Q: Why is the zipper difficult to open or close?
a: It could be one or more of the following reasons:
a. Fabric, bedding, or other material caught in the slider. To release material, back the slider
off by pulling the tab in the opposite direction until the slider is free. Make sure the
canopy is intact and there are no tears or holes in the fabric.
b. Check the zipper teeth to make sure none of the coils are kinked.
c. Use the pull-tab to slide the zipper. Each access panel zipper has a warning instruction
plastic tag. If the plastic tag is damaged or becomes unreadable, it must be replaced.
Call Posey at 1.800.447.6739 and request a free replacement (Part L9368).

Q: Why is the zipper separating after zipping up?
a: The slider is damaged and does not properly engage the coils when it is being opened.
DO NOt use the Posey Bed. This problem can be minimized by aLWaYs using the zipper
pull-tab to open the zipper.
NeveR rip the access panel open because it will damage the
zipper slider and prevent the zipper from closing securely.
