Epoch Design McKenzie MK-TT-BB-NB User manual

Congratulations on the purchase of your McKenzie Bunk Bed. This bed has been crafted to the highest
standards of quality and safety and will give you many years of enjoyment and practical use. Your bunk bed
can be separated into two individual twin beds if the need arises for alternate sleeping congurations.
Since this bed is a natural wood product, there will be variations in color and grain, and minor checking
may occur. This is normal and does not compromise the integrity of your bed. In fact, variation in character
of solid hardwood is integral to the beauty and appeal of hardwood furniture, and distinguishes it from
prefabricated, synthetic and composite materials.
Several basic safety considerations must be adhered to when using this bunk bed.
• Never allow a child under 6 years on upper bunk
• Always use the recommended size mattresses or mattress supports – standard twin 38” x 74” (96.5 cm x 188 cm)
– to help prevent the likelihood of entrapment or falls
• Ensure thickness of mattress does not exceed 9” (22.9 cm) for the upper bed
• Surface of mattress must be at least 5”(12.7 cm) below upper edge of safety rails
• Always use safety rails on both sides of upper bunk
• Do not allow horseplay on or under bed(s) and prohibit jumping on the bed(s)
• Prohibit more than one person on upper bed
• If the bunk will be placed next to a wall, the safety rail that runs the full length of the bed should be placed
against the wall to prevent entrapment between the bed and the wall
• Follow the information on the warning labels appearing on the upper bunk end board and on the carton
• Do not remove warning label from bed
• Periodically check and ensure that the safety rails, ladder and other components are in their proper positions,
free from damage, and that all connectors are tight
• Do not use substitute parts
• Contact manufacturer or dealer for replacement parts
• The use of a water or sleep otation mattress is prohibited
• Keep these instructions for future reference
• Use of a night light may provide added safety precaution for a child using the upper bunk
• STRANGULATION HAZARD- Never attach or hang items to any parts of the bunk bed that are not designed
for use with the bed, including but not limited to hooks, belts or jump ropes
On this insert you will nd a list of the hardware and bunk bed parts included, as well as detailed
assembly instructions. Assembly is quite simple, and requires only a at head screwdriver and a Phillips
head screwdriver. The use of a power drill with Phillips head attachment is helpful but not necessary.
Assembly will be most easily accomplished if you take the time to carefully sort the hardware and
familiarize yourself with the function of each piece.
If you need assistance with assembly, part replacement, or any other matter, please contact the toll-free
Epoch Design Customer Service Team from Monday through Friday, 9 AM-5PM PST at 1 [phone].

You may permanently ax the
ladder to either side of the short
