Use the hand control to elevate the head of the
bed so the bed base frame is reachable.
A
Slide the inner headboard bracket (D) horizontally
with the “C” opening facing down under the
crossbar. Position the bracket (D) in the guide peg
on the bottom of the crossbar. Insert a headboard
bolt (G) fitted with a 5/16 inch washer (I) through
the pre-drilled hole in the crossbar and into the
pre-drilled slotted hole in the “C” channel inner
headboard bracket. Tighten in place with a
5/16 inch washer (I) and 5/16 inch nut (J). Repeat
on the other side.
B
Place the open side of the outer headboard
bracket (E) onto the exposed square tube of the
inner headboard bracket (D) to create a tight fit
between (D) and (E). Insert a retainer bolt (G)
fitted with a 5/16 inch washer (I) into the outer
headboard bracket (E) and through the inner
headboard bracket (D). Hand tighten using a
5/16 inch washer (I) and a 5/16 inch nut (J).
(Leave loose enough for adjusting.) Repeat on
the other side.

When headboard brackets are assembled, make
sure there is a space of 1.5 to 2 inches (38.1 to
50.8 mm) between the edge of the bed base and
the headboard brackets.
D
Securely fasten the headboard bolts (not included
with your Adjustable Base) to the end of the
headboard bracket assembly.
E
Measure the distance from the center of one
mounting hole in the headboard to the center of
the other.
F
Measure the distance from the center of one
mounting hole in the headboard bracket
assembly to the center of the other.

If you need to adjust the headboard brackets,
unscrew the bolts holding the outer headboard
brackets and move them the necessary distance.
Reinstall the bolts and securely tighten.
