Step 1 - Cabinet Assembly
NOTE: STEP 1. IS ONLY REQUIRED IF PURCHASING CABINET WITH BED MECHANISM
* Place right hand end #4 on top of panels #1, #2, #5 and #6 ensuring all wooden dowel and cam bolts are
inserted correctly. Tighten all cams.
Refer to Diagram 3
* Lay left hand end #4 on floor with
cam bolts upright.
* Join shelf #2 to left hand end #4 and
tighten cams.
* Join top #1 to left hand end #4 and
tighten cams.
* Join top back rail #3 to left hand end
#4, top #1 and shelf #2. Tighten cams.
*
Join bottom back rail #7 to left
hand end #4 and tighten cams.
* Join front skirting #6 to left hand
and #4 and tighten cams
Refer to Diagram 2
* Using hammer, tap cams into 20mm holes in all panels where required.
* Screw cam bolts into 5mm holes in all panels where required.
Hammer fix cam in place. Screw fix cam bolt into 5mm holes.

Step 2 - Fixing Cabinet To Wall
* Lay cabinet face down with bottom facing the wall.
* To ensure the cabinet sits neatly against the wall when upright, it may be necessary to cut a larger recess
into bottom of left and right hand end of cabinet to go over skirting. (refer to detail B)
* Lift cabinet at top, pushing towards wall, being careful to have sufficient ceiling clearance.
* 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.
* Locate wall studs and mark clearly with pencil.
* Sit angle brackets in cabinet top, flush with top and
back edge and against the wall studs. Ensure that the
twin hole side of bracket is against the wall.
* Fix angle brackets through wall into studs using
65mm screws provided.
* Ensure cabinet is in correct vertical position.
Fix bottom of brackets into cabinet top using
16mm screws.
FASTENING OPTIONS 1
USING ANGLE BRACKETS
(for gyprock, fibro or timber walls)
FASTENING OPTIONS 2
* Ensure cabinet is in correct vertical position.
* With a pencil or nail, mark the wall through the
predrilled holes in the top back rail and the
bottom back rail.
* Move cabinet back into place against wall.
* Fix top back rail to wall using 61mm screws.
Put on cover caps.
(for brick/masonry walls)
* Move cabinet aside. Using a 6.5mm masonry bit,
drill 60mm deep holes into wall and insert wall plugs
supplied.
* Fix bottom back rail to wall. Countersink screws
to avoid pillow catch scraping on them.

Step 3 - DIY Mechanism Assembly / Instructions
* Attach spring mechanisms (#4) to front and back cradle (#6) using small nuts and bolts provided. Ensure to attach the
wall mounted brackets (#5) with the ends turned inwards together with the spring mechanism to the top rear bolt.
(See diagram 4)
* Fix the cradle assembly to the floor using the 75mm screws provided. 50mm green wall plugs are also provided if
fixing to concrete floor.
* Once the cradle is fixed to the floor, fix the wall mounted brackets (#5) to the wall using the 28mm screws provided.
50mm green wall plugs are also provided if fixing to concrete or brick walls.
* Lower the bed frame in between the mechanism arms and bolt through the predrilled holes to the cradle assembly.
You might find that the bed frame will be a tight fit in between the mechanism arms. (See diagram 4)
* Remove the split pin and washer from the extension (#8) and attach the connecting rod (#3) to the extension through
the predrilled hole on the connecting rod (#3) and replace the washer and then the spit pin. You might need to lower
the bed frame slightly to line up the extension (#8) and the connecting rod (#3). . (See diagram 4)
* Attach the red handle supplied to the Automatic foot (#1) using the screws provided. To avoid damage to the
connecting rod, be sure that the bed is lowered using the red handle.
NOTE: If fixing through a carpet floor, it is recommended that a small cut be made in the surrounding
area to be drilled so that no threads are pulled in the carpet pile. Also if fixing to a timber floor, 2mm
pilot holt is to be drilled in the floor before screwing through the cradle into the floor.
NOTE: It is very important that the cradle is fixed back to the wall and floor securely as there will be
substantial tension exerted on the cradle when the mechanism is in the lowered position.
WARNING
When operating the wall bed 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. Do not try to vary the tension of the spring mechanism as it
is NOT adjustable.
DIAGRAM 4
Refer to Diagram 4
* If not using pillow catch, bolt on mattress guard(s) to the top of the bed frame through the predrilled holes and
using nuts and bolts provided.
