hole with the holes on the lifting plate. Re-secure the holding pin on
both sides of the left plate. Then reattach the cotter pin to lock.
Repeat on Head Section.
Figure 4 -1 Figure 4-1
4-2, For T2010 – Installation of Motor and Hand Pen with bed frame:
A1, Slide locking covers (Foot and head section) out of motor.
A2, Align the opening on the head end of the motor with the flange on the head section of the
bed and insert the flange into the motor compartment. Then, with the palm of your hand, snap
the motor flush to the actuator bar.
Repeat on Foot Section.
Figure A-2 Figure A-3
A3, After the motor is installed, slide locking covers back on motor.

A4, Plug hand pendant into motor.
Figure A-4 Figure 4-3
4-3. For T2010 - Then rotate the bed to have the top setting facing up. Line up the two holes
on both ends of the frame, and re-secure the hex bolts in middle of frame on both sides.
Continued on Step 5
5. With the two frames connected and spring section of the frames facing up, slide the head
board and the foot board onto the frame corner plate rivets. All head boards are taller than the
foot boards.
Figure 5.1 Figure 5.2
6. The Hi/Lo shaft has 4 hole positioning adjustment on it. It’s designed to be a universal fit
with other style beds. For semi electric beds use the 2nd hole on the outer tube to line up with
the locking pin on the inner tube.
-8-

Figure 6
7. The hi/lo shaft has one end with a short shaft that is spring-loaded. Connect the spring-
loaded end of the long drive shaft onto the hand crank shaft located on the foot board, pull the
shaft towards bed end, and connect the other end of the drive onto the shaft, on the T-shape
gear box of the head board end.
Figure 7
8. A spare battery backup pack is outfitted in case of power failure.
For T2020 - It is located near the main control unit on the foot frame.
For T2010 - It is located on motor next to power cord.
The power packup is designed to raise and lower the bed up for emergencies use only.
Figure 8.1 (T2020) Figure 8.2 (T2010)
-9-

9. For T2020 The battery pack uses three household 9 volt batteries (not supplied).
For T2010 The battery pack uses one household 9 volt batteries (not supplied).
It is important to keep the battery pack vacant until the bed is needed. Pre-installing the
batteries into the pack will only drain the batteries and corrode the contact points.
