SETTING THE LIFT MECHANISM
NOTE:
The Bed Face Panel is mounted between the Lift Mechanism Torsion Arms
using the supplied bolts through the holes #1-2-3 you have drilled in the Side Rails.
Set the left and right Tension Arms as shown in Drawing 13.
Place PVC pipe over Tension Arm. While sitting on floor, place one foot against the
edge of the Side Panel to hold the Bed Cabinet from moving from the wall. Pull straight
down (no side motion) so your assistant may place the arm lock in position to hold the
Lift Mechanism in the partially open position. Repeat this procedure with the other
mechanism.
ALERT:
Be sure both arm locks are secure against the hexagon nuts. Do not reach
around or behind the Tension Arms; serious injury may occur if the Tension Arm is
accidentally tripped. If possible, have assistant help in the setting of the mechanism
and the loading of the Bed Face Panel.
Install the two 5/16” x 1 1/4” Allen socket head bolts in the holes #1. The head of the
bolts should be outside the Rails. Use 5/16” x 7/8” washer and 5/16” Nylock nut on the
inside. Securely tighten.
Install two 5/16” x 1 1/4” bolts (heads outside of Rails in holes #3). Put a 5/16” x 7/8”
Flat washer and 5/16” Nylock nut on each bolt from the inside of the Side Rail. Finger
tighten only and leave body of 5/16” bolt protruding on the outside of Side Rail.
Place one 5/16” x 1 1/4” bolt, 5/16” x 7/8” Flat washer, and 5/16” Nylock nut on the
floor by the front edge of each Side Panel - these will be installed in holes #2 after the
Bed Face Panel is mounted to the Lift Mechanism.
NOTE:
Keep the proper size wrenches handy to securely tighten the bolts in holes #2
and #3, which is part of the next step.
