CAUTION
Scale function may be affected by siderail/caster interference. With the litter fully lowered or lowered in Re-
verse Trendelenburg, the siderails tucked under the litter in the storage position and the casters turned, there
is the potential for interference between the siderail and the caster. Raise the siderails when lowering the
litter to the full down position to prevent the interference from causing the scale system to weigh inaccurately.
WARNING
To avoid possible injury and to assure proper operation when using a powered mattress replacement system
such as XPRT:
Confirm proper scale system operation following mattress installation. For best results, secure the mat-
tress power cord to prevent damage to the cord and interference with the bed frame and the scale system.
Do not zero bed scales or weigh patient with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn−Assist active. Patient mo-
tion and position resulting from the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect scale system performance.
