ADVISORY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
This PowerBASE™ adjustable bed has been quality engineered with design features to assure
comfort and safety when operated properly.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
This product is equipped with a polarized or
grounded electrical power cord. The power
cord will only fit into a grounded, electrical
surge protection device (not included) or a
grounded electrical outlet.
FOR OPTIMUM ADJUSTABLE BED
OPERATION, USE A GROUNDED,
ELECTRICAL SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE
(NOT INCLUDED). FAILURE TO USE A
SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE COULD
COMPROMISE SAFETY OR CAUSE
PRODUCT MALFUNCTION.
WARRANTY WARNING
Do not open any control boxes, motors or
hand control devices (with the exception
of the hand control and power down
box battery compartments). The product
warranty will be void if these components
are tampered with. Do not attempt to alter
component wiring or adjust or modify
the structure of the product in any way or
the warranty will be void. Any repair or
replacement of adjustable bed parts must be
performed by authorized personnel.
LUBRICATION
This product is designed to be maintenance
free. The lift motors are permanently
lubricated and sealed—no additional
lubrication is required. Do not apply lubricant
to lift motor lead screws or any nylon nuts or
the bed may inadvertently creep downward
from the elevated position.
PRODUCT RATINGS
The bed lift motors are not designed for
continuous use. Reliable operation and full
life expectancy will be realized as long as
the lift motors do not operate any more than
five (5) minutes over a thirty (30) minute
period, or approximately 15% duty cycle.
Note: massage equipped beds are not
designed for continuous, extended massage
operation. Massage systems are rated for
a maximum of 2 hours of use within any 6
hour period. Any attempt to circumvent or
exceed product ratings will shorten the life
expectancy of the product and may void the
warranty.
The recommended weight restrictions for
PowerBASE™ adjustable beds are as follows:
AC equipped - 600 lb (272 kg) all sizes; DC
equipped - 450 lb (204 kg) all sizes. The bed
will structurally support the recommended
weights distributed evenly across the
head and foot sections. This product is not
designed to support or lift this amount in the
head or foot sections alone. Note: exceeding
the recommended weight restrictions could
damage the adjustable bed and void the
warranty.
For best performance, consumers should
enter and exit the adjustable bed with the
bed in the flat (horizontal) position.
SIT ON THE HEAD OR FOOT SECTIONS WHILE
IN THE RAISED POSITION.
DO NOT
UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listed
components.
CFR 1633 approved for use with most
mattresses.
Made in USA.

ADVISORY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
This PowerBASE™ adjustable bed has been quality engineered with design features to assure
comfort and safety when operated properly.
SMALL CHILDREN / PETS WARNING
After the bed is unboxed, immediately
dispose of packaging material as it can
smother small children and pets. To avoid
injury, children or pets should not be allowed
to play under or on the bed. Children
should not operate this bed without adult
supervision.
HOSPITAL USE DISCLAIMER
This bed is designed for in-home use only.
It is not approved for hospital use and does
not comply with hospital standards. Do not
use this bed with tent type oxygen therapy
equipment, or use near explosive gases.
PACEMAKER WARNING
This product produces a vibrating sensation.
It is possible that individuals with heart-assist
pacemakers may experience a sensation
similar to exercise. Consult physician for
complete information.
SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Service technicians are not responsible for
moving furniture, removing headboards
and footboards or any items required to
perform maintenance on the adjustable
bed. In the event the technician is unable to
perform service due to lack of accessibility,
the service call will be billed to the purchaser
and the service will have to be rescheduled.
FCC COMPLIANCE
Electrical components are rated for 110/120
voltage, 60Hz, 3.9 amp. Components meet
Class B digital device rating (Part 15, FCC
rules) for residential use. PowerBASE™
adjustable beds generate, use and may
radiate radio frequency energy. Radio
communication may be affected if not
installed and operated as recommended in
this manual.
Radio frequency = 310MHz.
LOCKING CASTER SAFETY FEATURE
Many PowerBASE™ adjustable beds are
equipped with locking casters to prohibit the
bed from movement. For best results, place
rubber caster cups under locking casters
when the bed is located on smooth or hard
surface flooring—it is possible for locking
caster equipped beds to slide without the
use of rubber caster cups.
To activate locking casters, push down
on the lock tab. To disengage the locking
mechanism, push up on the lock tab (see
illustration below).

ACOUSTICS
LIFTING/LOWERING MECHANISMS
The lift/lower feature will emit a minimal
humming sound during operation. This is
normal.
During operation, the lift arm wheels make
contact with the platform support of the bed.
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 bed
with the hand control. This should realign the
bed’s activating mechanisms to the proper
operational position.
MASSAGE OPERATION
The massage feature will emit a minimal tone
during operation. This is normal. When the
massage level is increased, motor resonance
will intensify accordingly.
LOCATION ENVIRONMENT
The level of sound experienced during
operation is directly related to the location
environment. For example, when a bed
is located on a hardwood floor with the
massage feature in operation, a vibrating
tone will be audible. To minimize this
resonance, place a piece of carpet—or
optional rubber caster cups—under each leg
or caster of the bed. See the accessory sheet
included with this manual for rubber caster
cup order information.
It is possible to experience vibration or noise
from the headboard brackets, headboards or
footboards if mounting bolts are not firmly
tightened.
