Setup and Assembly Instructions

Partial assembly is required. It is recommended that two people assemble this bed. Estimated assembly time: 0.5 Hour. All necessary tools are included.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface (e.g., a carpet or blanket) to prevent scratches.
2. Identify Parts: Match each part to the corresponding diagram in the included instructions.
3. Assemble Lower Bed Frame: Begin by connecting the side rails to the headboard and footboard of the lower bed using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are finger-tight only at this stage.
4. Install Lower Bed Slats: Place the metal slats onto the lower bed frame. Secure them according to the instructions, ensuring even spacing and firm attachment.
5. Assemble Upper Bed Frame: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the upper bed frame.
6. Attach Ladder: Securely attach the ladder to the designated side of the upper bunk, ensuring it is stable and firmly connected.
7. Connect Upper and Lower Bunks: Carefully lift the assembled upper bunk and align it with the lower bunk's support posts. Securely fasten the upper bunk to the lower bunk using the provided connectors and hardware.
8. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, systematically tighten all bolts and screws using the included tools. Do not overtighten.
9. Safety Check: Before use, ensure all connections are secure, the bed is stable, and the guardrails are properly installed on the upper bunk.

Operating Instructions

• Mattress Placement: Place a standard twin-size mattress on both the upper and lower bunks. Ensure the mattress on the upper bunk does not exceed the height of the guardrails.
• Ladder Use: Always use the integrated 3-step ladder for safe access to and from the upper bunk. Do not jump on or off the bunk bed.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across the bed frames. Avoid concentrating heavy loads in one area.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth for general cleaning. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
• Rust Prevention: The bed frame is coated with a rust-proof finish. To maintain this, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Solution: Verify that you are using the correct parts for each step as indicated in the assembly instructions. Ensure parts are oriented correctly. Do not force parts together.
