1. Install the remaining Slats (O), Slat Caps (P) and
Double Slat Caps (Q). These will go in Rows 8 and
20 in Twin and Full beds and Rows 8, 11 and 20 in
Queen beds. Use a rubber mallet to tap the Slat Caps
and Double Slat Cap into place, if necessary. Fig. 19.
2. Install the Mattress Support(s) (H) at the head of the
frame by inserting the ends into the appropriate holes
in the frame. Twin beds will have one Mattress
Support; Full and Queen beds will have two.
Fig. 20.
The bed will not stay down without the
weight of a mattress. You MUST have an adult helper
hold down the bed to avoid the risk of serious injury
from the bed suddenly slamming shut.
Before permanently attaching the Door
Panels to the frame, make sure their outside edges
won’t contact the Mounting Plates or any of their
hardware. Door Panels MUST NOT hit the hardware
when the bed legs are retracted and the bed is
lowered beyond the normal horizontal position. If they
do, then you MUST either fine-tune the position of the
Door Panels on the frame, or the Door Panels’ width
MUST
be reduced.
4. Hook the Door Panel(s) (5) onto the frame and
push down until they are firmly in place. Center and
fine-tune the position of the Door Panel(s).
Fig. 17.
5. Pull the bed frame down and have an adult helper
hold it down.
