5. Operating Hydraulic Storage

The Aruba bed features an easy-to-use hydraulic lift mechanism for accessing under-bed storage.

1. Clear the bed: Remove any heavy items or bedding from the mattress surface before lifting.
2. Locate pull handle: Find the fabric pull handle typically located at the foot end of the mattress support frame.
3. Lift the mattress: Firmly grasp the handle and lift the mattress support frame upwards. The hydraulic mechanism will assist in lifting and holding the frame in the open position.
4. Access storage: Place or retrieve items from the spacious under-bed storage compartment.
5. Lower the mattress: To close, firmly pull the mattress support frame downwards. The hydraulic mechanism will smoothly guide it back into the closed position. Ensure it latches securely.

• Squeaking noises:
