The frame and platform are shipped in 4 pieces in the same box:
• Head support
• Foot support
• Head frame with motors and electrical systems attached
• Foot frame with motors and electrical systems attached
The head support and frame are longer than the foot support and frame, so you can easily tell
them apart. All pieces are secured to a bracket on the packing skid.
STEPS
1 - Identify the box that contains the bed.
2 - Remove the outer box by slowly lifting it up. A wooden protective insert could fall out if
the cardboard box is not removed carefully.
Note that the bed is attached to a bracket on the packing skid.
