Instructions for Use

Inspect product prior to use. Do not use soiled or damaged products.
Position the mattress cover over the mattress (Fig. 1), making note of the ends labeled “Head” and “Foot”. Applies to models 5750/5750NC.
Thread each of the straps located along the edge of the cover through available openings in the perimeter of the movable section of the bed frame. This will allow the cover to remain properly fitted to the mattress as the entire bed, head section, or foot section is raised or lowered. Avoid areas where the straps may interfere with the lowering and raising mechanism of the bed.
Secure the end of the quick-release buckles and tighten the straps securely (Fig. 2).
If using a sheet, attach the eight sheet clips, located on the quick-release buckles, to the sheet (Fig. 3). Applies to model 5750 only.
If desired, attach the foot bolster to the mattress cover using the loop strip sewn into the cover (Fig. 4). Applies to models 5750/5750NC.
Check for proper fit. Modified beds may not be compatible with Posey Defined Perimeter Mattress Covers. $Posey-5750-Defined-Perimeter-Mattress-Covers-FIG-1 $1$$
