1) Before beginning the actual assembly of your frame, make sure that all of the parts
described on the front page are included in your frame’s box.
2) Locate the backrest (the backrest has a rounded top rail). Locate the seat. With the
slats in seat and backrest facing downward, slide the back (holes are nearer the back) of
seat between legs of backrest (Figure 1).
3) Line up the hole in backrest with the end hole in seat. Push a clevis pin through hole
until it bottoms out in backrest. Place a flat washer over the clevis pin and insert a hair
pin into clevis pin. Repeat for opposite side (Figure 2).

4) Locate backrest. Place clevis pin through narrow end of a nylon roller and then
through one of the two remaining holes in the side of backrest. Place a flat washer on
the end of the clevis pin. Insert hair pin through clevis pin hole. Repeat this step for
remaining rollers (Figure 3).
5) Locate kickers. Insert a clevis pin through side of kicker. Push clevis pin through
remaining hole inside of seat. Secure clevis pin with flat washer and hair pin. Repeat
for opposite side (Figure 4).
6) Locate plastic stops. Locate four small holes on bottom of seat (2 at each end). Insert
stops into frame (Figure 4). Use Phillips screwdriver to set screws. Do not use a screw
gun and be careful not to over tighten screws.

6) Locate arm assemblies and one of the cross rails. Place a barrel nut in each hole in side
of cross rail. Make sure that the threaded holes in barrel nuts line up with holes in ends
of rail and that the slotted end of barrel nut is exposed (Figure 5). Also, make sure that
the rail marked “Front” is facing with the metal guards up and the front sticker to the
inside of the frame.
8) Place JC bolt through top hole in outside of arm assembly’s front leg and start it
into a barrel nut in one of the cross rails. Be sure slotted end of barrel nuts are toward
inside of frame. DO NOT TIGHTEN! If bolt won’t start, use slotted screwdriver to
position barrel nut. Leave about 1/4” of play. Place JC bolt through bottom hole and
start it, also leaving 1/4” of play. Repeat procedure for other arm. When all four bolts
are set, gently pull back legs apart just past point of armrest being parallel (Figure 5).
9) Turn backrest/seat assembly over so slats are facing upward. With backrest still lying
flat on the floor, pick end of seat up until it rests on backrest (Figure 6).

10) With the help of a friend, pick up backrest/seat assembly and place into arm/cross rail
assembly completed in step #8. The two nylon rollers on backrest will slide into groove
on inside of each arm (Figure 7). Pull backs of arms together to hold seat in place.
11) Tighten JC bolts in front leg. Fasten remaining cross rail to back legs of arm assembly
as shown in Figure 5. Tighten securely.
12) Locate two long trim pieces. Push top dowel into hole on front leg under armrest
(Figure 1). Turn the Brass Plated screw into the pilot hole. Repeat for other side.
13) Locate two short trim pieces. They will be labled “R” and “L”. Attach “R” to
back leg of right arm and “L” to back leg of left arm (Figure 1).
Note: Not all models require steps 12 & 13

To Convert Into A Sofa
1) While standing in front of the sofa-bed convertible, lift the seat up and toward the
backrest until the wooden kickers slide into notches in the backrest’s legs (Figure 3).
2) Pull the seat forward about an inch to release it from the locked position (Figure 3).
3) Push down on front end of seat. This will raise backrest into its sofa position (Figure 4).
4) When the seat comes to rest on the front cross rail, push the seat backwards until the
plastic stops fall behind the rail.
NOTE: If you have any difficulties, check that the backrest is out of the locked position
and that the kickers are in proper position.
1) While standing in front of the sofa-bed convertible, grasp the front seat rail. Lift seat up
about an inch, high enough to clear the plastic stops (Figure 1)
2) Slowly pull the seat assembly toward you until the roller in the back leg rests at the
bottom of its groove (Figure 1).
3) Set the seat section down (Figure 1).
4) Push seat section back (about an inch) so that it locks into the bed position (Figure 2)
