Posey Bed - 8040, 8050, 8060 19

Attaching the Posey Bed to Hospital Beds
with Non-Removable Head/Footboards
(Included with 8040 Model)
Materials:
• Assembled Bed Frame with Canopy
• Part D
• Part O
Failure to follow these instructions
may result in serious injury or death from a fall or
unassisted bed exit.
• ALWAYS use the Posey Bed Universal Straps
(Cat. 8018) to firmly attach the Posey Bed frame
to hospital beds with non-removable head and
footboards.
• NEVER use the Universal Straps on beds with
removable head and footboards. Doing so will
cause the A-Frame to detach from the hospital
bed when the bed is raised.
• ALWAYS properly secure the Posey Bed
Universal Straps.
• ALWAYS use Posey Bed Headboard/Footboard
Pads (Cat. 8002) to cover the head and
footboards to help prevent injury from direct
contact with the solid head and footboards.
1. Position the A-frame around the hospital bed
and adjust the length of the Top Piece and Base
Piece of the Frame to fit around the frame of
the bed.
2. Wrap the Large Horizontal Strap A horizontally
around the head or footboard.
3. Snap the quick-release buckle closed (Fig. 35).
4. Adjust the strap so that it fits snug around the
head or footboard (Fig. 36).
NOTE: The large buckle from Strap A should be
facing in toward the bed.
5. Adjust the position of Strap A so the three
Slider Bar Support Straps are between the two
vertical frame bars (Fig. 37).
6. Raise the slider bar (Part D) from the frame
even with the three Slider Bar Support Straps B
(Fig. 38).
7. Using the tab provided, separate the hook and
loop from each strap and place the slider bar in
the center of each strap (Fig. 39). Tighten each
strap.
