motors o, and unplug from power source.
SAFETY
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK, BURNS, FIRE OR INJURY
For optimal safety and operation, plug bed base into a surge protector (not
included). The bed base should only be plugged directly into a wall outlet or
surge protector (strongly recommended). Always unplug the base from the
electrical outlet before servicing any part of the base. To reduce risk of electric
shock, unplug the base before cleaning. To safely disconnect, ensure the
base is in a at position with all motors off, and unplug from power source.
Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. Never operate the base
when the air openings are blocked. Keep air openings free of lint, hair and
the like. Do not drop or insert any object into any opening. Discontinue use
of the bed base and contact a qualied service center if: it has a damaged
cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or it has been dropped into water.
Only use this bed base for its intended use as described in this manual.
Do not use accessories/attachments that are not recommended by the
manufacturer. Close supervision is required when the bed base is used by or
near children, convalescents, disabled persons or pets. Improper connection
of the equipment can result in the risk of electrical shock, electrical re or
faulty operation of this bed base. If the plug does not t your outlet, contact
a qualied electrician to install a suitable outlet. Unauthorized modication or
WARNING
• Keep bed in a flat position when not in use.
• Stay clear of moving parts while in motion.
• Before adjusting, make sure children and pets are clear of
moving parts and are not under bed base.
• Do not allow children to operate bed base without adult
supervision
PETS AND CHILDREN
Immediately dispose of all packing materials as it may pose a smothering risk
to small children and pets. To avoid injury, it is not advised to allow children
and small pets to play on or under the bed. Children should not operate the
bed base without adult supervision.
PACEMAKERS
Some products contain Neodymium MAGNETS, which may interfere
with devices such as pacemakers, ICD’s and any other device sensitive
to magnetic elds. It is STRONGLY recommended that owners of such
medical devices consult their physician prior to using products that contain
Neodymium MAGNETS. It is also possible that some pacemakers may falsely
interpret the optional massage feature vibrations as movement/exercise. This
is a common occurrence with any product that creates a vibrating movement
and may not affect the pacemaker. Please consult your physician before using
the massage feature.

safety precautions and usage statements
Adjustable
Bed Tolerance
IN-HOME USE AND HOSPITAL STANDARDS
Ergomotion adjustable bed bases are designed solely for in-home use. This
base was not designed as a hospital bed and is not designed to meet hospital
standards. Do not use this base with TENT TYPE oxygen therapy equipment or
near explosive gases.
WARNING
For optimal safety and operation, plug bed base into a surge protector
(not included). The bed base should only be plugged directly into a
grounded wall outlet or surge protector (strongly recommended). Improper
connection of the equipment can result in the risk of electrical shock,
electrical file or faulty operation of this bed base. If the plug does not fit
your outlet, contact a qualified Electrician to install a suitable outlet.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES
Casters (optional leg accessory) are equipped with locking wheels to prevent
unwanted movement. Even when locked and unable to roll, it is possible for
the casters to slide. Free release head and foot motors are designed to lower
the mattress by retracting only with gravity, never pulling downwards, which
minimizes pinch points.
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 base. This contact may result in metal on metal
or metal on plastic contact. 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 base with the remote control. This should realign the base’s activating
mechanisms to the proper operational position. In normal base operation, the
wheels, which allow the bed to maintain its distance from the wall, will make
contact with the steel platform supports of the base creating a contact noise.
When entering, exiting or shifting weight on the base, this contact noise may
be audible as the wheels make contact. This is normal.
MATERIALS
Ergomotion adjustable bases are constructed from various materials including
woods, metals, plastics and fabrics. Tension, pressure or movement applied
to the frame, platform or shroud through general use may create an audible
sound.
TOLERANCE
(α°)
(β°)
All Ergomotion adjustable foundations, depending on make and model, are
designed and manufactured to perform and function within designated quality
control parameters. Bases are subject to meticulous and rigorous inspections
during the quality control process to ensure bases will operate within these
standards during normal operating use. Normal operating use is dened
as the following: Adjustable foundation is to be operated with a mattress
and load. Testing procedures require lifetime cycle tests with up to 120 kg
distributed load. The angle (designated “a” in gure 1) between the back
section and the at section for various congurations of the mattress support
platform shall be ± 3°, which translates to a tolerance of up to 1 ½”.

