8.2 Assembling the Bed
• Whilst supporting one of the bed ends, lift one
of the mattress platform halves and hook into
the bed end (8.2.1). Adjust the position of the
mattress platform half if necessary to ensure
it is hooked centrally onto the bed end. Turn
the locking collars into their locked position,
indicated by the warning label on the collar.
When turning the collar to the locked position
it will rise and then fall, this is the self locking
mechanism engaging. Note: If this action is
being undertaken by a single person Sidhil
recommend that the castors are braked
before assembly commences.
• Repeat for the remaining bed end and mattress
platform half.
• Release the brakes on the castors on both bed
ends.
• Bring both halves of the bed together (8.2.2)
and align each section so that the spigots in
the backrest section locate into the open tube
ends in the leg section. Pull the two sections
together and tighten the two hand wheels.
• Place the clevis pins through the holes by both
central joints with the head of the pin on the
outside of the bed. Place the plastic spacer
over the end of the pins and insert the ‘R’ clips
from the top of the bed through the hole in the
pin (8.2.3).

Caution
Warning
• The bed must never be used if the hand wheels and / or clevis pins and associated ‘R’
clips are loose or missing - Risk of bed collapse.
• The bed must never be used with the locking collars in the unlocked position or if
missing - Risk of bed collapse.
Ensure all tie wraps/hook and loop tape (or similar) securing any of the sections in place
are removed prior to operation - Damage to the frame could occur.
