Installation Step 1 Place the bubble pad flat on the bed frame. The inflation tubes should be towards the foot end so that they can be connected to the inflation nozzles on the pump. Step 2 Cover with a cotton sheet to avoid direct skin contact and reduce friction. Step 3 Hang the pump over the frame or board at the foot end of the bed. Make sure the pump is secured. Step 4 Connect the inflation tubes from the bubble pad to the pump’s inflating nozzles. Make sure they are properly attached.
Grounding Instructions This product should be grounded when it is equipped with a cord that contains a grounding wire with a grounding plug. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. DANGER – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding to either flat blade terminal.