safety precautions and usage statements
The angle (designated “b” in gure 1) between the at section and foot section
for various congurations of the mattress support platform shall be ± 3°,
which translates to a tolerance of up to ¾”.
Any adjustable foundation deemed to be within these allocated tolerances is
considered to have met the manufacturer’s quality control standards.
THAT “NEW PRODUCT” SMELL
Some people notice a slight odor to their new adjustable base. This can come
from our material manufacturing process and the smell normal and usually
disappears before the product reaches you. Sometimes, however, this smell
may still be noticeable. It usually disappears after a few weeks, providing
adequate ventilation of the product and the environment.
BREAK IN PERIOD
You can speed up the break-in period by simply spending time in the
adjustable bed through activities such as reading, watching TV or playing
with the kids or grandkids. The extra movement will help the adjustable base
respond to weight and temperature changes. Some of the materials in our
adjustable bases such as the woods, metals and plastics used in the platform,
frame and components are sensitive to moisture content and temperature and
may make sounds in colder environments.
PAIRED OPERATION
When operating a “paired” split base setup there may be a time latency up to
1.5 seconds between each bases articulation.
For spot cleaning, wipe area with a light damp sponge or vacuum with a soft
brush attachment to remove particles. Keep at a minimum of 30 cm (12 inches)
away from direct heat sources. For a deeper cleaning, blot liquid spills with a
clean dry cloth. Wipe with a clean cloth dampened with warm water. Do not wet
excessively. A soft bristle brush may be used to remove ingrained soil. Avoid
scratching by gentle brushing. Wipe with a clean cloth dampened with warm
water to remove residues. Dry in shade away from direct heat. If persistent
marks remain visible after cleaning, seek professional advice.
PRODUCT RATINGS
The lift motors are not designed to operate continuously for more than two
(2) minutes in an eighteen (18) minute time period or approximately 10% duty
cycle. Attempting to circumvent or exceed this rating will shorten the life
expectancy of the product and may void the warranty.
WEIGHT LIMITS
This product is not rated to support weights in excess of 650 pounds inclusive
of the mattress and bedding. The base will structurally support this weight,
provided it is evenly distributed across the bed base. The adjustable base is
not designed to support or lift this amount in the head or foot sections alone.
Exceeding this weight restriction could damage the bed and/or cause injury
and will void the warranty.
WEAR AND TEAR
Wear and tear is damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of
normal use or aging.
FABRIC CARE
To prolong the life of your fabric, protect from direct sunlight whenever possible.

safety precautions and usage statements
IMPORTANT DO’S AND DON’TS
DO:
• Plug your adjustable base into a power surge protector.
• Evenly distribute weight when sleeping in a split setup (uneven distribution
of weight can cause the base to lift unevenly).
• Call Customer Service for any technical issues. Do not try to force the
base down (this can damage the motors or frame).
• Use mild soap and water to clean your adjustable base if staining occurs.
• Keep in mind that adjustable bases are recommended to be used with
adjustable friendly mattresses.
• Lower to the at (horizontal) position after use and in between presets.
• Enter or exit your adjustable in the at (horizontal) position.
• Register your warranty as soon as your adjustable base has been delivered.
DON’T:
• Sit on corners/edges of base (this may warp the frame, struts or foam).
• Tilt the base on its side (this can damage the legs and/or leg screws).
• Stand or jump on the adjustable base at any time (this can damage the
frame and motors).
• Drag the base to move it. Purchase castors if you plan on moving your
base routinely. (Dragging the base could damage the frame, strip the nut/
bolts or break the legs.)
• Enter and exit the adjustable base with the head and/or foot in the
articulated position.
• Tinker with or modify base.
• Press down on the head or foot while actuated, this can damage the
frame and motors.
