Step-by-step assembly
Step 1 · manual step 1–2
Bolt a leg to each end of the head and foot rails: 4 bolts (10077870).
Match the square mark on each leg. Careful — the metal edges can be sharp.
Step 2 · manual step 3
Stand the head end up on its legs.
Step 3
Bolt a side rail to the head leg: 2 bolts (10077870).
Let the other end of the rail rest on the rug. Allen key 111631.
Step 4
Bolt the other side rail to the other head leg: 2 bolts.
Step 5
With two people, lift the rails and fit the foot end: 4 bolts (10077870).
Two bolts per leg.
Step 6
Bolt the 2 legs under the centre beam.
2 bolts (105107), each with a washer (10079166) on top. Use 105107 here, not 105100.
Step 7
Set the centre beam in and fix both ends: 4 bolts (105100).
Two bolts through each end plate. Allen key 130445.
Step 8
Tighten the bolt in the side of each corner leg.
4 bolts — Allen key 111631.
Step 9
Fit the 2 corner braces (103160) at the foot end: 4 screws (112522).
Allen key 130445. See the manual, step 9.
Step 10
Tap a cap (10080924) into the top of each corner leg.
Use the hammer — 4 caps.
Step 11
Fit 4 slat clips (10080990) on the side rails.
Push each one into its slot, then slide it — 2 per rail.
Step 12
Fit 2 clips (10081003) at the ends of the centre beam.
Step 13
Lay the 9 strips (10075106) on the side-rail ledges and centre beam.
Three on each. Trim with scissors if needed — see the manual, step 13.
Step 14
Roll out the slatted base on each side of the centre beam.
Tuck the ends under the clips at the head and foot.
Tips & safety
- Two people are needed. In step 5 one person holds the side rails while the other fits the foot end.
- Mind the sharp metal edges. The manual warns about sharp edges in step 1 — handle the rails carefully.
