1. Q: Why is the zipper difficult to open or close?
A: It could be one or more of the following reasons:
a. Fabric, bedding, or other material caught in the zipper slider. To release material, back
the zipper slider off by pulling the tab in the opposite direction until the slider is free.
Make sure the canopy is intact and there are no tears or holes in the fabric.
b. Check the zipper teeth to make sure none of the coils are kinked.
c. Use the pull-tab to slide the zipper. Each access panel zipper has a warning instruction
plastic tag. If the plastic tag is damaged or becomes unreadable, it must be replaced.
Call Posey at 1.800.447.6739 and request a free replacement (Part L9368).
2. Q: Why is the zipper separating after zipping up?
A: The slider is damaged and does not properly engage the coils when it is being closed.
DO NOT use the Posey Bed 8060. This problem can be minimized by ALWAYS using the
zipper pull-tab to open the zipper. NEVER rip the access panel open because it will damage
the slider and prevent the zipper from closing securely.
3. Q: Where do I find the serial number of the Posey Bed 8060?
A: The serial number label is on the bottom right of one end of the bed and on the Metal
Retainer.
Q: Can I use a patient lift with the Posey Bed 8060?
A: Yes, providing it has been tested to ensure there is enough clearance under the canopy frame.
The clearance of the opening side access panel is 69” W x 50” H (175 cm x 127 cm) at bottom.
To help reduce the chance of transmitting infectious disease, all caregivers must wash their hands
