Replacement Procedure: (This procedure will take approximately 10 minutes)
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket. Remove upper lift cover (see page 67).

tive caster off the floor a few inches. IMPORTANT: See page 69 for proper bed lifting procedure.
3. Using a 1/2” socket with extension under the base, remove the four castle nuts (A) holding the caster as-
sembly to the base.

NOTE
The upper lift cover was raised to allow access to the four carriage bolts which need to be held when the four
castle nuts are reinstalled.
