Step 4 Frame |
Fit the Frame
Lower the frame onto the deck. Make sure the grooves overlap the deck
boards. Recheck that the frame is centered on the decking.
Check to be sure the decking is still centered on the pedestal. |
Overhang
The grooves at the bottom of the headboard frame overhang the decking.
The frame sides are outside the decking. |
Brackets
Attach the "L" brackets to the frame and decking. This secures the frame
to the decking.
Spread these out appropriately. If there are three brackets, put one in
the center and the others between the center and the frame boards at the
head and foot. If two brackets per side, put each about 1/3 down or up
from the head and foot.
Warning: File down rough burrs and tape over with duct tape to
protect liner and mattress from sharp areas of hardware. |
Attach Headboard
If you have a bookcase headboard, attach the bookcase with the brackets
and screws supplied. The flat brackets are screwed in from underneath
the headboard and behind the frame.
You may have to slide the frame assembly out from the wall while this is
being done. Be sure to put the frame back so that the decking is once
again centered over the pedestal. |
Check Rail Cap Fit
If you purchased rail caps, this is a good time to put these on.
If you find they are a little too loose later on, they may be secured by
glueing hook & pile tape to the rails and the top of the frame.
This is a good time to check everything over for loose tools and other
sharp items that might ruin your new waterbed. Check that the
frame/decking assembly is centrally located on all four sides. |
