To Close the Bed:
- Remove any bedding or items that might obstruct the closing mechanism. Ensure the mattress is secured by the fixing straps.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your VEVOR Murphy Bed Kit.
- Check Connections: Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Lubrication: The pneumatic rods are generally maintenance-free, but if you notice any stiffness, consult VEVOR support for recommended lubrication procedures. Do not use unauthorized lubricants.
- Cleaning: Wipe down metal components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Mattress Straps: Ensure mattress fixing straps are in good condition and securely hold the mattress. Replace if worn or damaged.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your VEVOR Murphy Bed Kit, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Bed is difficult to open or close:
- Ensure the mattress weight is within the recommended range (68 lbs / 31 kg).
- Check that the pneumatic rods are correctly installed and not obstructed.
- Verify all pivot points are free from debris and moving smoothly.
- Bed does not stay in the upright position:
- Confirm the mattress weight is appropriate. An excessively light mattress may not allow the bed to stay closed.
- Inspect the pneumatic rods for damage or malfunction.
- Unusual noises during operation:
- Check all bolted connections for tightness.
- Ensure no parts are rubbing against each other due to misalignment.
