Chapter 7: Final adjustment for the Bed Cabinet and springs.
If the beds squeak during
rotation, the pivot points can be
lubricated with WD-40 or silicone
spray. Once sprayed, you should
open and close the bed several
times to work in the lubricant.
Align the steel mechanism cover to the mechanism
and then slide downward. The top of the cover will
wrap around the mechanism with the two holes
towards the bottom. In the bottom hole (the hole that
aligns with the cylinder) insert
1 black wood screw
(#8 x 1 1/2”) from hardware package #2
to secure.

FIG. 7B - LEFT SIDE COVER
To determine the proper tension, the mattress needs to be in
place. The face assembly should raise and lower with about
10 pounds of pressure and
bed legs should rest on the floor
without lifting when bed is open.
•
If the bed is too heavy to operate, springs must be added to
achieve the proper balance. The easiest way to add springs
is to remove the Bed Face Panel (see the note on the previous page about
removing the Bed Face Panel).
•
If the bed lifts off the floor or slams shut, springs must be removed to achieve
the proper balance. Springs can be removed by one of two ways: The Bed Face
Panel can be removed, which is the recommended way (see the note on the
previous page about removing the Bed Face Panel) or they can be removed or
cut with bolt cutters from inside the bed cavity. To remove spring from inside
the bed cavity, remove the mattress and have one person climb in near the
mechanism, have the second person close the bed face assembly to relieve
some of the spring tension. Once the spring is removed, re-test the tension.
