1 SAFETY
The safety statements presented in this chapter refer to the basic safety information that the operator of the Patriot Homecare Bed shall pay attention to and abide by. There are additional safety
statements in other chapters or sections, which may be the same as or similar to the following,
or specic to the operations. Please note the following special statements, used throughout this
manual, and their signicance:
WARNING: Indicates a potential hazard situation or unsafe practice that, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potential hazard situation or unsafe practice that, if not avoided,
could result in moderate or minor personal injury.
s NOTICE: Indicates a potential hazard or unsafe practice that, if not avoided, could result in
product or property damage.
Info: Provides application recommendations or other useful information to ensure that you get
the most from your product.
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.
WARNING: Ensure that the power cord DOES NOT get tangled around the bed, bed rails or legs
during normal operation of the bed.
WARNING: Do not leave the bed unattended when plugged in.
s NOTICE: The pendant hand control cord must be routed and secured properly to ensure that
the cord does NOT become entangled and eventually severed during use.
s NOTICE: When using nasal or masked type administering equipment, oxygen or air tubing
MUST be routed and secured properly to ensure that tubing does NOT become entangled
and eventually severed during normal operation of bed.

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.

MOTOR ASSEMBLY
WARNING: Assemble motor on bed as follows. While it is possible to
install the motor backwards, avoid it! Incorrect installation could cause
the bed to move in unexpected ways. Note that the motor ends are labeled
and embossed with head and foot symbols (shown at right). Ensure that
bed head and motor head, and bed foot and motor foot, are matched.

Motor assembly troubleshooting
Problems associated with improper motor installation are listed below, with appropriate x.
Problem Probable cause Fix
Head operates with knee control button and
knee operates with head control button
Knee lifting linkages bind against grid
deck, preventing knee deck from elevating.
Motor is installed backwards Remove motor and reverse it (see previ-
ous page)
Motor is installed backwards, enabling
knee to elevate too high and bind linkage
Remove motor and reverse it (see previous page)

FULL-ELECTRIC BED ONLY (US0458 / US0458PL): CASTER POSITION
Any full-electric Patriot bed can be used as either a standard-height or low-height bed by moving
the casters.
fig 1: casters mounted at
standard height
fig 2: casters mounted at low
height, bed in lowest position
fig 3: casters mounted at low
height, bed in elevated position
Standard (conventional) bed height
To achieve standard bed height, insert casters into outside legs, as shown in g. 1 above.
Low bed height
To achieve low bed height, insert casters into inner short legs, as shown in gs. 2 and 3 above.
When in the lowest position, the casters are engaged for bed movement, as shown in g. 2 above.
When elevated, the bed is off the casters and cannot be moved, as shown in g. 3 above.
Due to the clearances involved, only minor travel and movement are recommended in the low position. The casters can be moved to the outer legs to provide clearance if the bed must be moved
or rolled.

1. Insert one locking and one non-locking caster into bed end. Locking casters must be installed
diagonally from each other. See previous page for full-electric caster position options.
2. Standing directly in front of the bed end, position it as close to the bed as possible.
3. With one hand, reach over end and lift up the bed.
