4. Now your cabinet is assembled and attached to the wall the headboard can be assembled. This

is a simple arrangement, but important for safety by stopping 'things' falling down behind if the

bed is lifted. A board slightly higher than the mattress, chamfered at the top edge is bolted to

the bed frame. The chamfered end can then be attached to another chamfered edge board with

a piano hinge, allowing it to run up and down automatically (see page 7).

5. Lay the doors face down on the floor. Fix the joining bars supplied to the doors, evenly spaced

and central, attaching piano hinge to the inside face of the lower doors. Allow a 2 mm gap

between all doors.

6. Now attach sub frames in position shown (see page 5). It is very important that the measurement

of 140mm from the top of the door panel to the first hole of the sub frame is accurate, however

if the door size has been either increased or decreased in size from the size advised in this guide

this measurement must be adjusted accordingly. If this measurement in incorrect the geometry

of the bed system will not operate correctly. The doors should be blocked up level with the

plinth, and then the bottom door can be attached to the base (with piano hinge)

7. With the doors attached to the cabinet, the bed frame and sub frame can be joined together

using bolts in the sub frame fixing position.

8. Carefully lift the door and bed frame to its vertical position and check that the doors are correctly

aligned, if not then adjustment can be achieved by sliding the sub frame up or down the doors.

Adjustment of the level of the bed from left to right can be achieved with the allen bolts in the

mechanism lugs and the adjusters on the automatic feet. The adjusters on the footboard, part

of the sub-frame, only sets the footboard vertically when the bed is down.

Adjusting the Bed Mechanism

When the bed is under tension it will hold the doors tight to the cabinet. The mattress must be on the

bed for adjustment (using straps supplied). Checking the cabinet is securely fixed to the wall, adjust

the mechanism with the bed slightly out (see page 4). Tighten hand tight evenly each side then using a

24 mm socket and ratchet (or similar) tighten the mechanisms again eight to twelve turns. The weight

of the mattress and doors will determine the adjustment needed, but the aim is for smooth light action

(note – sometimes springs will creak when settling). Bed, mattress and door should be made to self

balance at 45º angle.

Tilting Doors

If the top doors are tilting once installed, you need to slacken the mechanism off at a 15 degree angle

and then lower the bed into the down position. Once the bed is down you will see there is a black allen

bolt on the mounting plate(s), which needs to be turned anti-clockwise until the doors are level /

straightened. Once this has been done you need to re-tension the mechanism – as above.
