Attaching Side Rail Brackets
Begin by attaching the side rail brackets to the bed head and foot․ Align the brackets with the designated holes and secure them using the provided button head bolts․
4․1 Connecting Brackets to Bed Head and Foot
To connect the brackets, align them with the pre-drilled holes on the bed head and foot․ Ensure they fit snugly and are properly positioned to maintain structural integrity․ Gently slide the brackets into place, making sure they are level and evenly spaced․ Use the provided bolts to secure them firmly, but do not overtighten at this stage․ Double-check the alignment to ensure the brackets are straight and the bed frame remains square for stability․ This step is crucial for the overall stability and functionality of the bed․
4․2 Securing with Button Head Bolts
Once the brackets are aligned, use the provided button head bolts to secure them tightly․ Insert the bolts into the corresponding holes and gently tighten them using the Allen key․ Ensure the bolts are snug but avoid overtightening, as this may damage the threads․ Double-check that all bolts are evenly tightened to maintain the bed frame’s stability․ This step ensures the brackets are firmly attached, providing a solid foundation for the gas lift mechanism․ Properly securing the bolts is essential for the bed’s durability and functionality․
Assembling the Gas Lift Mechanism
Align the gas lift unit with the designated brackets and securely attach the hydraulic struts and lift arms․ Ensure proper alignment for smooth operation․
5․1 Aligning the Gas Lift Unit
Align the gas lift unit with the designated brackets on the bed frame․ Ensure the lift mechanism is positioned correctly to match the pre-drilled holes for secure attachment․ Proper alignment is crucial for the smooth operation of the lift feature․ Use the provided bolts to fasten the unit, but do not overtighten until the entire mechanism is in place․ Double-check the alignment to avoid any functionality issues․ This step ensures the bed’s storage compartment opens and closes effortlessly․
5․2 Attaching Hydraulic Struts and Lift Arms
Attach the hydraulic struts to the gas lift unit and bed frame using the provided bolts․ Ensure the lift arms are securely connected to both the frame and the lift mechanism․ Proper alignment is essential for smooth operation․ Tighten the bolts firmly but avoid overtightening, as this may damage the mechanism․ Once secured, test the lift function to ensure it operates smoothly․ This step is critical for the bed’s stability and functionality, ensuring the storage compartment lifts effortlessly․ Follow the instructions carefully to achieve a sturdy and reliable assembly․
Frame Assembly
Assemble the bed frame by attaching the side rails and support beams․ Ensure the frame is square and sturdy before proceeding to the next step․
6․1 Ensuring the Frame is Square
After assembling the frame, check if it is square by comparing the lengths of both diagonals․ Using a measuring tape, ensure both diagonals are equal․ If they are not, adjust the bolts and nuts accordingly․ Tighten all bolts and nuts firmly but avoid over-tightening, as this could warp the frame․ Verify stability by gently rocking the frame; it should feel sturdy and even․ Use a spirit level to confirm the frame is perfectly aligned․ This step is crucial for ensuring the bed’s stability and proper functionality of the gas lift mechanism․
6․2 Tightening Bolts and Nuts
Once the frame is square, proceed to tighten all bolts and nuts systematically․ Use the Allen key to secure the bolts in a star pattern to ensure even tightening․ Avoid over-tightening, as this may damage the frame or affect its alignment․ Double-check all connections, including side rails and support beams, to ensure they are snug and stable․ Properly tightened bolts and nuts are essential for the bed’s structural integrity and the smooth operation of the gas lift mechanism․ This step ensures long-term durability and safety of the bed frame․
