HARD Manufacturing will support parts on our cribs and beds for up to 12 years from the date of manufacture as long as we still make the part or can obtain it from our vendors.
SIDE RAIL OPERATION & SAFETY Crib rails are raised and lowered with a Johns Hopkins Handle. The side rail or end rails have “trigger” mechanisms that must lock into place to hold up the rail safely. The red tips of the triggers must be securely seated in the notches of the slide rods on both ends, and you should barely be able to see the red tip if at all.
CRANK HANDLE USAGE THE HEAD CRANK HANDLE The head crank handle is located on the far left of the foot end of the crib. The head crank handle should be tucked in when not in use to help prevent damage from it hitting or getting caught on other objects when the crib is being moved.
