Actual product appearance and functionality may vary from photographs, illustrations and descriptions included in this manual.
Safety Precautions and Usage Statements
Attention: Important Safety Disclaimers
Read all instructions before using your adjustable base. Save these
instructions.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK, BURNS, FIRE OR INJURY:
For optimal safety and operation, plug bed base into a surge protector (not
included). The bed base should only be plugged directly into a wall outlet or
surge protector (stronly recommended). Always unplug the base from the
electrical outlet before servicing any part of the base. To reduce risk of
electric shock, unplug the base before cleaning. To safely disconnect, ensure
the base is in a flat position with all motors heated surfaces. Never operate
the base when the air openings are blocked. Keep air openings free of lint,
hair and the like. Do not drop or insert any object into any opening.
Discontinue use of the bed base and contact a qualified service center if: it
has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or it has been
dropped into water. Only use this bed base for its intended use as described
in this manual. Do not use accessories/attachments that are not recommended by
the manufacturer. Close supervision is required when the bed base is used by
or near children, convalescents, disabled persons or pets. Improper
connection of the equipment can result in the risk of electrical shock,
electrical fire or faulty operation of this bed base. If the plug does not fit
your outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install a suitable outlet.
Unauthorized modification or failure to use a wall outlet or surge protector
could void the electrical portion of your warranty.
PETS AND CHILDREN:
Immediately dispose of all packing materials as it may pose a smothering
risk to small children and pets. To avoid injury, it is not advised to allow
children and small pets to play on or under the bed. Children should not not
operate the bed base without adult supervision.
PACEMAKERS:
Some products contain Neodymium MAGNETS which may interfere with devices such
as pacemakers, ICD’s and any other device sensitive to magnetic fields. It is
STRONGLY recommended that owners of
such medical devices consult their physician prior to using products that
contain Neodymium MAGNETS. It is also possible that some pacemakers may
falsely interpret the optional massage feature vibrations as
movement/exercise. This is a common occurrence with any product that create a
vibrating movement and may a ect the pacemaker. Please consult your physician
before using the massage feature.
-
IN-HOME USE AND HOSPITAL STANDARDS:
Ergo motion 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 -
Manual operation
If something gets caught in the platform when flattened, you can manually raise the platform up by lifting at either the head or foot to relieve pressure and allow for release. -
Emergency stop
Stop the motion of the platform by pressing any button on the remote control. -
Power outage
Use the “Emergency Battery Backup Strap” as a temporary power source to get the base to a desired position. Instructions on how to operate the Battery Backup Strap are on the Emergency Battery Backup page(s) -
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.
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 1-2 of massage intensity represent the revolutions of the motor per minute. Level 2 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 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 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 “ ” 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 “ ” 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.
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.
-
BREAK IN PERIOD:
-
You can speed up the break-in period by simply spending time in the adjustable bed through activities such as reading, watching TV or playing with the kids or grandkids. The extra movement will help the adjustable base respond to weight and temperature changes. Some of the materials in our adjustable bases such as the woods, metals and plastics used in the platform, frame and components are sensitive to moisture content and temperature and may make sounds in colder environments.
-
PAIRED OPERATION:
When operating a “paired” split base setup there may be a time latency up to 1.5 seconds between each bases articulation. -
WEAR AND TEAR:
Wear and tear is damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal use or aging. -
FABRIC CARE:
To prolong the life of your fabric, protect from direct sunlight whenever possible. For spot cleaning, wipe area with a light damp sponge or vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove particles. Keep at a minimum of 30cm (12 inches) away from direct heat sources. For a deeper cleaning, blot liquid spills with a clean dry cloth. Wipe with a clean cloth dampened with warm water. Do not wet excessively. A soft bristle brush may be used to remove ingrained soil. Avoid scratching by gentle brushing. Wipe with a clean cloth dampened with warm water to remove residues. Dry in shade away from direct heat. If persistent marks remain visible after cleaning, seek professional advice. -
PRODUCT RATINGS:
The lift motors are not designed to operate continuously for more than [2] minutes in an [18] minute time period or approximately 10% duty cycle. Attempting to circumvent or exceed this rating will shorten the life expectancy of the product and may void the warranty. The massage motors are not designed to operate continuously for more than 30 minutes at a time. Please allow the massaging system to rest for 30 -
WEIGHT LIMITS:
This product is not rated to support weights in excess of 750 pounds / 340 kg inclusive of the mattress and bedding. The base will structurally support this weight, provided it is evenly distributed across the bed base. The adjustable base is not designed to support or lift this amount in the head or foot sections alone. Exceeding this weight restriction could damage the bed and/or cause injury and will void the warranty.
IMPORTANT DO’S AND DON’TS
DO:
- Plug your adjustable base into a power surge protector.
- Evenly distribute weight when sleeping in a split setup. Uneven distribution of weight can cause the base to raise unevenly.
- Call Customer Service for any technical issues. Do not try to force the base down, this can damage the motors or frame.
- Use mild soap and water to clean your adjustable base if staining occurs.
- Keep in mind that adjustable bases are recommended to be used with adjustable friendly mattresses.
- Lower to the flat (horizontal) position after use and in between presets.
- Register your warranty as soon as your adjustable base has been delivered.
DON’T:
- Sit on corners/edges of base, this may warp the frame, struts or foam.
- Tilt the base on its side. This can damage the legs and/or leg screws.
- Stand or jump on the adjustable base at any time, this can damage the frame and motors.
- Drag the base to move it. Dragging the base could damage the frame, strip the nut/bolts or break the legs. Purchase castors if you plan on moving your base routinely.
- Enter and exit the adjustable base with the head and/or foot in the articulated position. You must always enter or exit your adjustable in the flat (horizontal) position.
- Tinker with or modify base. This will void the warranty.
