2. Safety Information

Please read and adhere to the following safety guidelines to ensure safe use and prevent injury or damage to the product.

• Weight Limit: Do not load the bed frame with more than 1000 pounds.
• Proper Assembly: Ensure all components are correctly assembled and tightened according to the instructions to avoid instability.

• Mattress Placement: The hydraulic system is designed to work with the weight of a mattress. Always place the mattress on the frame before attempting to lower the bed platform.

3. Setup and Assembly

The AMERLIFE Queen Lift Up Storage Bed Frame is designed for quick and stable assembly. Follow these steps carefully.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully unbox all parts and lay them out. Verify that all components listed in the included parts list are present.
2. Assemble Frame: Connect the main frame components using the provided hardware. The snap-in design facilitates this process. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Install Slats: Place the wooden slats onto the designated supports on the bed frame. The slats are designed for easy installation.
4. Attach Lifting Mechanism: Secure the hydraulic lifting mechanism to the frame as instructed. Pay close attention to the orientation of the hydraulic arms.
5. Place Mattress: Once the frame and lifting mechanism are fully assembled, place your Queen size mattress (recommended thickness 8-14 inches) onto the slat base. The weight of the mattress is necessary for the hydraulic system to function correctly.

Note: While basic tools are included, using a power screwdriver and socket wrench can significantly reduce assembly time.

4. Operating the Lift-Up Storage

The bed frame features a hydraulic lifting mechanism for convenient access to under-bed storage.

1. To Lift: Grasp the handheld lifting strap or the edge of the bed platform firmly. Apply upward force to initiate the hydraulic lift. The mechanism will assist in raising the mattress and platform smoothly.
2. To Lower: With the mattress in place, gently push the bed platform downwards. The hydraulic system will compress, allowing the bed to return to its closed position. Ensure no objects or body parts are in the path of the descending platform.

The non-slip mattress retainer bar at the foot of the bed prevents the mattress from sliding off when the platform is lifted.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and functionality of your bed frame.

• Cleaning: Wipe the frame surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
• Hydraulic System: Do not apply oil or lubricants to the hydraulic arms unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer. Keep the mechanism free of dust and debris.

6. Troubleshooting

Refer to these common issues and solutions if you encounter problems with your bed frame.

• Issue: The lifting mechanism does not go down or is difficult to lower.
  Solution: Ensure a mattress is placed on the bed frame. The hydraulic system requires the weight of the mattress to compress properly and allow the platform to lower.
• Issue: Missing parts during assembly.
  Solution: If any parts are missing, contact AMERLIFE customer service immediately. Provide your model number (BMB017) and a description of the missing component.
• Issue: The frame sways or twists when opening/closing the storage.
  Solution: Double-check that all assembly screws and bolts are securely tightened. Ensure the frame is on a level surface.
• Issue: Difficulty lifting a heavy mattress.
  Solution: The bed frame is equipped with 700N struts. For mattresses significantly heavier than 100 lbs, you may consider upgrading to 1000N hydraulic struts. This is a user modification and requires sourcing compatible parts with the correct length and connections. Contact customer service for guidance if needed.
