Installing the Bedrail |
| ||
As shown in Fig 5, unlock the Locking Buckle that |
| ||
holds the Safety Straps in place. Repeat on the other |
| ||
side. The Locking Buckles should remain unlocked as |
| ||
you install the Bedrail onto the mattress. Unbind the |
| ||
Safety Straps. It may seem that you have an excessive |
| ||
amount of strap for the size of the mattress but this |
| ||
will be taken care of in the final adjustment step. Lift |
| ||
the mattress slightly and slide both legs of the Bedrail |
| ||
between the mattress and the box spring. The Bedrail | Fig. 5 | ||
must be oriented 9 inches from the head of the bed, | |||
| |||
as shown in Fig. 6. Please refer to the ruler printed |
| ||
along the side of the instruction page for accurate |
| ||
measurement. With the help of a second person, lift |
| ||
the mattress sufficiently to extend the Safety Straps to |
| ||
the opposite side of the bed. Make sure that the Safety |
| ||
Straps are not twisted or tangled and make sure that |
| ||
the Anchors are facing up. Bring the mattress back |
| ||
down. Check that the Bedrail is still 9 inches from the |
| ||
head of the bed and make any necessary adjustments. |
| ||
Tightening the Safety Straps |
| ||
To secure the Bedrail against the side of the mattress | Fig. 6 | ||
pull the loose end of the Safety Strap that is protruding |
| ||
from the Bedrail, as shown in Fig. 7. Pull the Safety |
| ||
Strap towards you until the Anchor is flush against the |
| ||
mattress on the opposite side. If the Safety Strap does |
| ||
not pull through smoothly it is most likely twisted under |
| ||
the mattress. Correct this before continuing. |
| ||
Once the Anchor is flush with the mattress insure that |
| ||
the smooth part of the Anchor is directly under the |
| ||
mattress while the ridged part is snug against the side |
| ||
of the mattress, as shown in Fig. 8. It is critical that |
| ||
the Safety Straps with Anchors be pulled very tight |
| ||
against the side of the mattress. To do so, pull on |
| ||
the Safety Strap until the Anchor creates significant | Fig. 7 | ||
indentations in the mattress, as shown in Fig. 8. | |||
| |||
You may need to pull on the Safety Strap several |
| ||
times in order to get the required tightness. Once |
| ||
sufficiently tight, continue to pull the Safety Strap |
| ||
with one hand while locking the Locking Buckle |
| ||
with the other. Ensure that no slack was created in |
| ||
the process of locking the Locking Buckle. Check |
| ||
to make sure that the process of tightening did not |
| ||
cause the mattress to bow and that the mattress |
| ||
still lays flat against the box spring. Once sufficiently |
| ||
tight, repeat the steps to tighten the Safety Strap on |
| ||
the other side. |
| ||
Check for Correct Installation | Fig. 8 | ||
| |||
The mesh panel of the Bedrail and the Anchors should |
| ||
be firmly against the sides of the mattress with no gaps. |
