WARNING

If you fail to properly secure the recess to the wall or floor, it could be pulled down and serious injury could result.

If your wall construction is such that the system cannot or should not be attached to the wall (see step 1 on page 9), follow the floor mounting instructions on page 9 through 12 instead.

Hardware is included with the EUROBED®for attaching to most wall constructions. Follow the instructions on pages 6 to 8 to assure proper installation. Hardware is not included for floor attachment.

supported by the weight of the cabinet plus the attachment of the cabinets to the wall. It is therefore very important that the recess / cabinets system be anchored securely to the wall, as high off the floor as possible. Use the SICO wall-mounting fixture provided with the bed.

Wall attachment required here.

Custom cabinets must be strong enough to transfer the counterbalancing requirements from the bed support to the rear wall.

The cabinet and recess sides must be at least 3/4” thick, of wood or woodlike material. Drywall is not an acceptable material for securing the mounting plates of the bed mechanism.

SECURE RECESS TO WALL

1. Recheck that the unit is level, plumb, and square. Adjust the leveling feet as necessary.

2. Determine the exact location of all wall studs behind the recess. Use a stud finder (preferably the electronic type).

The counterbalancing of a EUROBED® is supported by the weight of the header and cabinets plus their attachment to the wall. It is therefore very important that the header/cabinet system be anchored securely to the wall, as high off the floor as possible.

If the system cannot or should not be attached to the wall (see step 1 on page 9), follow the floormounting instructions on pages 9 through 11 instead.

WARNING

Failure to securely anchor the system according to instructions can allow it to tip over when the bed is operated which could cause serious injury.

3. Attach the SICO®wall-mounting fixture to the bed-recess verticals:

a. Hold the fixture flush with

the top and back edges of the verticals, then push it straight back against the wall.

b. Hold the fixture in this posi-

tion, and mark the location of the screw holes.

c. Drill 1/8” dia. pilot holes in

both verticals, 3/4” deep.

d. Attach the fixture to the

inside of the verticals with four screws (part number 103745 ) at each end.

If the fixture must be moved more than 3/4” back beyond the edge of th vertical (because the wall is very uneven or out of plumb), contact the factory before installing.

The wood screws (Part No.

103745) supplied for attaching the SICO wall-mounting fixture and the EUROBED®mechanism plate are intended for verticals which are 1” or more thick. If your verticals are less then 1” thick, install washers under the screw heads as necessary.

SECURE BASEPLATE TO FLOOR (continued)

WARNING

DONOTfloor mount the bed on top of post tension concrete. If you are unsure of the concrete, have the floor x-rayed or check with the architect. Serious injury and damage to the unit can occur.

FLOORANCHORING-

Hard Concrete Slab Floors

NOTE: Anchors for hard concrete slab floors are provided with the bed. Use six anchors per bed. Use anchors appropriate to the type of

floor: SICO®recommends Red Head #HN-1230 1/2 x 3” Expansion Anchors, or their equivalent.

1. Have the baseplate in position before installing anchors.

2. At the first anchor location, drill a 1/2” diameter hole straight down through the baseplate and at least 2-3/4” into the concrete. You may have to drill a 1/4”

diameter pilot hole, then enlarge it to 1/2”.

Do not allow the drill to rotate and hammer on the hard aggregate, or the hole may become enlarged. If this happens, refer to the procedure for “Lightweight Concrete Floors” on page 11.

3. Install the washer onto the anchor bolt (see note above), then install the nut one turn.

Drive the anchor into the hole.

IMPORTANT: The anchor must extend at least 1-3/4” into the concrete.

4. Tighten the nut on the anchor. If you don’t feel firm resistance on the wrench, the anchor isn’t seating or locking properly (the floor may be lightweight concrete - see page 11).

INSTALL EUROBED®IN RECESS

1. Back off the mechanism adjuster nuts fully.

CAUTION

2. For the 24/7 EUROBED®, install toe-

kick with brackets and wood screws at the bottom of the recess opening. The bottom edge of the toe-kick is even with the bottom edge of the vertical (see 24/7 EUROBED®specification sheet for location of the toe-kick).

3. With one person on each side, lift the bed frame to a nearly-vertical position. Lift with one hand on a slat and the other hand on the outside against the face of the bed.

4. Keep you back braced against the front of the recess, and very carefully lift the bed into the recess opening making sure you don’t strike either the side or top edge of the recess or toe-kick. Keep the bed nearly vertical.

Adjuster Nut

Two people are required at all times

when placing the bed into the recess. Be very careful to keep your arms and fingers out of the space between the bed frame and the edge of the verticals.

5. Lift the bed so the shafts rest on the front edge of the mechanism plates.

Gently lower the bed into the slots in the mechanism plate.

NOTE: Both pivot shafts should go into their slots at the same time. Lowering one at a time may damage the vertical or header.

INSTALL EUROBED®IN RECESS (continued)

6. Check the alignment of the bed and recess. If the side gaps are not equal (about 1/4” each), insert a large flatblade screwdriver between the edge of the bed frame and the mechanism plate. Do not push against the edge of the vertical, or it may be damaged.

Push the screwdriver in the direction that the bed must be moved.

Once the bed is centered, drop a flat washer (or a penny) between the end of the shaft and the edge of the mechanism plate to prevent sideways movement.

7. With the bed in the nearly-verticalposition, adjust the gap at the top of the recess by turning the adjuster bolt in the pivot shaft:

- Clockwise to raise the bed in the

recess, or

- Counterclockwise to lower the bed

in the recess.

The final gap on top should be about 3/8” for EUROBED®and 1-5/16” for the 24/7 EUROBED®.

IMPORTANT

For easy identification of parts, the bed is shown down in the illustrations for steps 5 and 6.

DONOT make these adjustments when the bed is down - adjust the nuts only when the bed is in the near-

ly-vertical position.

Adjuster Bolt

8. With the bed still in the nearly vertical position, tighten the mechanism adjuster nuts as far as possible by

hand.

Install the mattress, and check the operation of the bed. Raising the bed should require only moderate pressure. If it is hard to raise, tighten the adjuster nuts by equal amounts until the bed operates satisfactorily. Use a 3/4” deep socket for final adjustment.
