Product Specifications

NEVER operate if the unit has a damaged cord or plug. If it is not working properly, call a
qualified technician for examination and repair. Keep all electrical cords away from heated or

hot surfaces. Ensure all cables and cords are routed such that they will not become
entangled or pinched. Otherwise damage or injury may result.

DO NOT unplug power cord from control box.
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.
NEVER operate the unit if these cords are damaged.

Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Grounding reliability depends upon a properly
grounded wall outlet.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electrocution.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are doubtful that the electrical

outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the grounding plug provided. If it will not fit into
the electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Grounding

reliability can only be achieved when connected to an equivalent receptacle marked Hospital
Only or Hospital Grade.

Electric components, such as motors exposed to water, may cause severe injury including
electrocution.

During routine bed operation or when cleaning, DO NOT expose electrical components to
water. Unplug and de-energize electrical components when water products are near these

components.

Repair or Service Information

DO NOT open assemblies such as the motors, pendant, control boxes or gearboxes. 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.
Unplug the power cord from its power source before performing any maintenance on the

electric bed. DO NOT unplug the power cord from the control box. Damage to cord will result.
The control box is mounted to the foot motor with an actuator clip-lock. If replacing the

control box, remove the actuator clip-lock and slide the control box away from the foot motor
until it is free. Disconnect all cable connections.

Before connecting/disconnecting the connections at the control 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 control box, be sure the cable lock is secure after

installation - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT force the connector into the control box, otherwise - injury or damage may occur.

EXPLOSION Hazard.
DO NOT operate this bed in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or with

nitrous oxide. DO NOT use near explosive gases.
Keep the product a minimum of 12" away from any direct heat source.

Product Specifications

Possible FIRE hazard exists if the hand control pendant is not disabled when using oxygen­administering equipment. Disconnect the pendant from the cable coupling and hang it on the

pendant hook (in holder) when not in use.
Keep pendant cord clear of moving equipment.

Possible FIRE hazard exists when connecting the electric cord to a 120V~ wall outlet if oxygen
administering equipment is in use.

Use either the nasal mask or 1/2 length tent, ensuring the tent never extends below the
mattress support level, when administering oxygen.

DO NOT use an extension cord.
DO NOT permit the cord, wall outlet, motors, control box or pendant to become wet or

submerged.
DO NOT operate the bed if the cord or outlet is damaged. DO NOT operate the bed if any

motor has malfunctioned or is damaged in any manner.
DO NOT use this bed in Active Treatment "Ether Environments".

Plug the three prong electrical cord ONLY into a properly grounded 110 VAC to 120 VAC, 60
cycle outlet that is rated to at least six amps.

Grounding Instructions:

This electric bed must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, thereby reducing the risk of electric
shock.

This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate electric outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT roll the bed over the power cord or pendant cord. DO NOT entangle the cords on

other objects. A pinched electric cord is dangerous and can become damaged. Use the
Power Cord Strap when moving the bed. Refer Bed Manual for proper pendant stowage.

DO NOT use this product or any available optional equipment without first completely reading
and understanding these instructions and any additional instructional material such as
owner’s manuals, service manuals or instruction sheets supplied with this product or optional

equipment. If you are unable to understand the warnings, cautions or instructions contact a
healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to use this

equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may occur. The initial set up of this bed must be
performed by a qualified technician. Procedures other than those described in this manual

must be performed by a qualified technician.
This bed is rated to 500 lbs. (228 kg). DO NOT overload the bed. The combined weight of

patients, visitors, mattress, bedding and all accessories must NOT exceed 500 lbs. (228 kg).
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
the bed. This includes when assisting the user in repositioning or transferring in or out of

bed.

ENTRAPMENT WARNING

Proper patient assessment and monitoring and proper maintenance and use of equipment are
required to reduce the risk of entrapment. Variations in bed rail dimensions, and mattress

thickness, size or density could increase the risk of entrapment. Visit the FDA website at
http://www.fda.gov to learn about the risks of entrapment. Review “A Guide to Bed Safety”,

published by the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup, located at www.invacare.com. Use the link
located under each bed rail product entry to access this bed safety guide. Refer to the

owners manuals for beds and rails for additional product and safety information. After any
adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened

securely. Assist rails with dimensions different from the original equipment supplied or
specified by the bed manufacturer may not be interchangeable and may result in entrapment

or other injury. Mattress MUST fit bed frame and assist rails snugly to reduce the risk of
entrapment.

DO NOT drop the bed. DO NOT allow patients to fall on the bed. DO NOT jump on the bed.
Each of the preceding impacts can permanently damage either HILO motor resulting in an

inoperable bed. In the case of an inoperable bed due to a damaged HILO motor, the HILO
motor must be replaced immediately. If left unattended, a damaged HILO motor can cause the

bed to fall from the highest extended position, resulting in patient injury. DO NOT exceed the
maximum continuous duty cycle. Refer to Technical Specifications.

Operating Information

When bed is not to be used for an extended period, unplug electric bed from the wall outlet.
The electric bed is NOT designed to be used as a patient transport. When transporting a

patient, use an approved patient transport. Otherwise, injury or damage may result.
If the unit is not working properly, call a qualified technician to examine the unit and repair it.
Keep all moving parts, including the main frame, mattress deck (head and foot

springs/sections) and all drive shafts, free of obstruction (i.e. blankets/sheets, heating
blankets/pads, tubing, wiring, etc. and other types of products using electric cords which may

get tangled around the bed, side rails or legs) during operation of the manual/electric bed.
The electric bed is equipped with locking casters. When transferring into or out of the electric

bed, always lock the locking caster(s). Inspect the wheel locks for correct locking action
before actual use. Even with casters properly locked some flooring surfaces such as tile or

wood will allow the bed to move under some conditions. Use on surfaces such as these must
be evaluated by the care provider.

Check all parts for shipping damage and test before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use.
Contact a qualified technician for further instruction.

After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is
tightened securely.

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

thoroughly before using the electric controls again.
When operating/moving electric beds, always ensure that the individual utilizing the bed is

positioned properly within the confines of the bed. DO NOT let any extremities protrude over
the side or between the bed rails when performing these functions.
