Function Procedure
Overall condition,
frame and welded
assemblies
Check the overall condition of the bed.
Check that the structure and welded assemblies are in good working
condition and that there are no impacts or corrosion.
Do any necessary repairs or paint retouches, replace parts if
necessary.
Observe the symmetry of the bed and check that the bed frame and
base are not twisted. Do any necessary repairs or paint retouches.
Check that all labels are installed and can be read, replace them if
necessary.
Check for lose or missing hardware, replace or adjust as necessary.
Headboard and
footboard
Check the appearance, attachment and safety of the headboard and
footboard. Replace if necessary.
AC power cord Examine the plug for damage. Make sure the plug is a one-piece
molded plug assembly. If it is not, replace the plug cord assembly.
Replace any plug cord assembly that shows any of these:
• Discoloration of the plug molding around the plug blades; this
could occur if the plug blades have overheated or arced.
• Any signs of cracking; this could occur if the plug has been
bent and straightened to a point past its useful life.
• Loose fit of the plug blade (the plug blade moves in the
molding); this could occur if the molding has overheated or
the blades have been bent and straightened to a point past their
useful life.
Replace the power cord, if damaged.
