Chapter 3: Attaching the Bed Cabinet to the wall.
“BED CABINET TOP NAILER” MUST BE FIRMLY ATTACHED
TO THE WALL, OTHERWISE CATASTROPHIC COLLAPSE WILL
OCCUR DURING OPERATION OR WHILE BEING SLEPT ON!
It is the installers responsibility to make sure the bed
is securely attached to the wall, before proceeding past
this page,
MAKE ABSOLUTE CERTAIN
the Bed Cabinet
is firmly attached to the wall. Once the Bed Face
Panel is installed later, there will be in excess of 200
pounds of force applied. SCREWS, DRYWALL ANCHORS OR
TOGGLE BOLTS INTO DRYWALL ONLY ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
***INSUFFICIENT CONNECTIONS MAY RESULT***
***IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!***
Insert long screws (3”) from Hardware Package #10 at each
stud center and secure with a #3 Phillips bit. When inserting
screws, using a power impact driver rather than a drill can
greatly ease the process.
DO NOT attempt to proceed if the Bed Cabinet Top Nailer is
damaged or cracked. Contact BredaBeds for a replacement.
STEP 4
Critical Step
If you purchased a wired or wireless light kit with your bed, you can follow
the directions for installation at this time that came with your kit.
“
Bed Cabinet Bottom Nailer
” will be attached later (Chapter 7).
DO NOT remove the warning tape/label on the Top Nailer.
The tape contains important safety information for
disassembly. If the warning is missing or damaged,
contact BredaBeds to receive replacement tape/label.
To help achieve better alignment and to prevent the middle from bowing, apply
slight upward pressure until the top is level. We suggest using a long level or a
straight edge long enough to cover most of the length along the top shelf.
