Depending on severity of the initial overheating, this could
take up to 30 minutes.
Allow a slight pause between adjustments and avoid pressing
multiple buttons at the same time. If pendant buttons are de-
pressed too rapidly or multiple buttons are pressed at the same
time, the desired feature may not activate. Simply release the
pendant button, permit a slight pause and then activate the
next operation.
ALWAYS remove manual crank(s) before performing elec-
tronic functions. Otherwise, the crank(s) will turn when the
motor is on and could cause personal injury or damage to the
bed.
Always unplug the bed from the electrical outlet before clean-
ing.
DO NOT open assemblies such as the motors, pendant, junc-
tion boxes or gear boxes. No user serviceable parts are inside.
Only qualified technicians are permitted to repair these parts.
If unqualified individuals perform any work on these beds, the
warranty is void.
DO NOT place pendant under or between objects. This may
unintentionally press the buttons and may cause injury or
damage.
Electronic equipment may be influenced by Radio Frequency
Interference (RFI). Caution should be exercised with regard
to the use of portable communications equipment in the area
around such equipment. If RFI causes erratic behavior, unplug
the electric bed IMMEDIATELY. Leave unplugged while
transmission is in progress.
Ensure all cables and cords are routed such that they will not
become entangled or pinched. Otherwise damage or injury
may result.
If a button on the pendant does not release or sticks, the bed
spring will not stop moving.
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 thor-
oughly before using the electric controls again.
Inspect the covering of the bed's control panel and the patient
control panel to assure that the covering is not cracked or
damaged.
Keep all electrical cords away from heated or hot surfaces.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
NEVER operate if the unit has a damaged cord or plug. If it is
not working properly, call a qualified technician for examina-
tion and repair.
NEVER operate this bed if it has a damaged cord or plug, if
it is not working properly, if it has been dropped, damaged,
or dropped into water. Return the bed to a service center for
examination and repair.
On Full Electric beds, the Hi/Lo crank MUST be removed
before the bed is used. Failure to remove the crank may cause
damage or personal injury.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Grounding reli-
ability depends upon a properly grounded wall outlet.
The pendant and power cords must be routed and secured
properly to ensure that the cords DO NOT become entangled,
pinched and/or severed during operation of the electric bed.
Unplug from the outlet before servicing.
Unplug the power cord from its power source before perform-
ing any maintenance on the manual/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.
When using an extension cord, use only a three wire extension
cord having at least 16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire
and the same or higher electrical rating as the device being
connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock. Three to two prong adapters
should not be used. Use of three prong adapters can result in
improper grounding and present a shock hazard to the user.
When using nasal or masked type oxygen administering
equipment, the oxygen or air tubing MUST be routed and
secured properly to ensure that the tubing does not become
entangled and/or severed during normal operation of the bed.
DO NOT use near explosive gases.
Possible fire hazard when used with oxygen administering
equipment other than nasal or masked type.
Use masked or nasal type oxygen administering equipment
only in conjunction with this bed. The use of ANY other type
of oxygen administering equipment can result in a fire hazard.
Before connecting/disconnecting the connections at the
junction box, make sure the cable lock is removed by lightly
depressing on the end tabs and lifting. After connectors are
plugged in, route all cables into the cable lock slots and snap
the cable lock in place. When installing any connectors into
the junction box, be sure the cable lock is secure after installa-
tion - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT force the connector into the junction box, otherwise
- injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT unplug power cord from junction box.
DO NOT unplug power cord from motor housing.
Body weight should be evenly distributed over the surface of
the bed. DO NOT lay, sit or lean in such a way that your entire
body weight is placed only on raised head or foot sections of
