Hints and Tips
To operate the ottoman, always use 2 hands at arm's length and only where illustration on this product.
You must ensure the mattress is on the bed frame before lifting the mechanism.
Failure to do so may
result in injury.
To ensure your safely please do not stand too close in case the frame bounces up. The weight of the
mattress loaded on the frame will keep the frame in a lower position until it is pulled upwards by the user.
Do not attempt to move the bed whilst the frame is in the upright position
If removing the mattress, make sure the frame is secured so it does not flip open. When lifting the bed
frame, remove pillows and covers.
PLEASE NOTE
- It takes a lot of force to make the initial movement of the ottoman -
THIS IS A DESIGN
FEATURE OF THE PRODUCT SO THAT IT DOES NOT FALL SHUT
- and the nearer to being closed
the ottoman is, the easier it is to move. When the ottoman is almost shut, it will close completely under
its own weight.
When lowering the slat unit for the first time, take care to make sure it does not rub unevenly on the
inside face of the Side Rail. If it does, the bed has been assembled slightly out of square. This can be
rectified by moving the Footboard of the bed slightly to the left or right whilst leaving the headboard of
the bed frame stationary.
Tip for difficulty with compression:
If you are experiencing difficulty with the initial compression try fitting one piston at a time (following the
Assembly Instructions) then press down on the side of the frame with the piston fitted - this acts like a big
lever (The weight of the mattress can be used to supplement the load exerted). Effectively you are
doubling the amount of force applied, because you have halved the resistance offered by the pistons. It
can take slightly more effort than you might feel comfortable applying to the bed frame at first.
