Chapter 5: Attaching the Bed Face Panel to the Bed Cabinet.
1.
Referring to Fig. 5C, stand the Bed Face Panel in vertical
position between the mechanism arms, lifting until the bolt in
Hole #3
drops in the slotted portion of each mechanism arm.
2.
Gently tilt the Bed Face Panel outward toward you until the
Allen bolts in
Hole #1
hits (and is completely seated in) the
bottom corner notch of each mechanism. This is used as a
positioning guide to align
Hole #2
with the mechanism.
3.
Insert the remaining 5/16 Hex head bolts from Hardware Card #2, through the mechanism
arm into
Hole #2
on each side and thread on the 5/16” Nylock nuts from Hardware Card #2.
Securely tighten these nuts and the nuts on
Hole #3
with the 1/2” Socket and wrench.
4.
Verify the bolts in Holes #2 and #3 have been inserted and secured on each side (4 bolts total).
5.
Tilt the Bed Face Panel outward (to approximately 45 degrees) to release the
mechanism arm locks. You may hear a click as they disengage.

The Bed Face Panel will have a considerable amount of tension at this point.
Balance is not achieved until the mattress is loaded in the bed. DO NOT
attempt to adjust the bed at this time, adjustments will be done later.

FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, NEVER REMOVE THE SCREWS IN TOP NAILER
FROM THE WALL WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING THE BED FACE PANEL.
THE BED CABINET WILL COLLAPSE OTHERWISE.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PRY OFF THE MECHANISM ARM FROM THE FRAME
WHEN THE MECHANISM ARM IS UNDER TENSION. IF YOU NEED TO
REMOVE THE BED FACE PANEL, RE-ENGAGE THE ARM LOCKS AND
LIFT OFF THE BED FACE PANEL. SEE CHAPTER 9, STEPS 1 & 2.
If you have trouble aligning the bolt in hole #2, visit:
breda.us/bolt2
for solutions. To ease
lifting the Bed Face Panel onto the mechanism arms, you can lift one side at a time,
see the video link at the top of this page for a demonstration with one person. King
sizes should always be lifted with two people. If you still have any issues or confusion
on this step, see the video link at the top of this page or contact us to discuss.
