SAFETY PRECAUTIONS and USAGE STATEMENTS
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
Purple adjustable bases are constructed
from various materials including woods,
metals, plastics and fabrics. Tension, pres-
sure, or movement applied to the frame,
platform, or shroud through general use
may create an audible sound.
TOLERANCE
All Purple adjustable foundations, depend-
ing on make and model, are designed and
manufactured to perform and function
within designated quality control param-
eters. Bases are subject to meticulous and
rigorous inspections during the quality
control process to ensure bases will operate
within these standards during normal oper-
ating use. Normal operating use is dened
as the following: Adjustable foundation is
to be operated with a mattress and load.
Testing procedures require lifetime cycle
tests with up to 120 kg distributed load.
The angle (designated “α” in gure 1) be-
tween the back section and the at section
for various congurations of the mattress
support platform shall be ± 3°, which
translates to a tolerance of up to 1 ½”.
The angle (designated “α” in gure 1)
between the at section and foot section
for various congurations 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 be-
fore the product reaches you. Sometimes,
however, this smell may still be noticeable.
It usually disappears after a few weeks, pro-
viding adequate ventilation of the product
and the environment.
BREAK IN PERIOD
You can speed up the break-in period by
simply using the head/foot adjustment fea-
tures of the bed for activities such as read-
ing or watching TV. 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 tem-
perature and may make sounds in colder
environments.
PAIRED OPERATION
When operating a “paired” split base set-
up, there may be a time delay of up to 1.5
seconds between each base's articulation.
