Install the Gas Springs
2. With an adult helper holding the bed cabinet, lift the front
of the bed frame so it pivots up into the cabinet. Go at least
3" beyond flush at the top. Fig. 14.
1. With the cabinet assembly upright and the bed frame down,
position the bed cabinet 2-3' from the wall where it will be
installed (to give you enough room to work behind it).
3. Install a Gas Spring (18) on each side by snapping one end
onto the Lower Ball Stud Plate (7 and 8) on the Bed Side
Rail (C and D) and the other end on the Upper Ball Stud
Plate (15) on the Cabinet Vertical (I). Fig. 14.
4. With your adult helper securely holding the bed cabinet
and you working from behind the cabinet, push the top
of the bed out 4" or 5" and reattach the Bed Stops (19).
5. Working with your helper, carefully let the bed frame
return to the vertical position.
Mount the Bed Cabinet to the Wall
1. Make sure the cabinet will be able to sit flush against
the wall.
2. Position the cabinet against the wall. Center the bed frame
in the cabinet opening by placing a folded piece of cardboard
between the bed frame and the Cabinet Vertical (I) on each
side near the top.
Be sure to properly orient the Gas
Springs by noting the location of the labels reading, “Mount
this end up.”
To reduce the risk of seriois injury, do
NOT attempt to lower the bed frame assembly until the bed
cabinet has been securely attached to the wall.
