. With 2 people, lift up the face panels and
with the head rail side down, slide the face panels
down so that the bolt sticking out of the side rails
goes into the fork sticking out of the mechanism.
29
. (2) Take the remaining 2 mechanism
fixture bolts and from the inside of the side
rail slide the bolt through (3&4) so that it
goes through the hole in the mechanism arm
as well. Do this on both side rails and (5)
tighten the bolts with a 1/2” wrench.
30
. With a 3/4” wrench tighten the mechanism springs by turning the nut
in the middle of the mechanism so that you only see about an inch left of
thread in front of it. The mech on the right side panel you will push down
on the wrench to tighten and the mech on the left side panel you will pull
up on the wrench to tighten it.

. Make sure that the bed closes tightly at the top
and the gap on the left and right side are the same.
Then while someone holds the face panels down
secure the rear toe kick into the wall with a
mini-
mum of 2
of the 2 1/4” washer head screws.
- If face panels do not close tight at top:
Tighten
the mechanism some more. If it still does not close than
an extra spring will need to be installed. To do so you
must remove the face panels and loosen the springs on
the mechanism so that it is possible to get another spring onto the mechanism.
-
If the legs or bed face is hitting the side panel and preventing it from closing OR the gap on the
left and right is not the same
:
You must shift the bottom of the bed to the left or right, depending on which
side it is hitting until the gap on the left and the gap on the right are the same. Then secure the rear toe kick to the
bottom of the wall with a
minimum of 2
of the 2 1/4” washer head screws.
- Once the gaps on each side of the face panels are the same and the bed face closes tight at the top you can move
onto the next step.
