1. Unfold each Base Assembly (Part A) until
corners are at 90-degrees (Fig. 1).
2. Place a Flat Washer (Part K) over the Caster
Post (Part P).
3. Insert the Caster (Part P) into the pre-drilled
hole next to the corner receptacle in the Base
Assembly (Part A).
4. Place a Star Washer (Part L) and Nut (Part J) on
the Caster Bolt (Fig. 2). Use the 9/16” wrench
(not provided) to tighten.
5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 on the remaining
three corners.
6. Remove the Allen Head Screw (Part M) from
the arm of each Base Assembly (Part A) and

7. With slots facing inside (Fig. 3), slide the
Bottom Center Piece (Part B2) over both Base
Assembly Arms.
The Allen Head Screws on the
bottom center piece of the Posey Bed must be
secure, but loose enough so the A-Frame slides
freely when raising or lowering the head or
foot of the hospital bed. A failure to heed this
warning may interfere with proper operation of
the hospital bed (See red arrows fig. 4).
8. Reattach the Allen Head Screw in the slots of
the Bottom Center Piece (Part B2) (Fig. 4)
