WARNING / CAUTION / NOTICE SUMMARY
WARNING: Keep hands and feet clear of all moving parts.
WARNING: Do not allow small children on or near bed during operation.
WARNING: Do not allow this device to be operated by small children.
WARNING: When operating the hi/lo, knee, or back function of the bed, ALWAYS ensure that the
individual conned to the bed is positioned properly within the connes of the bed. DO NOT let any
extremities protrude over the side or between the bed rails when performing any functions.
WARNING: Ensure that body weight is evenly distributed over the surface of the bed. Do not lie, sit
or lean in such a way that your entire body weight is placed only on the raised head or foot sections
of the bed. This includes when assisting the user in repositioning or transferring in or out of bed.
WARNING: In order not to invalidate the warranty or create a hazardous condition resulting
in serious personal injury, GF Health Products, Inc. recommends the use of only Lumex
replacement parts.
WARNING: Before operating, ensure that the bed frame rivets are properly seated in the bed
end hooks; otherwise, personal injury or damage could result.
WARNING: Keep all moving parts free of obstructions (i.e. blankets/sheets, heating blan-
kets/pads, tubing, wiring, and other types of products).
WARNING: Ensure that Bed End Locking Hardware is installed in order to prevent personal
injury when moving the bed or using a bed-mount trapeze.
WARNING: WARNING/CAUTION labels applied to the bed outline hazards or unsafe prac-
tices that could result in personal injury and/or property damage; do not remove them.

2 INTRODUCTION, PATRIOT HOMECARE BED USER MANUAL
This manual contains assembly and maintenance instructions for your Model US0208 / US0208PL
Semi-Electric and US0458 / US0458PL Full-Electric / Low Patriot bed. Read the entire manual carefully before using your bed, and refer to it during use if you have questions.
THERMAL MOTOR PROTECTION
This product is powered by a quiet, efcient DC motor system. When the bed is plugged into a
power outlet, the electrical transformer is always energized in a stand-by condition. The Okimat
actuator casing may feel warm to the touch even when the bed is not being used; this is a normal
condition.
Thermal protection activation (protection against overheating caused by excessive or extended
periods of operation), which causes the bed to shut down operation when overheated, is a safety
feature of this product.
Causes of thermal protection activation include multiple or repeated adjustment of long duration,
or the use of multiple functions at one time. To ensure trouble-free operation, always allow a slight
pause between multiple adjustments, and avoid operating more than one function at a time. If
thermal protection activation occurs, the bed pendant hand control will not function. The thermal
protection will reset after a period of time dependent on the severity of the overheating. To shorten the reset time, temporarily unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
GRAVITY-DOWN FEATURE FOR HEAD AND KNEE ELEVATION
Patriot beds are equipped with a gravity-down safety feature. The motors push the head and knee
grid decks up, but do not pull the knee and head down. As the motor plunger retracts, the head
and knee lower freely, minimizing bed damage and/or personal injury from items caught under the
grid deck.
Info: When using telescoping deck-mount bed rails, the head and knee may not lower without
weight on the bed.
