UNDERSTANDING CAM FITTINGS
The unit is assembled using what’s known
as cam fittings. This system allows for
easy and exact alignment of parts and
are what secures the bed pieces together.
There are two parts to this system: the
cam fittings (Fig. A) found in hardware
package #6 and cam screws (Fig. B) found
in hardware package #1. When inserting
cam fittings, it’s important to properly align the flat part of the fitting with
the edge of the board (Fig. C). Cam fittings are tightened by inserting a #1
Phillips screwdriver at a slight angle through the top hole and twisting until
snug (Fig. D). Once tightened, cam fittings have an equal holding strength
as screws. Never use an electric drill to
tighten cam fittings, always hand-tighten.

Turn cam fittings clockwise until snug,
being careful not to over-tighten
which can cause breakage.
