Fitting Slat Frame - Use Pack 'B'
During this next step, the assistant should hold up the
slat frame.
On side panels (3&4), slide gas-lift piston stems (X)
onto the axles (Y) then fit the flange lock-nuts (H).
Tighten nuts with spanner (I) - DO NOT over-
tighten. A small gap is left so stems can move
freely - this is important - see sketch below.
Note: Be very careful what
you store under the bed -
the top of an item, like a
suitcase or a box, must not
touch the slats or they shall
be damaged. Maximum
storage height is
185
mm.

Note: Before fitting the mattress, carefully move slat frame up and down against the piston pressure
making sure it slides easily. It is better that two people do this making sure all the mechanism is free.
Note that it shall be stiff to start with. Place frame in the lower position then place mattress on top of
the slats. Depending on the weight of the mattress, the speed of the lift will vary when lifting or
lowering so be careful until you get used to the relevant speed with your own weight of mattress.
Always use the fabric handle to lift or lower the frame - keep fingers well away from the moving parts.
