• Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if any looseness is detected.
• Noise Reduction: The frame is designed to be noise-free. If any squeaking occurs, check all connections and ensure the rubber foot cushions are intact.

7. Troubleshooting

• Issue: Mattress is sliding.
  Solution: Ensure the plastic anti-slip baffles are correctly installed and facing outwards. Verify that the mattress is properly centered on the frame.
• Issue: Frame is making noise (squeaking/rattling).
  Solution: Check all assembly bolts and tighten them securely. Ensure the rubber tips on the cross-rails are properly seated and the rubber foot cushions are in place.
• Issue: Difficulty during assembly.
  Solution: Refer to the assembly instructions (Section 4). Do not fully tighten bolts until all parts are loosely assembled and aligned. If a part seems difficult to fit, double-check the orientation and part number against the manual.
