This upholstered platform bed features a hydraulic lift system for convenient under-bed storage, designed to enhance your bedroom's functionality and aesthetic. This manual provides essential information for safe assembly, operation, and maintenance of your new bed.

2. Safety Information
- Weight Limit: Do not load more than 330 lbs (150 kg) on the bed frame. Exceeding this limit may cause damage or injury.
- Sharp Edges: Exercise caution around sharp edges during assembly and use to prevent injury.
- Assembly: Assembly should be performed by at least two adults. Ensure all parts are correctly installed and tightened before use.
- Hydraulic System: The hydraulic lift system requires the weight of a mattress to function correctly. Do not attempt to force the mechanism down without a mattress in place, as this may cause damage.
- Children: Keep children away from the bed during assembly. Do not allow children to play with the hydraulic lift mechanism.
- Mattress Compatibility: This bed is designed for a Twin size mattress. No box spring is required.

4. Setup and Assembly
Assembly of this bed frame requires careful attention to the provided instructions. It is recommended to have two adults for assembly.
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface (e.g., a rug or blanket) to prevent scratches. Compare all parts with the parts list in your separate assembly guide to ensure everything is present.
- Assemble Headboard and Footboard: Attach the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten until the frame is complete.
- Install Hydraulic Mechanism: Follow the specific instructions in your assembly guide for installing the hydraulic lift system. This step can be challenging; ensure the mechanism is oriented correctly. Important: Some users have reported difficulty with this step, particularly regarding the initial compression of the hydraulic pistons. The pistons are stiff and require the weight of the mattress to function properly. You may need assistance to push the mechanism down initially after installation. Each person should push down firmly on the bar the lift is attached to.
- Attach Slats: Secure the wooden slats to the bed frame using the plastic slat holders. Ensure even spacing for optimal mattress support.
- Final Tightening: Once the entire frame is assembled, go back and fully tighten all screws and bolts.
- Place Mattress: Carefully place your Twin size mattress onto the assembled slat system. The weight of the mattress is essential for the hydraulic lift system to operate smoothly.

5. Operating Instructions
The Bellemave Lift Up Storage Bed is designed for easy access to under-bed storage.
- Lifting the Mattress Platform:
- Ensure there are no obstructions around the bed.
- Grasp the mattress platform firmly, typically from the foot end or side.
- Gently lift the platform upwards. The hydraulic mechanism will assist in raising the mattress with minimal effort.
- The platform will stay in the raised position, providing full access to the storage compartment.
- Lowering the Mattress Platform:
- Ensure all items are safely within the storage compartment and no hands or objects are in the path of the lowering platform.
- Grasp the mattress platform firmly and gently pull it downwards. The hydraulic system will control the descent, preventing it from dropping too quickly.
- Continue to guide the platform until it rests securely on the bed frame.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: For the upholstered fabric, gently vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove dust. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
- Hydraulic System: The hydraulic pistons are sealed units and generally require no maintenance. Do not attempt to lubricate or disassemble them. If the lift mechanism becomes stiff or difficult to operate, ensure the mattress is properly seated and its weight is sufficient.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the stated weight capacity of 330 lbs for the bed.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic lift mechanism is stiff or difficult to push down. | Lack of sufficient mattress weight. Hydraulic pistons are designed to work with the weight of a mattress. | Ensure a mattress is placed on the bed. If newly assembled, the pistons may require initial force to compress. Have two people push down firmly on the bars where the lifts attach. |
| Bed frame feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose hardware. | Check and re-tighten all bolts and screws. |
| Missing parts or damaged components upon arrival. | Shipping error or manufacturing defect. | Do not proceed with assembly. Contact Bellemave customer support immediately with your purchase details. |
| Difficulty aligning parts during assembly (e.g., pre-drilled holes). | Minor manufacturing variance or assembly error. | Double-check the assembly instructions. If parts genuinely do not align, contact customer support. Do not force components, as this may cause damage. |
