mechanisms as you do this. Raise the rail up until it is at the highest position and then
release the Johns Hopkins handle or Fingertip Release to lock the rail in place.

parts in place, lift the side assembly up and position it on the lower crib eye.

assembly under upper crib eyes and then release. Reinstall the hardware back on the top
of the slide rods. Do not overtighten the screw.
