Operating Instructions
Using the Hydraulic Lift Storage
The Zinus Maddon bed frame features an ingenious hydraulic lift mechanism that assists in raising the mattress support, providing easy access to the under-bed storage compartment without needing to move the mattress.
- Clear the Bed: Ensure there are no items on the bed that could fall off when the mattress is lifted.
- Lift the Mattress Support: Grasp the frame at the foot end or side (depending on design) and gently lift upwards. The hydraulic pistons will engage and assist in raising the mattress support. Continue lifting until the mechanism locks into its fully open position.
- Access Storage: Once the mattress support is fully open, you can access the spacious storage area beneath.
- Close the Mattress Support: To close, gently push down on the mattress support frame. The hydraulic pistons will compress, allowing the frame to lower smoothly. Ensure hands and fingers are clear of the closing mechanism.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and functionality of your Zinus Maddon Ottoman Storage Bed Frame.
- Check Connections: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts and screws. Tighten any that have become loose to maintain the bed's stability and prevent creaking.
- Upholstery Care: For upholstered parts, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the fabric. Vacuum regularly to remove dust.
- Hydraulic Mechanism: The hydraulic pistons are generally maintenance-free. If you notice any stiffness or difficulty in operation, ensure the mechanism is clean and free of obstructions. Do not attempt to lubricate or disassemble the pistons.
- Slats: Inspect wooden slats for any signs of damage or wear. Replace any broken slats to ensure proper mattress support.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed frame feels unstable or creaks. | Loose bolts or incorrect assembly. | Check all assembly bolts and tighten them securely. Refer to the assembly instructions to ensure all parts are correctly installed. |
| Hydraulic lift is difficult to close. | New hydraulic pistons may be stiff; insufficient weight on the bed. | For new beds, the pistons may require several cycles of opening and closing to loosen. Ensure a mattress is placed on the bed, as the pistons are designed to work with the mattress weight. If still difficult, try pushing down firmly several times to "empty" the gas slightly, as suggested by some users. |
| Hydraulic lift does not stay open. | Mechanism not fully engaged; faulty piston. | Ensure you lift the mattress support until it clicks or locks into the fully open position. If the issue persists, contact Zinus customer support for assistance. |
| Slats are breaking or sagging. | Excessive weight; damaged slats. | Ensure the bed's weight capacity is not exceeded. Inspect individual slats for damage and replace as needed. |
