Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the LostCat Twin Size Loft Bed is required. Please follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate assembly manual included with your purchase. It is highly recommended to have at least two adults for assembly due to the size and weight of the components.

Assembly Tips:

• Unpack all components and verify against the parts list in your assembly manual before beginning.
• Lay out all hardware and tools. Note that some tools may not be included and might need to be supplied by the user.
• The shipping box can be heavy. Exercise caution when lifting and moving components.
• When tightening screws, do so firmly but avoid over-tightening, which can strip the wood or fasteners.

Operating Instructions

This loft bed is designed for sleeping and recreational use of the slide and ladder.

• Using the Ladder: Always use the provided 2-step ladder to access the upper bunk. Ensure a firm grip on the side rails and step carefully.
• Using the Slide: The slide is intended for single-person use at a time. Ensure the area at the bottom of the slide is clear before use. Supervise children during slide use.
• Under-Bed Space: The open space beneath the bed can be used for storage, a play area, or a desk. Ensure any items placed here do not obstruct the ladder or slide.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and safety of your loft bed.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Structural Integrity: Check for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose parts. Discontinue use if significant damage is found and contact customer support.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your loft bed, consider the following:

• Bed feels wobbly or unstable: This is often due to loose connections. Re-check all bolts and screws, ensuring they are securely tightened. Refer back to the assembly manual to confirm all parts are correctly installed.
• Screws stripping during assembly: This can occur from over-tightening. Always tighten screws firmly but stop once resistance is met to avoid damaging the wood or fastener threads. If a screw is stripped, it may need to be replaced or a wood filler used.
• Missing parts: If you find any parts missing during assembly, do not attempt to proceed. Contact LostCat customer support immediately for assistance.
