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

Slide the steel 

tube over the 

mechanism arm 

and pull outward 

to engage the arm 

lock on the T-Nut 

as shown in Fig. 

5A. Repeat steps 

for opposite side.

FIG. 5A - LEFT SIDE SHOWN

STEP 1

The mechanism arm will have a considerable amount of tension, this is normal 

and why we include the PVC tube. You should place your foot against the 

bottom on the bed to prevent the Bed Cabinet from pulling away from the 

wall and doing this will also help get leverage to pull the arm down. It may 

also appear to be slightly bent, which is normal.
