Setup and Assembly

The Nirvana FUTONS Queen Size Tri-Fold Wood Futon Frame requires assembly. All necessary hardware is included. A Phillips head screwdriver is required, and a rubber mallet or power drill with a Phillips head bit may be helpful for faster assembly.

Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out. Refer to the included parts list to ensure all pieces are present.
2. Attach Wheels to Seat Rails: Secure the wheels to each of the B-37-S Seat Rails using the H-34 3/4" wood screws.
3. Insert Dowels: Push the wood dowels (H-11) all the way into the designated holes on the K-9-LL Lounger, K-15 Prop, K-24-L Lounger Rail, K-31-B Back Rail, and K-37-S Seat Rail.
4. Assemble Prop Connector: Press the Prop Connector (K-29-P) onto the wood dowels of the K-15 Props and attach with (2) H-19 1-3/4" wood screws.
5. Attach Back Rails to Prop Assembly: Attach the (2) K-31-B Back Rails to the outside of the Prop Assembly using (2) 2-1/4" Clevis Pins (H-8). Ensure the Prop Connector swings down so it goes below the Back Rails. Secure Clevis Pins with Hair Pins (H-5). Important: Make sure props are on the INSIDES of the bed rails.
6. Attach Back Legs to Rails: Attach the Left Back Leg (K-10-BL) and Right Back Leg (K-10-BR) to the outside of the Back Rails using (2) 3-1/4" Clevis Pins (H-12). Do not use Hair Pins at this time. Ensure the cut-away part of the Back Legs faces in to support the Back Rails.
7. Slide Seat Rails: Slide the K-37-S Seat Rails onto the 3-1/4" Clevis Pins and secure with Hair Pins (H-5). Then secure the Back Legs with Wood Screws (H-19). These screws are self-tapping and do not need pilot holes.

10. Assemble Back Deck: Using (3) Middle Slats (K-33-M), push the wood dowels into the edge holes on (2) Back Slat Caps (K-22-B). Find the (2) Back Slats (K-37-B) and push them onto the wood dowels on the Back Slat Caps. The side labeled "BACK" faces up.

Operating the Futon Frame

The Tri-Fold Futon Frame is designed for easy conversion between multiple positions: bed, various lounging angles, and sofa. It features 13 adjustable positions to suit your comfort needs.

Converting Positions:

1. Bed Position: To lay the futon flat into a bed, ensure all sections are fully extended and flat. The frame is designed to support a futon mattress for sleeping.
2. Lounger Positions: The backrest can be tilted to various angles for lounging. Lift the back section and adjust the support pegs into the desired notches on the seat rail. There are multiple notches for different recline levels.
3. Sofa Position: To convert to a sofa, lift the back section to its most upright position. The front section (footrest) can be swung underneath the seat to create a compact sofa.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your futon frame, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the wood frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the natural finish.
• Wood Care: The frame is expertly finished with a natural clear coat. To maintain its beauty, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme humidity.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and pins to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain stability.
• Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight recommendation of 550 pounds.
• Mattress Care: Use with a flexible futon mattress designed for tri-fold frames. Consider a non-slip pad to prevent the mattress from sliding when adjusting positions.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or operation, consider the following:

• Difficulty with Assembly: Ensure all parts are correctly oriented as per the diagrams. Some users have noted that a power drill can assist with sinking screws into the hardwood. Double-check that dowels and pins are fully inserted.
• Frame Instability: Verify that all screws and pins are securely fastened. Ensure the frame is on a level surface.
• Mattress Sliding: If your futon mattress slides when the frame is in an angled position, consider placing a non-slip grip pad between the mattress and the frame.
• Difficulty Changing Positions: Ensure the mechanism is clear of obstructions. The frame should move smoothly between positions. If resistance is met, re-check the alignment of the moving parts.
