2 INTRODUCTION, PATRIOT HOMECARE BED USER MANUAL
This manual contains assembly and maintenance instructions for your Model US0208 / US0208PL
Semi-Electric and US0458 / US0458PL Full-Electric / Low Patriot bed. Read the entire manual care-
fully before using your bed, and refer to it during use if you have questions.
THERMAL MOTOR PROTECTION
This product is powered by a quiet, efficient DC motor system. When the bed is plugged into a
power outlet, the electrical transformer is always energized in a stand-by condition. The Okimat
actuator casing may feel warm to the touch even when the bed is not being used; this is a normal
condition.
Thermal protection activation (protection against overheating caused by excessive or extended
periods of operation), which causes the bed to shut down operation when overheated, is a safety
feature of this product.
Causes of thermal protection activation include multiple or repeated adjustment of long duration,
or the use of multiple functions at one time. To ensure trouble-free operation, always allow a slight
pause between multiple adjustments, and avoid operating more than one function at a time. If
thermal protection activation occurs, the bed pendant hand control will not function. The thermal
protection will reset after a period of time dependent on the severity of the overheating. To short-
en the reset time, temporarily unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
GRAVITY-DOWN FEATURE FOR HEAD AND KNEE ELEVATION
Patriot beds are equipped with a gravity-down safety feature. The motors push the head and knee
grid decks up, but do not pull the knee and head down. As the motor plunger retracts, the head
and knee lower freely, minimizing bed damage and/or personal injury from items caught under the
grid deck.
Info: When using telescoping deck-mount bed rails, the head and knee may not lower without
weight on the bed.
