2 INTRODUCTION, PATRIOTHOMECARE BED USER MANUAL

This manual contains assembly and maintenance instructions for your Model US0208 / US0208PL Semi-Electric and US0458 / US0458PL Full-Electric / Low Patriotbed. Read the entire manual care- fully before using your bed, and refer to it during use if you have questions.

THERMAL MOTOR PROTECTION

This product is powered by a quiet, efficient DC motor system. When the bed is plugged into a power outlet, the electrical transformer is always energized in a stand-by condition. The Okimat actuator casing may feel warm to the touch even when the bed is not being used; this is a normal condition.

Thermal protection activation (protection against overheating caused by excessive or extended periods of operation), which causes the bed to shut down operation when overheated, is a safety feature of this product.

Causes of thermal protection activation include multiple or repeated adjustment of long duration, or the use of multiple functions at one time. To ensure trouble-free operation, always allow a slight pause between multiple adjustments, and avoid operating more than one function at a time. If thermal protection activation occurs, the bed pendant hand control will not function. The thermal protection will reset after a period of time dependent on the severity of the overheating. To short- en the reset time, temporarily unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

GRAVITY-DOWN FEATURE FOR HEAD AND KNEE ELEVATION

Patriotbeds are equipped with a gravity-down safety feature. The motors push the head and knee grid decks up, but do not pull the knee and head down. As the motor plunger retracts, the head and knee lower freely, minimizing bed damage and/or injury from items caught under the grid deck.

Note: When using telescoping deck-mount bed rails, the head and knee may not lower without weight on the bed.
