Step 4 : If the strap does not pull through smoothly, the strap may be twisted under
the mattress. Correct this before continuing with the installation.
Once you have taken the slack out of the straps, give one final pull on the strap end,
hold it, and lock the locking tab on the locking buckle by pushing up on the thumb
tab. Use the same procedure for each side to properly secure the bed rail.
IMPORTANT : After locking both buckles, check to make sure that the mesh wall of
the bed rail is firmly up against the side of the mattress. There should be NO GAPS.
If the mesh wall is not firmly against the side of the mattress, check to make sure
the locking buckle is functioning properly and that the strap is not twisted beneath
the mattress. Once this has been checked and corrected if needed, unlock the
buckle, pull on the end of the strap to tightly and lock the buckle again.
NOTE : Store the excess anchoring strap material by tucking it under the mattress.
WARNING : In order for the bed rail fabric wall to be firmly held against the side of
the mattress you MUST properly tighten the anchoring straps. Please follow the
directions below very carefully.
Step 3 : Tighten the straps to bring the bedrail into it’s proper position. To tighten
the straps, first release the strap locks located on the under side of the Guide Bar
Assemblies. Pull the straps towards you until all the excess slack has been pulled out from
under the mattress.

CAUTION: When using this bed rail on a foam mattress with little or no internal structure,
make sure not to over tighten the mounting straps. If over-tightened, the mattress will
likely fold or buckle in the middle and this will cause the bed rail to not provide your child
with the highest level of safety. Make slight adjustments to find the best level of tightness
on your mattress. The bed rail must be tight but should not buckle or fold.
