3.7 Adaptable bed extension (option)
3.7.1 Installation (with split safety sides)
4 Pull the safety side straight up
and then out of the slits in the long
bed frame tube, as smoothly as
possible
The bed can be fitted with an extension at the foot end that extends the length of the mat-
tress base by 20 cm. The free space created is filled with an insert and a mattress piece.
Before extending the bed, observe the following points:
• The bed must not be occupied!
• The bed must be immobilised with the brake.
• The side panel at the foot end must be removed and replaced with a longer one (see
Part B: Side panels » 18).
• The split safety sides (TSG) at the foot end, if fitted, must be dismantled and replaced
with longer ones (see
Part B: Split safety sides » 27).
• The bars of the full-length safety sides (DSG) (8), if fitted, must be dismantled and re-
placed with longer ones (see
Part B: Full-length safety sides (DSG) » 24).
Proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the footboard (see Part B: Headboard and footboard » 15).
2. Insert the bed extension into the long tube of the mattress base as far as it will go.
