4. Do not remove drawer ties until
bench is installed at it’s final
location for use. The drawer ties
keep the trundle drawer closed while
transferring the bench on casters to
its final location. Take note of the
drawer tie reminder tag located on
one drawer tie (Figure 2 & Detail C).
Caution: The Hiatus Sleeper Bench
is heavy. While transferring the
bench off the pallet and into the
upright position, avoid crashing
the casters to the floor. Maintain
control of the bench while rotating
onto the casters. Avoid pivoting the
bench directly onto the casters while
rotating the bench in the upright
position as this may damage the
casters (Figure 2).
5. With the assistance of a second
person, carefully rotate the bench to
the upright position onto the floor
(Figure 2).
Note: Bench frame locking casters
may be locked. Unlock all four
casters before moving bench to it’s
final location for use (Detail D).
6. Roll the sleeper bench to it’s final
location.

Drawer Tie Removal
1. Once the sleeper bench is in it’s final
location for use, lift and remove the
upholstered mattress and plastic
deck to access the top end of the
drawer ties. Detach the Velcro®hook
ends of the drawer tie from the Velcro
loop patches on the bench frame rail
(Figure 3 & Detail E).
2. Pull the trundle drawer out to expose
the other Velcro connection points
of the drawer ties at the rear panel.
Detach the Velcro®hook ends of
the drawer tie from the Velcro loop
patches on the backrest stiffener
(Figure 4 & Detail F).
Note: Retain the drawer ties for
future relocation of the bench. They
help keep the trundle drawer closed
while moving any distance on
casters.
Note: If the trundle drawer does not
stay sufficiently closed or the drawer
is too hard to pull open, drawer
tension adjustment may be required.
Before placing the plastic deck and
upholstered mattress back onto the
sleeper bench assembly, reference
“Drawer Tension Adjustment”
instructions on the next page.

Tools Required
• Flat Blade Screwdriver
Drawer Tension Adjustment
Note: The spring roller latch
tension is pre-set at the factory. If
upon installation, the drawer does
not stay sufficiently closed and
more tension is needed, the latch
can be tightened. If the drawer is
too hard to pull open, the latch
can be loosened to ease opening.
1. While the trundle drawer is open,
look underneath the center of the
deck. Locate the bottom end of
the spring roller latch at the rear
end of the trundle drawer. Open
and close the drawer to determine
if it has sufficient tension to
remain closed but is not too hard
to open (Figures 5 & 6, Detail G).
2. The slotted end of the spring
roller latch is the tension
adjustment for the drawer
retention while closed, or
resistance to open the drawer.
Use the flat blade screwdriver
to tighten or loosen the roller
latch tension as needed for the
noted conditions. To increase
the tension, turn the adjustment
screw slot clockwise. To loosen
the tension, turn the adjustment
screw slot counter-clockwise
(Figure 6 & Detail G).
