SECTION 1-GENERAL GUIDELINES Operating Information Check all parts for shipping damage and test before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use. Contact a qualified technician for further instruction. After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Close supervision is necessary when the electric bed is used by or near children and physically challenged individuals. DO NOT let any individual underneath the bed or in between the raised bed frame components at anytime. When bed is not to be used for an extended period, unplug electric bed from the wall outlet. Keep the product a minimum of 12 inches away from any direct heat source. DO NOT unplug power cord from junction box. If a liquid is spilled in or around the electric bed, unplug the electric bed before cleaning. Clean up the spill and allow the electric bed or the area around the electric bed to dry thoroughly before using the electric controls again. The electric 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. When operating/moving electric beds, ALWAYS ensure that the individual utilizing the bed is positioned properly within the confines of the bed. DO NOT let any extremities protrude over the side or between the bed rails when performing these functions. After the electric bed has been assembled, ALWAYS test to make sure that all sections of the electric bed are properly and securely in place before using. Make sure head and foot springs/sections are connected securely to the universal bed ends before use. NEVER operate the unit if these cords are damaged. If the unit is not working properly, call a qualified technician to examine the unit and repair it. Keep all moving parts, including the main frame, mattress deck (head and foot springs/sections) and all drive shafts, free of obstruction (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, bed rails or legs) during operation of the electric bed. The electric bed is equipped with locking casters. When transferring into or out of the electric bed, ALWAYS lock the locking caster(s). Inspect the wheel locks for correct locking action before actual use. Even with casters properly locked, some flooring surfaces such as tile or wood, will allow the bed to move under some conditions. Use on surfaces such as these MUST be evaluated by the care provider. Ensure that all four casters are locked and that the bed does not move before transferring. DO NOT transfer occupant if bed is not stable. Part No 1143215 11 BAR750
