Install the Slats

 1. Start at the head of the bed, nearest the pivot points 

    on the Left/Right Sides of the Frame (A). 

 

2.  Take two Slats (O) and place a Slat Cap (P) on one 

    end of each. Connect them by inserting the other 

    ends in a Double Slat Cap (Q).

 

3.  Install the slats on the frame by inserting the pins 

    on the Slat Caps (P) and Double Slat Cap (Q) into the 

    corresponding mounting holes in the frame. You might 

    need to bend the Slats slightly and use a rubber mallet 

    to tap the Slat Caps and Double Slat Cap into place. 

  

Fig. 8.

 

4.  Repeat to install all Slats, except those in Rows 8 

    and 20 in Twin and Full beds and Rows 8, 11 and 

    20 in Queen beds. 

Fig. 9. You will install theses 

    Slats later.
