3. Locating the leg
and foot sections
and inserting the
gas strut
Where there is limited
head room it is
recommended that
the foot section is
laid on its side for
assembly as Fig 3.
Insert the gas strut in
the orientation shown
in Fig 3.
Place the leg section
over the gas strut as
Fig 3 (B)
(Note:
Orientate the leg to
ensure the top catch
bracket is pointing
towards the floor),
while raising the leg
at the same time
(taking care not to
damage the gas
strut), compressing
the gas strut and
pushing down as far
as the moulding on
the foot section as
Fig 3 (C).
Note: The
bottom handwheel
needs to be almost
all the way out.
4. The top catch
bracket should be
located on the inside
as Fig 4. Tighten the
lower handwheel to
secure in place.
Safety note: The
leg is not yet free
standing. Do not
leave the leg
unattended. Lay it
on the floor, against
a bed or wall.
Repeat for other leg.
