Chapter 6: Installing the handles, leg support and mattress.
Optional:
Attach the Velcro straps from Hardware Package #5
for securing the mattress and bedding. Attach approximately
18” down from the leg end and 6” in from the side by inserting
a screw and washer through one end of the Velcro strap and
into the back side of the Bed Face Panel.
This is optional because most mattresses will be held in with
the legs and leg connector rod. We recommend NOT doing this unless needed.

FIG. 6C - LEG ASSEMBLY, RIGHT SIDE
Referring to Fig.
6A and using
the washers
and 5/16”
Nylock nuts
from Hardware
Package #4,
install legs with the washers in order
as shown (3 1/4” from the edge of
the frame).
Tighten Nylock nut with a 1/2” socket
to have a small amount of friction
when the leg assembly is rotated
between the up and down positions.

Hardware Package #4 and securely tighten Hex bolt with a 7/16”
socket.
• The legs and leg connector rod will rotate up when the bed is
closed which will also hold the mattress in place.
