Introduction
The Bed Lift distributed by Lippert Components, utilizes a unique nylon strap-based system, adaptable to
a broad range of RV and heavy truck applications including cabs, living rooms, slide-out rooms and master
bedrooms. The straps retract into the bed base, concealing the lifting system in the retracted position,
permitting OEMs more floor plan design freedom. The nearly silent Bed Lift system is operated by a single
motor that controls four support mounts to raise and lower the bed at 58.4 mm (2.3 in) per second. The
363 kg (800 lbs) capacity system can be customized in both size and configuration to maximize space in
any motorhome, towable RV or truck cab floor plan design. The system can even “bend” to conform to wall
curvatures found in some motorhome cabs.

Stabilizer Channel Guides
Stabilizer Channel Guides have different properties depending on the shape, but generally they should
be mounted furthest away from each other, and on the side of the bed facing the front of the vehicle. This
is because it’s the safest position, since the mass of the bed during braking or crash is at least partially
supported by the internal structure and furniture of the vehicle.
NOTE: Prior to installing the stabilizer channel guides, the excess length of the stabilizer channel guides
can be removed with a metal cutting tool.
NOTE: Quantity of screws for each stabilizer channel guide depends on the material of the wall and
backing of the unit. If installing on a unit with aluminum backing in the wall, use a minimum size of
#10 x 1" self-tapping screws. If installing on a unit with wood backing in the wall, use a minimum
size of #10 x 1" self-drilling screws.

Flex Track For Wires
Prior to installing the flex track, make sure the Bed Lift is in its fully extended position.
1. Position the flex track under the bed frame, where the wiring is that needs to be protected.
NOTE: The Flex Track is designed so that it only articulates or bends in one direction. Do not attempt to
bend the Flex Track in a direction it does not freely move. Doing so will cause damage to the Flex
Track and hinder its operation.
2. Mount the flat end of the Flex Track to the bed frame (Fig. 32A), using the two provided
wood lag screws (Fig. 32B) through the channel slots (Fig 32C) on the mounting bracket (Fig. 32D).
3. Position the mounting plate (Fig. 33A) on the unit wall, as close as possible to the entry point for the
wiring to be protected.
NOTE: Make sure the protected wiring is not pinched by the mounting plate.
4. Fasten the mounting plate to the bottom of the bed lift with three provided wood lag screws (Fig. 33B).
5. Attach the remaining loose end of the Flex Track to the mounting plate with two provided wood lag
screws (Fig. 33C), through the channel slots (Fig. 33D). The Flex Track must remain as horizontal as
possible, and parallel to the bottom of the bed lift. Small adjustments can be made with the channel slots.
6. After the Flex Track has been properly installed, it can now be utilized to protect and guide vital wiring
to the Bed Lift. One side of the Flex Track is equipped with the unique retaining tabs
(Fig. 34A) that allow wires to run through its interior. If installed properly, the Flex Track retaining tabs
will be located on the outer diameter of the Flex Track assembly. To secure the loose wiring, press the
item to be secured firmly against the retaining tab (Fig. 34A). The retaining tab will momentarily give
way, capturing the loose wiring, before returning to its closed position.
7. Continue securing the length of the wires (Fig. 35).
