Important for Ottoman and other
gas lift beds
Note:
The bed base is in the upright position when first assembled as the gas lifts are
fully extended during shipment for safety. After assembly a firm downward push
will be required to overcome any resisitance in the gas lifts as these may initially
stick. We suggest placing a mattress on top of the bed base to aide this and also
test the operation of your new lift up bed by lifting and pushing down the bed
base a few times to allow the lfting mechanism to bed in.
The lift mechanism provides assistance with the lift of the mattress fitted to the
base. It does not lift the mattress for you. The system has been designed to
effectively lift the base system fitted with a variety of mattress weights and
combinations of depths. Depending on the combination of the mattress weight
and depth determines the degree of assistance provided by the mechanism.
Following the installation of the mechanism lift, pull the base up and down a few
times to free off the system. The gas cylinders fitted to the system may be stiff
when first used or if the system has not been operated for a period of time.
Use the strap handles to lift up the mattress base using two hands. Pull the
mattress base down using two hands equally spaced from the centre of the
mattress base. DO NOT pull down on one side of the base only as this is likely to
damage the base system with potential failure of the mattress base system and
lift mechanism.
Do NOT operate the lift up mechanism without the mattress placed on the base.
Caution:
Do NOT allow children to operate the lift mechanism.
Do NOT allow children near the lift base when operating the mechanism.
Do NOT allow children in the area of the internal storage base.
Keep hands clear of the mechanism when operating the base system.
Do NOT stand inside the bed or the internal storage base.
Do NOT overload the internal storage base.
