SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Part No 1123842 13 IVC™ Bariatric Bed
After raising/lowering the head/foot end of the electric bed, check the distance between
the bottom of the bed rail and the mattress. If there is excessive distance between the
bottom of the bed rail and the mattress in which individuals may become entangled,
adjust the height of the bed rail (if applicable), or provide alternative means of patient
protection.
DO NOT use the side rails as push handles for moving the electric bed.
Replacement mattresses and bed side rails with dimensions different from the original
equipment supplied or specified by the bed frame manufacturer are not interchangeable.
Variations in bed side rail design, width and thickness or firmness of the mattress could
cause/contribute to entrapment.
Electrical
Ꮨ DANGER
When using an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord having at least
16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher electrical rating as
the device being connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of
fire and electric shock. Three prong to two prong adapters should not be used. Use
of three prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock haz-
ard to the user.
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.
Repair or Service Information
DO NOT open assemblies such as the motors, pendant, junction boxes or gear boxes. 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 junction box. Damage to cord will
result.
Before installing the connector into the junction box, be sure the side with the locking tab
is facing downward - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
