▪
Before attempting to disassemble the bed ensure these
instructions have been read and fully understood.
▪
Ensure a risk assessment in line with local health and safety
policy is undertaken to ensure that staff are not put at risk
when performing disassembly activities.
▪
Pay special attention when disassembling the bed - individual
sections of the bed are heavy - see section 15.1 for the weight
of individual parts.

mattress’s platform is levelled.
▪

▪
Remove the retaining screw from one of the channels.
▪
Lower the side rails at this end with care until the finger assembly disengages from
the channel.

Relocate the finger assemblies into the channel (see section 6.3).
▪
Re-fit the retaining screw into the channel.
