PREPARATION

Carefully remove and lay out all hardware and parts. Remove wires securing the (2) Stabilizer Bars J and the (4) Crib Rods K to Crib Spring R. Check quantities and match to the three Parts Lists above. If any part is missing or broken contact your dealer or Child Craft (P.O. Box 444, Salem, IN 471670444 USA (ph# 812/883-3111), [e-mail] for a replacement part or instructional literature. Before making this contact, identify your crib.

A model identification number is stamped on the underneath side of the bottom rail of either a crib end N/O or a crib side P/Q. Record the model Identification Number now: # ______________________. Include this number with a request for a part or instructional literature. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE

STEP 1 - DIAGRAM 1: ATTACH OF 4-POSITION SPRING HANGER BRACKETS AND ANGLE BRACKETS.

Note the two piece assembly of 4-Position Spring Hanger Brackets D. Before attachment to crib (ends) N &O, check to be sure the moulded plastic backer aligns with the 4-Position Spring Hanger Bracket D as shown. These items are shipped assembled, in the unlikely event they should become detached during shipment, simply take the plastic backer, align with the holes in the metal bracket and snap together to create an assembly as shown in the Hardware Parts Diagram. IMPORTANT! All four plastic tabs on each moulded plastic backer should project toward the metal hooks on 4-Position Spring Hanger Brackets D. If you should find a tab on an uninstalled 4-Position Spring Hanger Bracket not so projected, simply use a screwdriver to push tab forward until it contacts the metal hook. If a plastic tab is not projected on a factory installed 4-Position Spring Hanger Bracket simply place a small slotted screwdriver underneath the plastic tab and pull forward until it contacts the metal hook. Attach a 4-Position Spring Hanger Bracket

D, (2 piece assembly), to both Headboard N & Footboard O with Slotted/Phillips Wood Screws E, to be positioned exactly as the ones already factory installed. Attach Angle Brackets I with Slotted/Phillips Wood Screws E to Headboard N and Footboard O, to be positioned exactly as the ones already factory installed.DO

NOT REMOVE 4-POSITION SPRING HANGER BRACKETS OR ANY OTHER HARDWARE ITEM ATTACHED WITH SLOTTED/PHILLIPS WOOD SCREWS E.

STEP 4 - DIAGRAM 4: INSTALL SPRING HANGERS & CRIB SPRING

Locate Crib Spring R, (with plastic pouch factory attached), and the four

Spring Hangers B, refer to Main Diagram 6, and 4. Note: Be sure smooth side of Crib Spring R wire is placed upward as illustrated in Main Diagram 6. Also the printing on the plastic pouch (attached to crib spring) will be placed upward. Insert Spring Hangers B into each bracket attached to frame of Crib Spring R as shown, (a light blow with a hammer may be required to fully engage Spring Hangers B). Carefully install Crib Spring R by placing each of the 4 Spring Hanger B into a selected position in each of the four 4-Position Spring Hanger Brackets D, (with moulded plastic backers), mounted on ends O and N. See Main Diagram 6, and 4. Note: The lip of the moulded plastic backer will allow the Spring Hanger to be placed with no difficulty. However, when you decide on another placement of Crib Spring R you will need to place your thumbnail, or a small screwdriver, on the lip of the moulded plastic backer and hold down in order to raise Spring Hanger B from its present position. Follow this same procedure whenever you opt to change Crib Spring R to another of the four positions.

STEP 5: INSTALL CRIB DROPSIDES

Locate Crib Rods K, Crib Sides P/Q, Compression Springs F, Bumper

Springs G and the four remaining Slotted/Phillips Machine Screws A. Insert a Crib Rod K downward through the holes in the following sequence: (Refer to Main Diagram 6 for proper placement.)

1.The top rail of Crib Side P or Q, (with plastic teething rail), (Note: gate shoes will be placed to inside),

2.The L- bracket on 4-Position Spring Hanger Bracket D,

3.Compression Spring F,

4.Bottom Rail of Crib Side P or Q,

5.A Bumper Spring G,

6.Hole in Angle Bracket I.

Place a Slotted/Phillips Machine Screw A into hole in top of Crib Rod K and into receiving bushing located in top corner post of Footboard O/

Headboard N. Refer to Main Diagram 6 for proper placement. DO NOT

USE A POWER SCREWDRIVER OF ANY TYPE TO TIGHTEN SCREW A.

Start Screw A (two or three turns) with your fingers into its threaded bushing to insure Screw A has a square fit. Once you are sure Screw A fits squarely into its threaded bushing, tighten securely with a hand held screwdriver. Attach the other Crib Rod K to the other end of Crib

Side P or Q,, using the same procedure. Be sure Slotted/Phillips Machine Screws A are tightened securely, check periodically and tighten if needed. Tip: To help Crib Rods K function more quietly we suggest you rub the crib rod with waxed paper or paraffin. You may want to repeat this procedure periodically. Attach the remaining Crib Side P or Q, by repeating Step 5.
