THAT ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR USE WITH THE BED; FOR EXAMPLE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
HOOKS, BELTS AND JUMP ROPES.
ALWAYS USE THE LADDER FOR ENTERING AND LEAVING THE UPPER BUNK.
THE MATTRESS PLATFORM IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT A MATTRESS WITHOUT THE NEED
FOR A POSTURE BOARD OR BOX SPRING.
ALWAYS USE THE RECOMMENDED SIZE MATTRESS OR MATTRESS SUPPORT, OR BOTH, TO
HELP PREVENT THE LIKELIHOOD OF ENTRAPMENT OR FALLS.

ALWAYS USE GUARDRAILS ON BOTH LONG SIDES OF THE UPPER BUNK. IF THE BUNK BED
WILL BE PLACED NEXT TO THE WALL, THE GUARDRAIL THAT RUNS THE FULL LENGTH OF THE
BED SHOULD BE PLACED AGAINST THE WALL TO PREVENT ENTRAPMENT BETWEEN THE BED
AND WALL (APPLICABLE FOR BUNK BEDS WITH FULL LENGTH GUARDRAILS ON ONE SIDE).
PERIODICALLY CHECK AND ENSURE THAT THE GUARDRAIL, LADDER AND OTHER
COMPONENTS ARE IN THEIR PROPER POSITION, FREE FROM DAMAGE, AND THAT ALL
CONNECTORS ARE TIGHT.
