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
Ergo 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.
MASSAGE OPERATION AND LOCATION ENVIRONMENT
The massage feature will emit a tone during operation. This is normal.
As the massage intensity level is increased, the tone will intensify. The
volume of this tone is directly related to the location environment.
For example, when demonstrated in a show room, the surrounding
environmental noise will cover some of the massage noise. However,
when installed in a home setting with wooden oors, carpeted or
not, the massage volume will be more noticeable. To minimize this
resonance, place a piece of carpet, or rubber caster cups, under each
leg or caster of the base. It is possible to experience vibration or
noise from the exterior bed frame, headboard brackets, headboards or
footboards if mounting bolts are not rmly tightened.
Levels 1-3 of massage intensity represent the revolutions of the motor
per minute. Level 3 provides the maximum number of RPMs. However,
this does not mean that the feeling of vibration is the strongest.
Depending on the mattress material, thickness, and positioning of the
user, the feeling of vibrations will differ. We encourage the user to nd
the massage intensity setting that suits them best. It is important to
understand the physics of vibrations. Just as an engine may run rough
during idle, as the RPMs increase, the vibrations change concurrently.
TOLERANCE
All Ergo 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 dened as the following: Adjustable foundation is to be
operated with a mattress and load. Testing procedures require lifetime
cycle tests with up to 120kg distributed load. The angle (designated “α”
in gure 1) between the back section and the at section for various
congurations of the mattress support platform shall be ± 3°, which
translates to a tolerance of up to 1 ½”.
The angle (designated “β” in gure 1) between the at section and foot
section for various congurations 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. This smell is 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.

Normal operating use is defined as the following:
-Adjustable foundation is to be operated with a mattress and load. Testing procedures require lifetime cycle
tests with up to 120kg distributed load.
The angle (designated “α” in figure 1) between the back section and the flat section for various configurations of the
mattress support platform shall be ± 3°, which translates to a tolerance of up to 1 ½”.
The angle (designated “β” in figure 1) between the flat section and foot section for various configurations 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.
