Hospital Bed Troubleshooting Guide

Check Power Source: Ensure the bed is plugged into a working outlet.
Confirm Bed is Still Plugged In: Bedding or rails may shift and accidentally unplug the bed.
Plug Directly into the Wall: The bed should never be plugged into an extension cord or power strip.
Inspect the Remote Control: Make sure buttons respond and the cable is securely connected.
Reset the Bed: Unplug it for a few minutes, then plug it back in.
Check for Obstructions: Look for any objects blocking the bed's movement, including blankets, sheets, tubing, or other items.
Ensure Proper Alignment: Side rails must be correctly positioned before locking.
Check for Damage: Worn or broken latches may need replacement.
Always Test Side Rails: Before using the bed, confirm that the side rails are properly and securely in place.
Clear Debris: Remove any dust or objects obstructing the rails.
Inspect for Loose Bolts or Screws: Tighten any loose components.
Check the Motor: Listen for grinding noises that may indicate motor issues.
Ensure Even Weight Distribution: Uneven weight can strain the motor.
Look for Worn Gears: If noises persist, internal gears may need servicing.
Try a Different Remote (if available): The remote itself may be faulty.
Check for Loose Cables: Ensure the remote is securely connected to the control box.
Inspect for Button Damage: Worn-out buttons may need replacement.
Replace Batteries (if applicable): Some remotes may require fresh batteries.
Check Wheel Locks: Always engage wheel locks when transferring into or out of the bed.
Remove Debris: Clean around the wheels to prevent obstruction.
Inspect for Wear and Tear: Worn-out wheels may need replacement.
Ensure Even Surface: The bed should be on a level surface to prevent movement issues.
Never Operate with a Damaged Cord or Plug: If the unit is not running properly, contact Nunn's immediately.
Keep Moving Parts Clear: Ensure the main frame, mattress deck, and all drive shafts are free of obstruction, such as blankets, sheets, and tubing.
