Safety precautions and usage statements
This is normal. During operation, the lift arm wheels make contact with the
platform support of the base. This contact may result in metal on metal or
metal on plastic contact. This applies slight tension on the moving components
and resonance is reduced to a minimum level. If excessive noise or vibration is
experienced, reverse the movement action (up or down) of the base with the
remote control. This should realign the base's activating mechanisms to the
proper operational position. In normal base operation, the wheels, which allow
the bed to maintain its distance from the wall, will make contact with the steel
platform supports of the base creating a contact noise. When entering, exiting
or shifting weight on the base, this contact noise may be audible as the wheels
make contact . This is normal .
MATERIALS
Ergo adjustable bases are constructed from various materials including woods,
metals, plastics and fabrics. Tension, pressure or movement applied to the
frame, platform or shroud through general use may create an audible sound.
MASSAGE OPERATION AND LOCATION ENVIRONMENT
The massage feature will emit a tone during operation. This is normal. As the
massage intensity level is increased, the tone will intensify. The volume of
this tone is directly related to the location environment. For example, when
demonstrated in a show room, the surrounding environmental noise will cover
some of the massage noise. However, when installed in a home setting with
wooden floors, carpeted or not, the massage volume will be more noticeable.
To minimize this resonance, place a piece of carpet, or rubber caster cups, under
each leg or caster of the base. It is possible to experience vibration or noise
from the exterior bed frame, headboard brackets, headboards or footboards if
mounting bolts are not firmly tightened.
Levels 1-3 of massage intensity represent the revolutions of the motor per
minute. Level 3 provides the maximum number of RPMs. However, this
does not mean that the feeling of vibration is the strongest. Depending on
the mattress material, thickness, and positioning of the user, the feeling of
vibrations will differ. We encourage the user to find the massage intensity
setting that suits them best. It is important to understand the physics of
vibrations. Just as an engine may run rough during idle, as the RPMs increase,
the vibrations change concurrently.

TOLERANCE
All Ergo adjustable foundations, depending on make and model, are designed
and manufactured to perform and function within designated quality control
parameters. Bases are subject to meticulous and rigorous inspections during
the quality control process to ensure bases will operate within these standards
during normal operating use. Normal operating use is defined as the following:
Adjustable foundation is to be operated with a mattress and load. Testing
procedures require lifetime cycle tests with up to 120kg distributed load. The
angle (designated "α" in figure 1) between the back section and the flat section
for various configurations of the mattress support platform shall be ± 3°, which
translates to a tolerance of up to 1 ½".
The angle (designated "β" in
figure 1) between the flat section
and foot section for various
configurations of the mattress
support platform shall be ± 3°,
which translates to a tolerance
of up to ¾". Any adjustable
foundation deemed to be within
these allocated tolerances is
considered to have met the
manufacturer's quality control
standards.
THAT "NEW PRODUCT" SMELL:
Some people notice a slight odor to their new adjustable base—this can come
from our material manufacturing process. This smell is normal and usually
disappears before the product reaches you. Sometimes, however, this smell may
still be noticeable. It usually disappears after a few weeks, providing adequate
ventilation of the product and the environment.
BREAK IN PERIOD:
You can speed up the break-in period by simply spending time in the adjustable
bed through activities such as reading, watching TV or playing with the kids or
grandkids. The extra movement will help the adjustable base respond to weight
and temperature changes. Some of the materials in our adjustable bases such
as the woods, metals and plastics used in the platform, frame and components
