Instructions for Safe and Effective Bed System Use


The intent of this instruction is to provide insight into the safe and flexible
use of our E-Z Connect Bed System.

* * * IMPORTANT NOTE * * *

Some institutions that have purchased our bed systems prefer to have their own maintenance personnel make the bed modifications.

It is important that you are adhering to the policies of your institution before proceeding.

Welcome to our instructional page that provides you with information to ensure the safe and effective use of your
bed system. This will also enhance your creativity in flexible arrangements available with the system.

In the following sequences, note that the steel spring can be inserted into the posts at residential height or at a higher height. The higher height will allow your chest or other items to be placed under the bed for space saving. Note that the spring has two hooks on each end that insert over the steel rods embedded in the wood end.

When changing your bed height or configuration, it is important to disengage both hooks on each end of the spring. If both ends are not disengaged, damage to your bed may occur. Note in this sequence that lifting up on the spring while one foot is on the lower cross rail disengages the spring. Sometimes it requires an upward tapping under the corner connection to dislodge the spring hooks from the steel rods.

If you desire bunk beds or stack beds, note the next sequences. Locate the bottom bed spring at the desired height per the earlier instruction. Then locate the spring height for the top bunk. Insert the steel bunk pins into the post of the bottom bed. Note that the wood ends are only drilled for bunking pins on one end. The bunking holes must be facing upward for the bottom bed and downward for the top bed. When the beds are stacked, it is important to
locate all four bunking pins in the connecting holes as shown in the sequence.

If you desire a tall loft unit, it is important to locate the steel stabilizer bar about 12" from the floor connecting the
back posts of each wood end. Then insert the pins as shown. Next, lift the bed on top of the lower ends and stabilizer. Once again, be sure to insert the wood posts over the steel pins.

For safety, it is critical that you insert the loft clips in one front post and an alternate rear post. This joins the stacked wood ends avoiding accidental disengagement.

Guard rails are highly recommended for use whenever the loft or bunking configurations are used. Ladders that mount to the springs or end supports are also available.

This tall loft arrangement allows the desk and chest to be positioned under the bed.

Remember, always have four steel pins inserted for all bunking or lofting positions. Use the loft clips for safety. All the beds can be adjusted to a variety of heights. When disconnecting the wood ends from the posts to change bed
height or configuration, it is critical that the two hooks on each side of the bed are disengaged before pulling away
the wood ends. This is also true for the rear stabilizer used in lofting.
