height, bed in lowest position

fig 3: casters mounted at low height, bed in elevated position

Standard (conventional) bed height

To achieve standard bed height, insert casters into outside legs, as shown in fig. 1 above.

Low bed height

To achieve low bed height, insert casters into inner short legs, as shown in figs. 2 and 3 above. When in the lowest position, the casters are engaged for bed movement, as shown in fig. 2 above. When elevated, the bed is off the casters and cannot be moved, as shown in fig. 3 above.

Due to the clearances involved, only minor travel and movement are recommended in the low po- sition. The casters can be moved to the outer legs to provide clearance if the bed must be moved or rolled.
