IVC™ Bariatric Bed Rail

2

Part No 1125060

WARNING

For the Bariatric Bed, use the mounting brackets attached to the bed frame to 

assemble the 6640 half bed rail side adjustment clamps. These side adjustment 

clamps MUST be used when installing half length bed rails onto the Bariatric Bed. 

DO NOT use the chrome colored side adjustment clamps supplied with the half 

length bed rail kits, as these are not designed for the bariatric bed.
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching 

hardware is tightened securely. Bed rails with dimensions different from the original 

equipment supplied or specified by the bed manufacturer may not be 

interchangeable and may result in entrapment or other injury. 
To reduce the risk of entrapment make certain that the crossbraces DO NOT 

exceed the width of the mattress. Mattress MUST fit bed frame and side rails snugly 

to reduce the risk of entrapment.
Unless the bed rail is in the lowest position, ensure that the plunger pins fully 

protrude through the adjustment hole of each bed rail tube. This ensures that the 

bed rail is securely locked in position. (The lowest position for the bed rail occurs 

when the bed rail rests against the bed rail stop. Spring loaded pins DO NOT engage 

into an adjustment hole when the bed rail in the lowest position.)
