on either side of the saddle.
5. Release the lock on the grey castor at the
head end of the bed, leaving the black
directional castor locked.
5. Unlatch only the plastic transport latch that
holds the beams against the foot pedestal
end. Swing away the latch, parallel against the
beam.
6. Carefully pull the unlocked pedestal end vertical
away from the other pedestal, with one person
on each side of the bed to help as the pedestal
end moves away from the other end.
7. Standing at the side of the pedestal ends, hold
the plastic end cap at the top of the pedestal
with one hand, with the other hand reach
down and firmly lift the cross bar joining the
two lower beams to engage it into its locked
position with the pedestal brackets, so that
the pedestal remains locked upright.
8. Using the 17 mm spanner, tighten the 8 Nyloc
bolts (2 Lower Beam Hinging Bolts and 2
Locking Latch Bolts at each end). Avoid bolts
slipping out of place, as tightening is done!

Note: Adjusting the pedestal end or lifting
the cross bar assists to lock the pedestal
end in an perfectly upright position.
Note: ENSURE that all Nyloc bolts are
TIGHTENED VERY TIGHTLY, in the upper
most position to avoid the latch bolts
slipping out of the slots, as the bed in
used.
9. Using the 5mm Allen Key, replace and tighten
the 4 locking bolts into the same holes on the
saddle, locking the lower beams in place. (The
outside holes are used with a bed extension kit).
NOTE: The bolts may be a tight fit. Gently
lifting the saddle aids fitting each bolt in.
10. Confirm that all bolts are tightened at both
ends of the bed:
• The 4 Saddle Locking Bolts
• The 4 Lower Beam Hinging Bolts
• The 4 Pedestal Latch Locking Bolts.
