SAFETY SUMMARY

OPERATING INFORMATION

F E T Y

S U M M A R

After bed has been assembled, always test to make sure that all sections of the bed are properly and securely in place BEFORE using.

Keep ALL moving parts 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 or legs) during operation of Electric beds.

Trapeze units MUST be positioned on floor stand; as near as possible to the center point of the bed. The trapeze is to be used ONLY in ASSISTING the patient in repositioning or transferring in or out of bed.

Use ONLY free standing Traction units with these model beds. These units are to be used ONLY for immobilizing a patient in various traction setups or ASSISTING the patient in repositioning or transferring in or out of bed.

NEVER allow patients to use trapeze or traction units as a total individual weight support. Make certain ALL screws and nuts are tight at all times. Leisure beds are equipped with four (4) locking casters. ALWAYS engage all four (4) locking

casters EXCEPT when moving the bed. Inspect for correct locking action on wheel locks BEFORE using bed.

Body weight MUST be evenly distributed over the surface of the bed. DO NOT lay, sit or lean in such a way that entire body weight is placed only on RAISED head or foot ends of bed. This includes when assisting in repositioning or transferring in or out of bed.

USING TWO (2) TWIN BEDS AS A KING SIZE BED - When put together to form a king size bed, a gap will exist between the two (2) twin beds. Make sure all four (4) locking casters of each bed are engaged BEFORE using the bed, otherwise the two (2) twin beds may move apart, possibly causing injury and/or damage.

USING TWO (2) TWIN BEDS AS A KING SIZE BED - The pendant functions of the two (2) twin beds will operate separately. BEFORE changing the position of EITHER bed, confirm the area between the two (2) twin beds is clear. Otherwise, individuals may become entangled between the two (2) twin beds, possibly causing injury and/or damage.

SAFETY SUMMARY

WARNING

ELECTRICAL - GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: A. This product MUST be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT bypass the grounding plug.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not com-

pletely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the product is properly grounded. B . This product is for use on a normal 120 VAC circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like

the plug illustrated in sketch A shown at the bottom of this page. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole outlet as shown in sketch C if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch D) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The rigid ear, lug and the like extending from the adapter MUST be connected to a permanent ground such as properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it MUST be held in place by the screw.

NEVER operate if the unit has a damaged cord or plug. If it is not working properly, call Qualified Service Personnel for examination and repair.
