Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Fit the 2 side pieces to the head end.
Studs (100013) with the LONG sleeves (114584) — 2 per side piece, by hand.
Step 2 · manual step 1
Fit the 2 side pieces to the foot end the same way.
Long sleeves (114584) again — hand-tight only, no Allen key yet.
Step 3 · manual step 2
Add 4 more studs (100013) with the SHORT sleeves (112666).
Higher up on each side piece — hand-tight only for now.
Step 4 · manual step 2
And 4 at the foot end — 8 short sleeves in total.
Step 5 · manual step 3
Slide the foot-end rails into the head-end rails.
Step 6 · manual step 4
Lock the length with 4 bolts (100260).
3 lengths are possible — see step 4. Shown: the longest. Allen key 108490.
Step 7 · manual step 5
Fix the 4 slat stops (191315) to the rail ends.
One bolt (100260) up through the rail into each stop — Allen key 108490.
Step 8 · manual step 6
Tighten all 16 sleeves with Allen key 108490.
Corner by corner. Each sleeve must sit flush in the post — not sticking out.
Step 9 · manual step 6
Then the 8 sleeves at the foot end.
Step 10
Lay the slatted base on the rails.
Manual page 7.
Step 11
Push each end slat under its 2 stops.
At the head end and the foot end — manual page 7.
Tips & safety
- Want a shorter bed? Take out the 4 bolts (100260), push the foot end in to the next holes and refit them — 3 lengths, see step 4 and page 8.
- Keep the end slats under the stops. At every length, both end slats must sit under the stops (191315) — manual pages 7–8.
