2. Position the first cross bar on top of the head section spring deck angle, between the first
and second deck springs from the head of the bed (approximately eight inches from the
headboard) as shown at left above.
3. Attach the first cross bar to the top of the spring deck: hook one stabilizer under the spring
deck angle as shown at right above; then compress the spring-loaded cross bar enough to hook
the opposite stabilizer under the opposite deck angle, locking the cross bar into place. You may
turn the cross bar to expose the stabilizer, thereby facilitating assembly, but after attachment,
return the rail guides to the upright position as shown at right below.
4. Locate the second cross bar at the foot end,
between the second and third deck springs from
the foot of the bed (approximately 66 inches
from the first cross bar). Install the second cross
bar as described in step 3.
5. Insert each side rail into the rail guides at head
and foot end. Pull the pull knobs until the side
rails engage securely in rail guides, as shown at
right.
6. Articulate the bed through all functions to ensure
that side rails and bed are properly assembled.
WARNING: Ensure that cross bars do not exceed mattress width. If there is space
between the mattress and the side rails, entrapment could occur, or objects could become
entangled between rails and cross bars.
