reference points.
1. Run the bed fully up and apply the brakes. Raise the siderail needing repair.
2.
Unplug the bed power cord from the wall outlet.
3.
Using a small slotted head screwdriver, lift and remove the following self-sticking parts: the

holding the siderail cover. Proceed gently when inserting the screwdriver under the labels to
avoid scratching the molded rail.

Do not reuse the self-sticking parts removed since their self-adhesive coating considerably
looses its efficiency once they are removed. Replace them with new parts.
4. Using a no. 2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the eight screws (D) holding the cover to the
siderail and remove the cover.
The eight screws (D) must be replaced with new identical screws because their Scotch-Grip
coating is less efficient once they have been tightened and removed thereafter.
5. Remove the yellow locking lever (E).
6.
Using a no. 2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw (F) holding each siderail arm plastic
cover and lift up the covers to remove them.
7.
Using a 5/32" Allen key, remove the two Allen screws (G) holding each pommel to the
siderail arms. Leave one loosened screw on each pommel until ready to remove both
pommels.
8.
While supporting the rail, remove the two last screws, the pommels, the bungee cord and
finally the rail.

differently.
