Introduction
This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient setup, operation, and maintenance of your Leggett & Platt Falcon Adjustable Bed Base. Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and use to ensure proper function and to prevent injury.
Important Safety Information
- Weight Capacity: The bed base is designed to support a maximum weight of 800 pounds, including the mattress and occupants. Do not exceed this weight limit.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the adjustable bed base, especially during operation. Moving parts can cause injury.
- Power Cord: Ensure the power cord is not pinched or damaged. Do not operate the bed base if the cord is compromised.
- Clearance: Ensure there is adequate clearance around the bed base when adjusting positions to prevent obstruction or damage.
- Medical Devices: Consult your physician before using this product if you have a pacemaker or similar medical device, as the magnetic fields from the motors may interfere.
Package Contents
Before beginning assembly, verify that all components are present:
- Adjustable Bed Base Frame (Split King includes two twin-sized bases)
- Wireless Remote Control
- Legs (quantity as specified for your model)
- Power Cord and Adapter
- Foot Retainer Bar (optional use)
- Headboard Bracket Accessory Kit (if purchased separately)
Setup Instructions

- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging. Place the bed base frame upside down on a clean, flat surface to access the leg attachment points.
- Attach Legs: Screw the legs securely into the designated threaded receivers on the underside of the bed base. Ensure all legs are tightened firmly.
- Position Bed Base: With assistance, carefully flip the bed base right-side up and position it in your desired location. For Split King models, place the two twin bases side-by-side.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into the bed base and then into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the cord is routed safely to avoid tripping hazards or damage.
- Install Mattress: Place your mattress directly onto the bed base. The integrated micro hook retention system is designed to keep the mattress in place without a foot retainer bar.
- Optional Foot Retainer Bar: If you prefer to use the foot retainer bar, insert it into the designated slots at the foot of the bed base.

Operating Instructions
Your Leggett & Platt Falcon Adjustable Bed Base is operated using the wireless remote control.

- Remote Control Pairing: The remote control should be pre-paired with your bed base. If it does not respond, refer to the troubleshooting section for re-pairing instructions.
- Adjusting Head Position: Use the "Head Up" (up arrow with bed icon) and "Head Down" (down arrow with bed icon) buttons to raise or lower the head section of the bed.
- Adjusting Foot Position: Use the "Foot Up" (up arrow with foot icon) and "Foot Down" (down arrow with foot icon) buttons to raise or lower the foot section of the bed.
- Simultaneous Adjustment: For Split King models, a single remote can control both bases. Pressing the head or foot adjustment buttons will move both sides simultaneously. Note that slight variations in movement timing between the two bases may occur.
- Flat Position: Some remotes may have a dedicated "Flat" button to return the bed to a completely flat position.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the bed base frame with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Motor Care: The motors are designed to be maintenance-free. Do not attempt to open or lubricate them.
- Cord Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord for any signs of damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed base does not operate. | No power, remote battery low/dead, remote not paired. |
|
| Remote control is slow or unresponsive. | Low remote battery. | Replace the remote control batteries (CR2032 coin battery). Refer to the customer review for detailed instructions on opening the remote. |
| Split King bases move unevenly. | Normal operation for independent motors. | This is expected behavior as the two independent motors respond to the same signal. Slight variations in timing are normal and do not indicate a malfunction. |
| Mattress slides on the base. | Mattress not compatible with micro hook system, or foot retainer bar not installed. | Ensure the mattress is properly seated. If sliding persists, install the optional foot retainer bar. |
