• 3 mm Allen wrench (hex wrench)
1. Verify your bed has 1/2" or
5

" diameter assist
device mounting holes available.

WARNING:
Do not use the Direct Supply
Zero Opening Assist Device if your bed is not
designed to receive assist devices via the
required sized holes.
Note about hole placement:
The mounting slots on your assist device are not evenly spaced,
and your assist device can be mounted with either set of slots facing either direction (right or left).
If setting up devices on both sides of a bed, align slots so assists on opposite sides of the bed
are oriented as mirror images of each other. Additionally, check the orientation of the assist when
installing the assist for the first time; the position of the assist can be adjusted 1" to 2" by rotating
the mounting plate 180 degrees before installation.
2. Align the assist device mounting plate with the
mounting holes in your bed deck. Ensure there
are two slots in the assist device mounting plate
which align with your bed’s mounting holes.
•
WARNING:
Do not use the Direct Supply Zero Opening Assist Device if the slots do not align
with your bed’s assist device mounting holes.
