* With one person each side of the bed, lift doors up to within 30º of closing. (Diagram 8)
* With a large 24mm socket turn tension handle clockwise on counter balance mechanisms to adjust tension.
(Approximately 30 quarter turns would adjust tension sufficiently for a medium weight mattress.)
* Test by lowering the cabinet doors to floor and up again. The correct tension is achieved when the bed frame and doors
lift slightly off the floor without the weight of a mattress.
* Once the correct tension is achieved close doors to cabinet.
Doors should meet flush with each other and with cabinet, otherwise adjustment will be necessary. (Diagram 9).
* Where adjustment is necessary, adjust BOTTOM DOOR ONLY. Lower doors to floor and move angles up or down in
elongated holes until doors meet flush with cabinet. (Diagram 9)
* The gap between the top and bottom doors should be 3mm. If this is not the case, or if the doors do not meet squarely,
then adjust by moving angles on the TOP DOOR ONLY, until a level 3mm gap is achieved.
* When door adjustment is complete, secure position of angles against TOP DOORS by screwing home all other angle screws.
* While the bed is open, fix the middle fixing angles #2 & #3 (Diagram 6) to he back of the door and by bolting it to the crotchet.
Test the adjustment of the door again by closing up the bed, further adjustment may be necessary.
* If Headboard #8 and pillowcatch #9 are being used, hinge them together using piano hinge provided. (Diagram 1, pillowcatch)
* Bolt Headboard to bottom of bed frame through predrilled holes with bolts and nuts provided.
* Attach handles to doors.
* Attach bed straps to sides of bed frame by sliding ends through sewn loops over frame edge, approximately 300mm from
head and foot of bed frame, and tighten until secure.
* Slide mattress onto bed frame and secure with bed straps.
* Close doors and again ensure that they meet flush with each other and with cabinet. Final adjustment may be neccessary
and can be done by turning leveling screws in mounting block whilst the bed is open at 30º. (Diagram 10)
WARNING
When operating the Wallbed mechanism the bed frame must be carefully lowered
all the way to the floor and not left to drop freely. If the bed frame is lowered
without the weight of a mattress it may spring back causing injury.
* When door adjustment is complete, secure position of angles against BOTTOM DOORS by screwing home all other
angle screws.
