Drill necessary holes to attach the Lift Mechanism and the fold down legs. Dimensions are in Drawing 9.
STOP!
If you are assembling the Bed Face Panel in the
Horizontal
Orientation, Drill Holes #1,#2, and #3
AND the Leg Pivot Holes must be put into the END RAILS, not the side rails as shown. The drawing
indicates where these holes must be drilled for mounting the mechanism and leg assemblies to Bed Rails for
vertical orientation; subtract 3/4” (19mm) from all dimensions for horizontal beds to allow for wood thickness.
Drill through the four Cleats at approximate 4” (100mm) intervals in both directions so they may be attached
to the rails as well as to the Bed Face. Lay the rails out on the Bed Face Panel so you will not confuse left
or right and the head and front of the Bed Face final assembly.
Glue and screw the Cleats and Rails together. Be sure the Cleats are inset 3/4” (19mm) from both ends of
the proper rail. Be sure that the Cleats are on the inside of the Rails. Use #8 x 1 1/4” screws for this
procedure.
Refer to Drawing 9 and drill the holes in the Side and End Rails for securing with three Confirmat screws
at each corner of the Rails.
NOTE:
The Bed Face Panel Unit absorbs the most weight and stress of all the Bed Cabinet components,
therefore the unit must be glued and screwed at the time of assembly. Do not finish the wood components
of this unit until it is completely assembled. This will assure maximum strength from the glued joints.
Position Bed Face Panels face down on a flat surface. Position three Stiffeners in locations shown in
Drawing 10 - ends of stiffeners should be 2 3/8” (60mm) from edges of Face Panels to allow for Side Rails
and Cleats. At this time drill two rows of pilot holes in the Stiffeners approximately 4” (100mm) apart and 1”
(25mm) from both sides of the Stiffener.
ALERT
: use caution not to drill into the seam of the Face Panels.
