Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required for this product. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included manual. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.

3. Assemble Bed Frame: Connect the side rails, footboard, and headboard using the provided hardware. Do not fully tighten screws until all major components are aligned.
4. Install Slatted Base: Secure the elastic wooden slats into the designated slots on the bed frame. Ensure anti-slip strips are correctly positioned.
5. Attach Hydraulic Mechanism: Follow the specific instructions for attaching the hydraulic lift system to the bed frame and slatted base. This step often requires careful alignment.

Operating Instructions

The Merax Upholstered Bed features a hydraulic lift mechanism for easy access to the under-bed storage compartment.

1. Opening the Storage: To access the storage, firmly lift the foot end of the bed frame (with the mattress in place). The hydraulic cylinders will assist in lifting and holding the bed base in an open position.
2. Closing the Storage: To close, gently push down on the bed frame from the foot end. The hydraulic mechanism will slowly lower the bed base back into its closed position. Ensure no objects or body parts are in the way during closing.

Caution:

• Do not attempt to open or close the storage without a mattress on the bed, as the mechanism is calibrated for the mattress weight.
• Keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts when operating the hydraulic lift.

• Hydraulic Mechanism: Periodically check the hydraulic cylinders for smooth operation. Do not apply oil or lubricants unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
• Hardware: Occasionally check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Slats: Inspect the wooden slats for any signs of damage or wear. Replace any broken slats immediately to maintain mattress support.
