1. Assembling the Oasis 1240
metal bed frame.
Open the box and lay the contents out
near the area you will be assembling
your wicking bed. Remove any protective
lm from the pieces as you lay them out.
Place the screws in a small container or
bowl so as not to loose them.
Join 2 end rails with corner brackets
using the long side rails and insert
screws to form the base of the bed
frame.
Now locate the end section with the hole
for the overow pipe and insert it into the
rail, with the hole for the overow pipe
positioned closest to the rail. Align the
screw hole in the end section and the
matching hole in the rail and insert screw
to secure.
Repeat for the other end section.
Add 1 short and 1 long wall panel to
each side of the bed.
Attach the remaining 2 x long side rails
to the remaining end rail and insert
screws.
Carefully push the end rail into position
on the end section and start to push the
long side rails onto the wall panels.
Note: this should be a reasonably tight
t. Be careful with any sharp edges.
Once in position screw the top rails to
the end panel as you did with the bottom
rail.
Now add the remaining end rail and
screw into position.
3.
Adding the WaterUps®Cells plus
the inlet and overow pipes.
Place a WaterUps®cell in the base of
the liner near the overow hole to work
out the correct position to attach the
overow pipe to the cell.
After attaching the overow pipe and
clicking it into position, add the rubber
washer to the overow pipe and push in
until it abuts the liner.
Now carefully place the cell with the
overow pipe in the base of the liner
positioning it so that the thread of the
overow pipe protrudes from the
external wall of the bed frame. Slide
on the white spacer pipe and push it
through the hole in the steel frame until it
abuts the wall of the reservoir liner. Now
screw on the nut and secure tightly in
position.
2.
Fitting the WaterUps®Reservoir
Liner Insert into the bed.
Refer to the WaterUps®1240 Reservoir
Liner Insert assembly guide for how to
install the reservoir liner. You can access
it by using the link or QR code on page 1.
Before placing the reservoir liner in the
base of the bed ensure that the base is
level and compacted and free from any
sharp objects such as stones.
Place the reservoir liner in the base
so that it sits inside the bottom railing,
making sure that the hole in the liner
for the overow pipe lines up with the
hole in the bed wall.
To t the WaterUps®Inlet Pipe you must
rst cut a hole in the top of one of the
WaterUps®Cells.
Using a sharp knife cut along the circular
groove around the type on the top of the
WaterUps®Cell as shown in the image at
the top of page 4.
The three tabs on the bottom of the
water inlet pipe must lock into the three
holes in the top of the WaterUps®Cell.
Apply some pressure to the inlet pipe as
you insert it, until it clicks into place in
the WaterUps®Cell.
