PREPARATION:
Carefully lay out all hardware and parts. Check quantities and match to Hardware Bag & Carton Parts Lists. If a part is missing or broken
contact your dealer or Legacy, 812/ 883-3111, (FAX 812-883-1819), http://www.childcraftind.com, for a replacement part or instructional
literature. Before contacting identify your crib. Identification numbers are stamped on the underneath edge of bottom rail of Footboard M ,
Headboard L , crib side O or N or stamped on a label attached to the inside face of Footboard M bottom rail. Record the complete
model identification number now: #__________________. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS!

STEP 1- DIAGRAM 1: HARDWARE APPLICATION TO HEADBOARD Lay Footboard M and Headboard L down horizontally, (outside
facing down)as shown. Insert an Upper Guide Bushing C and affix
& FOOTBOARD AND ATTACH STATIONARY SIDE. a Flathead Machine Screw B as shown to Footboard M . Note:
use hand screwdriver not battery or electric driver. Tighten but do not overtighten. (Overtightening can cause the Upper Guide Bushing C to
compress down.) The Upper Guide Bushing C must slide freely in groove of the metal track attached to the ends of Dropside O . At this time read
and understand Diagram 4 before proceeding. Test to see that the metal top track will slide freely over Upper Guide Bushing C , if not loosen Flathead
Machine Screw B until the metal top track slides freely, but make sure Upper Guide Bushing C is securely attached. Insert a Lower Guide Pin D
into its receiving hole located on inside face of Footboard M exactly as shown. Follow the same procedure to install the remaining Upper Guide
Bushing C and the Lower Guide Pin D to Headboard L . Lower Guide Pins D will remain loose in their receiving holes. Follow Diagram 1 exactly
for installing Wood Drawer Rail M M and Drawer Cabinet Rail-Right J J to Footboard M using (3) Flathead Phillips Wood Screws B B. Follow

Headboard L. Insert a K-D Bolt Plug E into the hole near the end of Stretcher Y. Pull each K-D Bolt G out just enough to allow K-D Bolt Plug E
to be fully inserted into its receiving hole. (Note: it may be necessary to loosen one of the lower bolts G which were installed during Step 1). Loosening
one of the lower bolts G will allow the Stretcher Y to move easier into its proper location. Take care to tighten securely any bolt loosened after
the completion of this step. Install the other Stretcher Y to Headboard L following the same process.

to select a spring height position and to attach
1 . Decide on your preference of height placement of Spring Spring P to Stretchers Y .
P . You have three position choices, highest, middle and
lowest holes in Spring P as shown. After you select your
highest position
height, attach one end of the long end of Scissor Arm
Assembly to Spring P by first inserting an Allenhead Bolt Smooth side
H through selected position hole in Spring P then through of Spring P
one end of Scissor Arm Assembly, add a Nut Z exactly as Scissor Arm
is the top assembly
shown. Repeat this procedure until one end of each of the
(4) Scissor Arm Assemblies is attached to Spring P at the
same height position. Tighten all (4) Allenhead Bolts H while
holding Nuts Z with a 10mm or adjustable wrench. Tighten
each assembly securely.

2 . Carefully lift Spring P into the crib. Spring P will attach

to the outside holes in the two installed Stretchers Y . Insert
an Allenhead Bolt H first through the remaining long end of middle position
the Scissor Arm Assembly into the threaded insert as lowest position
shown and follow the procedure exactly. Repeat the
procedure with the remaining (3) long ends of the Scissor
Arm Assemblies to Stretcher Y . Tighten each assembly Z
securely.
Mount Nut Z on
opposite end as shown
3 . Whenever you decide on another height position first
remove the crib mattress. Remove Spring P by detaching

can be inserted into the long groove of the plastic Lower Tracks. As you
prepare to accomplish this please note the following:
If the Stretcher Assembly Y was not loosened enough (as described in
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION OF DROPSIDE in the beginning of
this step) there will not be enough slack to create the necessary gap required
for the Lower Guide Pin D to pass through. Prematurely forcing the pin O C M
through a gap with inadequate clearance could damage the finish on the
Dropside O . If your crib has too small of a gap, then lower Dropside O to its
lowest position and check to verify that preparation at beginning of Step 4

If it was performed correctly, but the gap is still too small, it may be because
the Stretcher Y assembly needs to be pulled away from the bottom rails of
