safety precautions and usage statements

IN-HOME USE AND HOSPITAL STANDARDS:
Ergomotion adjustable bed bases are designed solely for in-home use. This
base was not designed as a hospital bed and is not designed to meet hospital
standards. Do not use this base with TENT TYPE oxygen therapy equipment or
near explosive gases.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES
Casters (optional leg accessory) are equipped with locking wheels to prevent
unwanted movement. Even when locked and unable to roll, it is possible for
the casters to slide. Free release head and foot motors are designed to lower
the mattress by retracting only with gravity, never pulling downwards, which
minimizes pinch points.
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
Ergomotion 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.

ACOUSTICS
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 floors, 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 firmly tightened.
Levels 1-6 of massage intensity represent the revolutions of the motor per
minute. Level 6 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 find 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 Ergomotion 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 defined as the following: Adjustable

Bed Tolerance
All Ergomotion 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 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.
(α°)
(β°)
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".
When operating a "paired" split base setup there may be a time latency up to 1.5 seconds between each bases articulation.
Any adjustable foundation deemed to be within these allocated tolerances is considered to have met the manufacturer's
quality control standards.
