SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
Your Serta® Pivot™ Foundation has been designed to provide you with the reliable
operation and durability you expect. This product has been inspected and tested prior to
shipment.
PRODUCT RATINGS:
The lift motor in your Serta® Pivot™ Foundation is NOT designed for continuous use.
Reliable operation and full life expectancy will be attained as long as the lift motor
does not operate more than two (2) minutes over an eighteen (18) minute period, or
approximately 10% duty cycle. Any attempt to circumvent or exceed this rating will
shorten the life expectancy of this product and may void the warranty. The recommended
weight restrictions for your Serta® Pivot™ Foundation is up to 850 lbs. total weight,
including people and the mattress for all sizes of adjustable foundations. Lift speed will
vary due to weight and mattress conguration, as well as the mattress type. The weight
must be evenly distributed across the bed. This product is not designed to support or lift
850 lbs of total weight in the head section of your Serta® Pivot™ Foundation alone, or
in any unevenly distributed fashion. Some mattresses are not designed for Adjustable
Foundations because they do not bend or ex well when adjusted. When using such a
mattress with your Serta® Pivot™ Foundation the weight limits set forth herein do not
apply, as the bending of the mattress requires signicant force and puts signicant strain
on the motors and the Adjustable Foundation itself.
Note: Exceeding the recommended weight restrictions could damage your adjustable
foundation and void your warranty. Using a mattress on top of your adjustable
foundation that is not designed for adjustability may also void your warranty.
For best performance, you should enter and exit the adjustable bed while it is in the at or
fully lowered position.
DO NOT SIT ON THE HEAD SECTION WHILE IN THE RAISED POSITION.
INTENDED USAGE:
The electric adjustable foundation should be installed with the head of the frame
positioned close to a wall.
