1With the high-powered drills
available today, the most
signicant assembly issue that
can occur is rounding-out the
hex shape in the head of a hex
screw. If this occurs, it will be
very dicult to remove the screw. To avoid this, please
do the following:
I) Set the clutch on your drill to a LOW SETTING (we
recommend 3).
II) Attempt to install your rst hex screw. The clutch will
most likely start slipping before it screws all the way in.
III) Adjust your clutch up one setting at a time until the
screw goes completely in.
IV) After nding the appropriate setting per your
experience with the rst 3 screws, DO NOT adjust the
clutch setting any more.
V) Later in assembly, if a screw does not screw in all the
way, rst check the screw length to ensure you are using
the correct screw.
VI) If the screw is correct, then use the Hex Wrench to
complete the installation of that screw.
VII) If the screw won’t go in with the Hex Wrench, contact
Customer Support at [phone] Mon-Fri 9-4 MST.

75" L x 38" W. For additional maress information visit sprout-kids.com/maress
Recommended Maress Thickness: 4"- 8"
Never use a maress that exceeds 8" on the top bunk. The top surface of the maress

Only 1 person on the top bunk at a time.
Never allow children under 6 years of age to use the upper bunk.
Always use the ladder for entering and leaving the upper bunk.
Use of a night light is recommended as an added safety precaution for the child using the
upper bunk.
Always use guardrails on both long sides of the upper bunk. If the bunk bed is placed
next to the wall, the guardrail that runs the full length of the bed should be placed
against the wall to prevent entrapment between the bed and the wall.
Never allow horseplay on or under the bed and prohibit jumping on the bed.
STRANGULATION HAZARD–Never aach or hang items to any part of the bunk bed that
are not designed for use with the bed; for example, but not limited to, hooks, belts, and
jump ropes.
Follow the information on the warnings appearing on the upper bunk end structure and
on the package. Do not remove the warning label from bed.
This Bunk Bed was NOT designed to be used as a Loft Bed, and cannot be converted into
a Loft Bed without the proper parts. Do not use this Bunk Bed without having both plat-
forms properly assembled and fully installed.
Periodically check and ensure that the guardrail, ladder, and other components are in
their proper position, free from damage, and that all connectors are tight.
To request replacement parts in cases of damage or defect, contact Sprout.
