7.6 FOLDING ASSIST BAR INSTALLATION
The FL250 Folding Assist Bar is designed to provide self-support and assistance
for positioning and movement within the bed, as well as when getting into and
out of the bed.
The Folding Assist Bar is able to be neatly tilted down to parallel with the side
of the bed when it is not required, or if it is preferred to be out of the way of
transfers in or out of bed.
IMPORTANT: The attachment hardware required for the FL250 Side Panels is
different for Single vs King Single FL250 Beds. Therefore TWO items or SKU’s
must be supplied / sold to correctly fit the Side Panels:
Carton Contents:
2 piece set includes:
• 1 x folding assist bar. 2 x bolts attached to folding bar base
• 1 x flat mounting plate. 2 x bolts, bushes and dome nuts – attached to plate
NOTE: If side panels are already fitted to the bed, they must be removed before
the folding assist rail can be attached. They need to be removed from the entire
bed or just the panel where the folding assist rail is wanting to be attached.
Recommended Tools:
• Power Drill
• Right Angled Power Drill Adaptor
