Flex the bottom end of the corner post on the Dropside side of Footboard X
away from the Dropside V. The purpose of this process is to create a gap
for the Lower Guide Pins Dto pass through so that the Lower Guide Pins
can be inserted into the long groove of the plastic Lower Tracks. As you
prepare to accomplish this please note the following:
If the Stabilizing Bar Assembly Twas not loosened enough (as described
in PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION OF DROPSIDE in the beginning
of this Step 5) there will not be enough slack to create the necessary gap
required for the Lower Guide Pin Dto pass through. Prematurely forcing the
pin through a gap with inadequate clearance could damage the finish on the
Dropside V. If your crib has too small of a gap, then lower Dropside Vto its
lowest position and check to verify that preparation at beginning of Step 5
was performed correctly.
If it was performed correctly, but the gap is still too small, it may be because
the Stabilizing Bar Tassembly needsto be pulledaway from thebottom rails
of the Footboard Xor Headboard Y. Check to verify that the End Plates M

After the Lower Guide Pin DD

Dhas been installed into the long groove on
Footboard X, then repeat this process on Headboard Y. After both Lower
Guide Pins Dare installed, very carefully and slowly raise the Dropside V
up until it locks into its raised position. Be very careful to watch to ensure that
the Lower Guide Pins Dlocated in the grooves do not slip out during the
process of raising Dropside V.

Check the function of Dropside V. To lower the Dropside, lift
up on the Dropside Vtop rail with your hand near the middle
and then press in with your knee on the center of the Dropside
bottom rail. The Dropside Vwill then lower. To lock the
Dropside in the raised position, just lift it up until it locks into
place. Always verify that both ends of the Dropside Vare
locked in the raised position whenever child is placed in crib.
Only lower the Dropside Vwhen attending to child. Lower crib
