transport, store the power cords to prevent tripping. Take care to prevent damage to AC power cords.
An electrical shock hazard exists. Use only the headboard, headboard push handles (wood headboards),
or the integrated push handles (D model and newer beds) to move the bed.
Transport the bed with the head-end lift arms parallel to the ground or lower.
