Never leave the person in the bed unattended when the side rail is lowered, or when
the head is elevated if there is any risk they will be able to get over the side rails and fall.
The mattress and/or heavy duty bumper pads should be checked regularly and replaced
if there are any tears in the fabric.
Never replace the mattress that Hard Manufacturing provides with another manufacturer's
product. Our mattresses are a custom size and other mattresses not supplied by
Hard Manufacturing may not
fi
t properly and could potentially cause entrapment hazards.
An improper mattress will also make the bed di
ffi
cult to operate as they will most likely be too
wide, and may cause damage to the bed components over time.
The weight limit of any of the cribs or beds made by Hard Manufacturing is 150lbs. If the
weight limit of the bed is exceeded, the additional weight could cause damage to the bed
components that could lead to expensive repairs and/or make the bed unsafe for daily use
for the patient as a result. A parent/caregiver should not get into the bed with the patient.
HARD Manufacturing will support parts on our cribs and beds for up to 12 years from
the date of manufacture as long as we still make the part or can obtain it from our vendors.
HARD Manufacturing cribs and beds can be cleaned with an anti-bacterial all purpose
cleaner of the parent/caregiver choice but it must be a non-abrasive cleaner.
Anything
containing bleach, alcohol or ammonia must be avoided.
The crib should be dried
thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately following the cleaning, the crib should never be
allowed to air dry.
Failure to follow the proper cleaning instructions can result in
premature rust and corrosion of the parts on your cribs.
If the crib or bed for your child needs a part, new mattress, bumper
pads, etc- please contact the durable medical equipment dealer who
