Chapter 5: Attaching the Bed Face Panel to the Bed Cabinet.

1.

  Referring to Fig. 5C, stand the Bed Face Panel in vertical 

position between the mechanism arms, lifting until the bolt in 

Hole #3

 drops in the slotted portion of each mechanism arm.

2.

  Gently tilt the Bed Face Panel outward toward you until the 

Allen bolts in 

Hole #1

 hits (and is completely seated in) the 

bottom corner notch of each mechanism. This is used as a 

positioning guide to align 

Hole #2

 with the mechanism.

3.

  Insert the remaining 5/16 Hex head bolts from Hardware Card #2, through the 

mechanism arm into 

Hole #2

 on each side and thread on the 5/16” Nylock nuts 

from Hardware Card #2. Securely tighten these nuts and the nuts on 

Hole #3 

with 

the 1/2” Socket and wrench.

STEP 4

Verify the bolts in Holes #2 and #3 have been inserted and 

secured on each side (4 bolts total). 

Tilt the Bed Face Panel outward (to approximately 45 degrees) 

to release the mechanism arm locks. You may hear a click as 

they disengage.
