NEVER install two assist rails on the same side of the bed.
Assist rail is not designed to be used with any additional rail mounted to the bed.
Install assist rails only in the pre-punched mounting holes in the bed frame. When
mounted correctly the minimum distance between the assist rail in the assist (up)
position and the head board will be appoximately 17 inches.
Mattress MUST fit bed frame and assist rails snugly to reduce the risk of
entrapment.
Installation
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 1 on page 3.
NOTE: Tools required: ½ inch deep socket or use extension
NOTE: Assist rails are shipped in pairs, one right and one left.
NOTE: Right and left are determined by the user's position as if in the bed.
1. Elevate the head section to allow access to the bed frame.
2. On the left side of bed, align the two top threaded bushings of the assist rail with the
bed frame mounting holes.
3. Secure the assist rail to the bed frame using two mounting bolts and locking washers,
DO NOT use assist rails without crossbar installed. Otherwise, injury may result.
Install the crossbar as shown in FIGURE 1. Otherwise, the crossbar will interfere
with the pull tube of the motor possibly resulting in damage to the unit.
4. Align the crossbar with the lower threaded bushing of the left assist rail (FIGURE 1).
5. Secure the crossbar to the left assist rail using one mounting bolt and locking washers.
6. Repeat STEPS 1 and 2 for the right assist rail on the right side of the bed.
7. Align the crossbar with the lower threaded bushing of the right assist rail (FIGURE 1).
8. Secure the crossbar to the right assist rail using two mounting bolts and locking
washers.
NOTE: Ensure that the tube is positioned above the mounting holes before tightening.
