The bed should be cleaned by wiping a soft dampened cloth over the surface,
followed by wiping with a dry cloth. At no time should a wet cloth be allowed
to lay on the surface. Any liquid spilled on the surface should be wiped up
immediately. Any liquid allowed to lie on the surface unattended may damage
the finish.
For protection of the finish, we recommend using a liquid furniture polish.
Polish about once a month, and wipe off any excess with a soft dry cloth. Have
any nicks or scrapes repaired to prevent water damage.
Servicing the Bed
WARNING:
Powered bed mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate the bed
only with persons clear of mechanisms. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Unplug the bed from its power source and engage the lockout control
during routine maintenance or cleaning. Refer to the Affinity® Three
Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed User Manual (USR025)
and specific sections in this service manual for additional precautions.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Ensure all electrical/mechanical loads are removed prior to
maintenance/repair of the bed’s drive system or other mechanical
assemblies. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
When you work with the bed in the high position, set the brakes and place
2 x 4’s between the base frame and lift arms. This will help prevent injury in
case someone accidentally actuates the bed down switch.
If service on the bed requires that it be placed on its side, be sure to store and
pad the siderails to prevent damage. Also, remove the brake/steer pedal to
prevent damage.
