It is true that most beds work on general principals that don't change very much from one manufacturer to another. But this equipment all functions on 220 -230 volts ( most) and this kind of voltage is potentially dangerous, not only to yourself but to the user ( client) Know what you are doing before attempting something, if you are just maintaining or cleaning then CUT THE POWER bofore working. If you're replacing parts it's one wire at a time, and make lots of drawings and label every wire where it came off of, before you start dismanteling. Always work safely, because it only takes one mislplaced wire to make a short circuit, and only one short circuit to blow coms chips or fan circuits or fuses and then if you can't go find em once they're cooked,,,.....well then.. you might want to keep your tech's number handy. Basic maintaining, and cleaning sure, bed repair.. ? If these things were just big light boxes, anyone would fix them, but that's rarely why we are running 18 hour days in the service industry. Another poin you might want to keep in mind, is that once you dive into your "guts" of the equipment say good bye to your warranty, you talk with your manufacturer or bed sales rep before you even think about touching it, cause they won't be warrantying anything you fry by means of an unknowing mistake. Just a word to the wise, but at the end of the day it's your call. Mike.
