First Select the two headboard posts, lay
AL to the left and AR to the right. These
posts will have a white chalk marking,
these MUST be facing you and at the top
when laying on the carpet.
You will also see two headboard facias
marked Black PART 9 ( 4G), position
these as shown in PIC 1. Lay the long
inserts (PART 12) in between these
ready to join.
Pic 1
Place dowel rods in all the headboard inserts as
described, DO NOT PUSH ALL THE WAY IN. Now
locate the PART 9 facias and push in to create the
headboard. The dowels will straighten as they align.
First Build the Head Boards
NOTE** Locating the Dowel Rods
To keep the bed from rattling all the dowel holes have been
slightly mis-drilled by a couple of mm. When you push parts
together the dowels will straighten and pull together to
ensure a tight fit. Whenever you locate a dowel on the hole
NEVER push it all the way in, leave it so it is loose and can
be aligned with the second locating hole.
Push them all the way in and they will not line up.
NO
YES
Now, remember to ensure the WHITE CHALK markings are
facing upwards locate the dowel rods to each corner post.
Again, do not push in the dowels all the way. Once in place
connect the head board to the corner post, you will again see
the dowels align as you tighten. Then fix using the bolts below.
