3. The bed frame will begin to lower smoothly due to the dual piston metal folding mechanism.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces of the bed and cabinet with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Mechanism Inspection: Inspect the folding mechanism for any signs of wear or damage. Do not lubricate the piston mechanism unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Folding/Unfolding: Ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism or the bed's path. Check that all hardware is securely fastened.
• Bed Feels Unstable: Verify that the bed is properly anchored to the wall and that all support legs are fully extended and resting on the floor when the bed is open. Check all assembly bolts for tightness.
• Squeaking Noises: Inspect all joints and hardware. Tighten any loose connections.
