Guardian Full-Length, Clamp-on Telescoping Rails
User Instructions
Model IC-6623
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. When using side rails, only use side rails that can be
positioned so that the gap between the side rails is large enough that the trunk
and hips can easily pass through it. Make sure when raising the bed, head sec-
tion or foot section does not create any of the previously described gaps.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. If side rail is used, follow guidelines in
rail User's Manual. Use of side rail can expose patient to risk of suffocation
if head becomes trapped between mattress and side rail.
POSSIBLE INJURY. Make sure side rails are secured properly before using bed.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. Individuals with physical limitations who cannot
prevent themselves from rolling or climbing out of the bed may require other
means of safe positioning.
POSSIBLE DAMAGE OR INJURY. Do not use the side rails as handles when
moving the bed.
POSSIBLE DAMAGE OR INJURY. Side rails do not fall within any weight limita-
tions and may be damaged if excessive pressure is placed on them. Side rails
are for the purpose of aiding in turning and repositioning within the bed and
are not intended to be used for restraint purposes.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (FIGURE 1)
1. Remove the mattress from the bed.
2. Place the bed in the flat position.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. When using side rails, use a mattress thick
enough and wide enough so that the gap between the top of the mattress and
the bottom of the side rails and the gap between the side of the mattress and
the side rails is small enough to prevent a patient from getting his or her head
or neck between the mattress and the side rail. Assure that articulating the
bed, head section or foot section does not create any hazardous gaps. Failure
to do so could result in injury or possible suffocation.
3. Measure the width of the bed frame. Attach the two crossbrace assemblies
together.
4. Place the assembled crossbrace on the bed frame. Attach clamps as shown and
tighten wing nuts until secure. Prevent the lock nut from contacting the bed
frame.
5. Once the crossbrace is adjusted properly, tighten the center bolts and nuts.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for other crossbrace. Ensure the other crossbrace is between
62" to 64" apart as shown.
7. The slide tube can be rotated with the locking knob on the right or left by
rotating the slide. The bed rail can be adjusted higher or lower based on your
rail height preference.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. When using side rails, only use side rails
that can be positioned so that the gap between the headboard or foot board
and the side rails is small enough to prevent a patient from getting his or
her head or neck between the mattress and the side rail or large enough that
the trunk and hips can easily pass through it. Assure that articulating the
bed, head section or foot section does not create any hazardous gaps. Failure
to do so could result in injury or possible suffocation.
8. Insert the rail into the slide tubes. Pull the plunger knob to adjust the rail
height.
Center Bolts
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. When using side rails, only use side rails
in which any gaps between the rail body members are small enough to prevent
a patient from getting his or her head or neck inside the rail body. Failure to
do so could result in injury or possible suffocation.

RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. When using multiple side rails on one or both
sides of the bed, only use side rails that can be positioned so that the gap
between the side rails is large enough that the trunk and hips can easily
pass through it. Assure that articulating the bed head section or foot section
does not create any hazardous gaps.
