3. Attaching the legs
Begin by inserting the frame into the legs. Ensure that the frame head end and the head end
legs are at the same end. These have pre drilled holes as per Fig.1. Attach them using x32 small
nuts and washers provided - x8 per corner, x4 on the outside of the frame (Fig.2) at each corner
and x4 on the inside of the frame at each corner (Fig.3).
4. Attaching the leg brackets
Attach the leg brackets using the x4 medium bolts and washers with
loctite through the frame, Fig.4. Using x3 small bolts with washers attach the top of the bracket to
the underside of the frame with x2 bolts and washers and then into the vertical leg from the inside
with the last bolt and washer. Now bolt on the mattress - there are 2 bolt holes though each of
the two end cross supports Your frame should now look as
below in Fig.5. To secure the legs, use x2 of the x4 long bolts at either end, insert vertically into the
frame (Fig.6).
5. Attaching the headrest
To attach the headrest use x4 bolts into the frame in the drilled headrest holes shown in Fig.7.

6. Inserting the poles
Ensure the grub screws are loose on all four corners to allow the poles to slot into the receptacles,
(Fig.8). Once you have done this you can insert the two head end uprights, one at a time, into
the receptacles. (Note: The head end uprights have three holes drilled through half way up). Slide
the black quick adjust carriages over the top of each pole and tighten in position, see Fig.9. Be
sure that these uprights are installed at the same end of the frame that has the 4 holes for the
headrest.
Insert the other pair of poles in the opposite end with the drilled holes at the top. Once they are
all connected, slide over the roll down bar frame at the foot end as per Fig.10.
7. Attaching the trapeze carriage
Insert the black corner caps in each upright. (Note: there is only
one way they will all slot in correctly, so take your time and align
the holes correctly). Next, insert the x2 short end pieces.
Slide the trapeze carriage over each of the horizontal cross bars
and insert one end at a time into the corner pieces. Align all the
holes ready for the bolts and then use the bolts with the contoured
washers and rounded caps, screw each bolt upward through the
horizontal frame pieces.
At each corner use the bolts with eyelets to attach the uprights to
each black corner piece, Fig.11. Use the x4 black knobs to
position the sliding trapeze frame and the roll down bar frame in
place. These simply screw in as per Fig.12.

8. Attaching push through bar
Insert the push through bar onto the push through bar risers and use the nut and washer on each
side as per Fig.13 to attach the push through bar. At the head end, attach the horizontal eyelets
for the push through bar using the wrench and tighten securely, as per Fig.14.
9. Attaching the trapeze
To attach the trapeze to the runner, insert the eyelets through
the bar and tighten with the wrench securely as per Fig.15.
Now begin attaching the springs. Note: there is no set way to do this,
with the exception the black springs should be used to attach the
frame runner and the trapeze itself using karabiners. Where a spring
connects to the frame a karabiner should be employed, where the
spring connects to the push through bar, handles or roll down bar
please use a double ended dog clip.
Please attach the safety strap for the push through bar, connecting to
the frame, looped over the bar and then connecting back onto itself. Ensure this is supporting the
bars weight before first use. Finally attach the 2 fuzzies to the top rail as shown in the cover pic-
ture. Congratulations!! You have now completed the assembly of your A2 Cadillac.
