2.  Have an adult helper hold the bed frame down while 

    you slide the mattress onto the frame.

 

3.  To return the bed to the cabinet, hold the frame and 

    pivot the Leg assembly up and over the end of the 

    mattress. The Leg assembly serves as a mattress 

    retaining system.

 

4.  Using the handles on the Door Panels, slowly 

    and carefully allow the bed to tilt up into the cabinet.

 1. Once the bed unit has been assembled correctly and 

    secured to the wall, pull the bed down and, while 

    holding the frame securely, pivot the Leg assembly 

    so that it will support the frame when it is 

    fully lowered.

>

 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.

>

 Do NOT use a foam or very light mattress with this 

  product. See required weight specifications on p. 3.

>  TO AVOID THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY,  

  DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY ON 

  THE BED UNIT OR OPERATE IT WITHOUT 

  ADULT SUPERVISION.
