8.6 Fitting the Side Rails
Ensure the bed extension is positioned at the correct length for the side rails that are
being fitted (extended length or standard length side rails). Refer to section 8.8 for
details of how to adjust the bed extension.
Raise the bed to approximately the midpoint of its height range. Refer to section 9.4 for
details of handset operation.
Note: if the side rail finger blocks are already located inside the side rail
channels, remove the finger blocks from just one end of the bed, then proceed
to assembly stage 4 below.
Unscrew the thumb wheels located at the
bottom of each side rail channel.
Insert the top side rail block into one of the
side rail channels until it latches in the lowest
position; note the correct orientation of the
block (release latch to top).
Slide the top side rail, identified by a bent bar, over
the fingers in the top side rail block. This must be
oriented so the bent bar is at the top, otherwise
assembly will not be possible.
Clip the side rail wire over the top side rail block,
identified by the metal release latch at one end.
