Gas strut/piston best use:
·Use caution when operating - always use two hands.
·Only attempt to close the ottoman frame, once the mattress has been placed on the frame.
·The thicker side of the cylinder should be above the thinner side - this will increase longevity ofthe part.
·Only attempt to close the frame with two hands from the footboard side, slowly increasing the pressure
until the frame starts moving downwards.
·Closing the frame for the first time may be difficult, as the cylinder needs cycling and lubricating. After
closing for the first time, open and close a further 5 times.
·If the frame is stuck open and unable to be closed, we recommend getting assistance from a second
person, both applying equal pressure from each side of the footboard until the frame closes, this may
require more force than expected. Stop applying pressure if the metal frame begins to warp – contact
customer services at this point.
Top tips:
·Do not attempt to close the gas strut/piston by hand, it can only be compressed once added to the frame
·Ensure the frame can move freely before adding the gas struts/pistons
·Check the frame is fully square, being offset can cause the frame to catch on the side rail
