This is an example cabinet construction method using knock down fittings to ensure the mechanism operates correctly. Variations to
construction
should be checked with Pardo. 16 or 18mm thick particleboard doors are recommended.

Step2 - Fixing Cabinet To Wall
* Lay cabinet face down with bottom facing the wall.
* To ensure the cabinet is flush against the wall when upright, it may be necessary to cut a recess
into bottom of left and right hand end of cabinet.
* Place cabinet into position against the wall and, using a spirit level against either the right or left hand end and the top,
find the correct vertical and horizontal position. Mark this position on the wall with a pencil.
PLEASE NOTE
As there is a lot of tension in the Wallbed when in the open position, it is
very important that the cabinet is securely fixed to the wall.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before moving cabinet upright, ensure all cams are tightened securely.
FASTENING OPTIONS 1
(for gyprock, fibro or timber walls)
FASTENING OPTIONS 2
* Ensure cabinet is in correct vertical position.
Drill holes in top of back panel at top in appropriate
position.
* Using a 65mm masonry bit, drill holes into wall and
insert wall plugs supplied.(see above)
* Move cabinet back into place against wall.
* Fix top back panel to wall using 61mm screws. Put
on cover caps.
(for brick/masonry walls)
* Ensure cabinet is in correct position.
* Locate wall studs
* Drill holes in top of back panel at top in correspording
positions to wall studs.
* Using 65mm screws, screw cabinet thru holes in top of
back panel into studs. Put on cover caps

Step3 - Wall Bed mechanism Assembly / Installation
* Bolt bed frame mounting brackets to left and right ends through predrilled holes using sleeves
and bolts provided. (DETAIL C)
* Remove the four (4) long angles from the bed by unbolting at crochet. (DETAIL D)
* Bolt left and right hand counter balance mechanisms to bed frame.
* Prior to fitting bed frame into cabinet,Be sure leveling screws are protruding
2-3mm out of -the bottom of the block (for later adjustment). Sit pivot block into
mounting brackets. (Diagram 4) When complete, leave bed frame vertical in cabinet.
* Using screws provided, fit piano hinge to bottom of bottom door.
Hinge bottom door to skirting as detailed in. (Diagram 5)
* Screw the outer fixing angles #1 + #4 through elongated holes (Diagram 6) to the back of the top
and bottom door into pre-marked holes in the doors. Remember to leave a 3mm gap between
the top and bottom doors. (diagram 6)
* Lift top door at right angles (90º) to the bottom door. (diagram 6)
* Lower bed frame and guide bed frame leg into top door sleeve as shown. (diagram 7)
* Re-attach bed frame to angles using bolts through crotchets.
Note: Doors are now ready to lift upwards. As there is no tension on the mechanism, the doors are very heavy.
PLEASE NOTE
DO NOT LET GO OF THE MECHANISM AS IT WILL SPRING BACK INTO THE CABINET AND
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
(Ensuring counter balances are to the outer extreme edges of the frame).

* With one person each side of the bed, lift doors up to within 30º of closing. (Diagram 8)
* With a large 24mm socket turn tension handle clockwise on counter balance mechanisms to adjust tension.
(Approximately 30 quarter turns would adjust tension sufficiently for a medium weight mattress.)
* Test by lowering the cabinet doors to floor and up again. The correct tension is achieved when the bed frame and doors
lift slightly off the floor without the weight of a mattress.
* Once the correct tension is achieved close doors to cabinet.
Doors should meet flush with each other and with cabinet, otherwise adjustment will be necessary. (Diagram 9).
* Where adjustment is necessary, adjust BOTTOM DOOR ONLY . Lower doors to floor and move angles up or down in
elongated holes until doors meet flush with cabinet. (Diagram 9)
* The gap between the top and bottom doors should be 3mm. If this is not the case, or if the doors do not meet squarely,
then adjust by moving angles on the TOP DOOR ONLY , until a level 3mm gap is achieved.
*
When door adjustment is complete, secure position of angles against TOP DOORS by screwing home all other angle screws.
* While the bed is open, fix the middle fixing angles #2 & #3 (Diagram 6) to he back of the door and by bolting it to the crotchet.
Test the adjustment of the door again by closing up the bed, further adjustment may be necessary.
*
If Headboard #8 and pillowcatch #9 are being used, hinge them together using piano hinge provided. (Diagram 1, pillowcatch)
* Bolt Headboard to bottom of bed frame through predrilled holes with bolts and nuts provided.
* Attach handles to doors.
* Attach bed straps to sides of bed frame by sliding ends through sewn loops over frame edge, approximately 300mm from
head and foot of bed frame, and tighten until secure.
* Slide mattress onto bed frame and secure with bed straps.
* Close doors and again ensure that they meet flush with each other and with cabinet. Final adjustment may be neccessary
and can be done by turning leveling screws in mounting block whilst the bed is open at 30º. (Diagram 10)
WARNING
When operating the Wallbed mechanism the bed frame must be carefully lowered
all the way to the floor and not left to drop freely. If the bed frame is lowered
without the
weight of a mattress it may spring back causing injury.
* When door adjustment is complete, secure position of angles against BOTTOM DOORS by screwing home all other
angle screws.

Plan n.t.s.
NOTE: DOORS
1. WE RECOMMEND TOP DOOR (3) & BOTTOM DOORS (4) ARE MADE IN ONE PIECE AS PER CUTTING
LIST. THIS ENSURES MORE ACCURATE DOOR ALIGNMENT ON CLOSING OF BED.
2. TOP DOOR CAN BE INCREASED IN HEIGHT AS LONG AS CABINET HEIGHT IS INCREASED AS WELL.
ALL OTHER DOOR SIZES SHOULD REMAIN
NOTE: CABINET CONSTRUCTION
THIS IS THE RECOMMENDED CABINET
CONSTRUCTION METHOD TO ENSURE THE
MECHANISM OPERATES CORRECTLY.
VARIATIONS OF CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BE
CHECKED WITH PARDO PRIOR TO CHANGES.
16mm or 18mm THICK PARTICLEBOARD DOORS
ARE RECOMMENDED.
