35. If the bed does not stay down at all
: The springs may be too tight, loosen the mechanism bolt in
the middle a couple rotations and try again. If now the bed stays down but does not close all the way
then a spring will need to be removed. To do this you must remove the mattress and the face panels by
taking it off of the mechanism arm. After those are removed then loosen the mechanism springs and take
one off of each mechanism. If it is the same number of springs on the top and bottom of the mech then
take the very bottom one off. If it is an odd number of springs and the top has one more springs then the
bottom, then take the top one off. Put the panels back on, Secure them and tighten the springs again.
Place the mattress back on the bed and it should be fixed. Making the springs al ittle tighter or looser
may be required to get it perfect.
If the bed does not close tight at the top against the bridge:
Tighten the springs a couple rotations on
the mechanism and see if that makes it tight at the top and still stays down against the floor when bed is
down. If doing this makes it tight at the top but rises the bed up more than an inch then a spring must be
added. Remove the mattress and face panels from the mechanism arm. Loosen the springs on the mecha-
nism and add one spring to each mechanism. If there are the same springs on top as are on the bottom of
the mechanism then add it to the top. If there are an odd number of springs and the top has one more
than the bottom, add the spring to the bottom. Place the face panels back onto the mechanism arm and
tighten bolts and mechanism springs. Place the mattress back onto the bed and try it again, this should
fix it. Making the springs a little tighter or looser may be required to get it perfect.

. If crown molding was purchased, it just rests on top of the bed so that
the lip comes to the front of the side panels and goes back to the wall. No
Screws or nails are needed to secure it, it has a lip around the edge to hold
it in place and this way if cleaning or dusting above the bed is needed it
can easily be removed. If you wish to attach it using screws you can do so.
