5. Assembly Instructions

Assembly of the Giantex Bunk Bed is designed to be straightforward. An illustrated manual and all necessary hardware are included in the package. An electronic user manual is also available for detailed viewing and zooming.

Before You Begin:

• Read all instructions carefully before starting.
• Identify all parts and hardware. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
• Ensure you have the necessary tools (usually an Allen wrench, often included).
• It is recommended to assemble with two people for ease and safety.

General Assembly Steps:

1. Assemble the headboards and footboards for both the upper (twin) and lower (full) beds.
2. Attach the side rails to the headboards and footboards for both bed frames.
3. Install the support slats for both the upper and lower beds. Ensure noise-reducing strips are correctly positioned if provided.
4. Connect the upper and lower bed frames using the vertical support posts.
5. Securely attach the integrated ladder to the bunk bed frame.
6. Tighten all bolts and connections firmly, but do not overtighten.
7. Place the appropriate size and thickness mattresses on each bunk.

6. Usage Guidelines

• Only one person should occupy the upper bunk at a time.
• Do not allow jumping or rough play on the bunk bed.
• Always use the ladder for climbing to and from the upper bunk. Do not use other parts of the bed as a climbing aid.
• Ensure that children understand and follow all safety rules.
• Keep the area around the bed clear to prevent falls or injuries.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
• Mattress Care: Follow the mattress manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning and maintenance.
• Damage: If any part of the bed becomes damaged or broken, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support for replacement parts or advice.

8. Troubleshooting

• Bed is Wobbly: Ensure all bolts and screws are securely tightened. Check that the bed is on a level surface.
• Squeaking Noises: Retighten all hardware. The integrated noise-reducing strips should minimize slat noise; ensure they are properly installed. If squeaking persists, check for any metal-on-metal contact points and consider applying a small amount of lubricant or felt pads.
