Attach The Centre Rail
(Double/Kingsize Beds ONLY)
From the inside of the bed we need to attach metal brackets, one either end. These are fixed using
the small screws (L), these are fixed to bottom headboard facia. Using a tape mark a centre line
from each corner post, then measure and mark
55mm
from the top of the BLUE Facia(13). Now
position the top of the bracket (J) just below this mark, attach with the small screw (L)
Attach the centre rail support leg
The centre leg is located under the
centre rail, in the centre. Simply
measure to the centre of the bed
and locate under the centre rail.
Using two black screws attach
from the side.
It is IMPORTANT that this is positioned correctly and remains in place while the bed is being
used, failure to fix will weaken the bed. This part is manufactured using recycled timber as the
component is out of sight. The centre leg will hover slightly off the floor, when the bed is in use
it will move down and support the bed. This is to protect the leg if the bed moves.
We Now need to attach the base slats.
You will have twelve extra wide base slats. Push the first slat tight
with the footboard corner posts, then using the base slat spacer block
evenly space out the remaining base slats. DO NOT SCREW IN
PLACE YET.
Now push the slats flush to the left hand side rail and screw in (do not
screw the right hand side yet). Now go to the right hand side and start
with the slat near the centre. Push the side rail in so the slat is flush,
then fix using the screw. This aligns the side rail. Now fix the
remaining base slats.
TIP:-When you have attached the base slats you will
have additional base slats screws. Out of the 12 slats
screw 4 of them directly into the centre rail. Using the
base slat screws simply drill through the top of the base
slat into the centre rail. This will further strengthen the
bed.
