7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mattress platform is difficult to close/lower. | New gas springs can be stiff. Insufficient weight on the mattress. | Apply firm, consistent downward pressure. If the mattress is very light, you may need to add some weight or press down with more force initially. Repeated opening and closing can help break in the pistons. |
| Mattress platform does not stay open. | Gas springs are worn or damaged. Too much weight on the mattress. | Ensure the mattress weight is within the recommended range. If gas springs are faulty, contact customer support for replacement. |
| Bed frame is wobbly or squeaks. | Loose bolts or fasteners. Uneven floor. | Check and tighten all assembly bolts. Ensure the bed is on a level surface; use furniture pads if necessary. |
| Parts missing or damaged upon arrival. | Shipping damage or packing error. | Do not proceed with assembly. Contact ZINUS customer support immediately for assistance and replacement parts. |
