SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES WARNING SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. Operating Information DO NOT use near explosive gases. Keep the product a minimum of 12" away from any direct heat source. Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by or near children or people with disabilities. Check all parts for shipping damage and test before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES If the unit is not working properly, call a qualified technician to examine the unit and repair it. Keep all moving parts, including the main frame, mattress deck (head and foot springs/sections) and all drive shafts, free of obstruction (i.e. blankets/sheets, heating blankets/pads, tubing, wiring, etc. and other types of products using electric cords which may get tangled around the bed, side rails or legs) during operation of the manual/electric bed.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES ALWAYS test to make sure that the side rails are properly and securely in place before using the manual/electric bed. Invacare recommends that the mattress be centered on the bed frame. Otherwise, individuals may become entangled between the bed rail and the bed frame. Physically challenged individuals who cannot prevent themselves from rolling/climbing out of the manual/electric bed may require alternative safe means of restraint.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Electrical 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 hazard to the user.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Inspect the covering of the bed’s control panel and the patient control panel to assure that the covering is not cracked or damaged.
