！IMPORTANT PISTON INFORMATION
The pistons used in the construction of this product are extremely strong and cannot be operated by
hand when not fitted to the ottoman hinges. All pistons are tested in the factory for correct pressure
and operation before use.
Initially it might appear that the pistons are very stiff when opening and closing the ottoman frame,
THIS IS NORMAL.
After operating the ottoman a few times, the movement of the pistons and the opening and closing of the ottoman
will become easier.

Hints and Tips
To operate the ottoman, always use 2 hands at arm's length and only where illustrated on this product. You must
ensure the mattress is on the bed frame before lifting the mechanism. Failure to do so may result in injury.
To ensure your safety please do not stand too close in case the frame bounces up. The weight of the
mattress loaded on the frame will keep the frame in a lower position until it is pulled upwards by the user.
If removing the mattress, make sure the frame is secured so it does not flip open. When lifting the bed frame,
remove pillows and covers.
PLEASE NOTE - It takes a lot of force to make the initial movement of the ottoman - THIS IS A DESIGN
FEATURE OF THE PRODUCT SO THAT IT DOES NOT FALL SHUT - and the nearer to being closed the
ottoman is , the easier it is to move. When the ottoman is almost shut, it will close completely under its own weight.
When lowering the slat unit for the first time, take care to make sure it does not rub unevenly on the inside face of
the Side Rail. If it does, the bed has been assembled slightly out of square. This can be rectified by moving the
Footboard of the bed slightly to the left or right whilst leaving the hardboard of the bed frame stationary.
Tip for difficulty with compression:
If you are experiencing difficulty with the initial compression try fitting one piston at a time (following the Assembly
Instructions) then press down on the side of the frame with the piston fitted - this acts like a big lever (The weight
of the mattress can be used to supplement the load exerted). Effectively you are doubling the amount of force
applied, because you have halved the resistance offered by the pistons. It can take slightly more effort than you
might feel comfortable applying to the bed frame at first.

Complete Assembly
Your bed frame is now completely assembled but the ottoman will not operate correctly unless a mattress is
placed on the slat frame and will not stay shut unless the mattress remains in position. To position the
mattress on the slat frame, simply place the mattress on top of the slat frame whilst it is in the up (open) position.
Lift with the strap and close with the strap. The strap should always be accessible. Take care not to lean over the bed when
lifting, if the mattress is thin and light, the frame may rise quickly. The speed of closing will also depend on the weight of the
mattress so always keep fingers well clear of the metal frame.
PLEASE NOTE - It takes a lot of force to make the initial movement of the ottoman - THIS IS A DESIGN FEATURE OF THE
PRODUCT SO THAT IT DOES NOT FALL SHUT - and the nearer to being closed the ottoman is , the easier it is to move.
When the ottoman is almost shut, it will close completely under its own weight.
When lowering the slat unit for the first time, take care to make sure it does not rub unevenly on the inside face of the Side
rail. If it does, the bed has been assembled slightly out of square. This can be rectified by moving the Footboard of the bed
slightly to the left or right whilst leaving the headboard of the bed frame stationary.
