Stand at either side of the frame.* Grasp the back deck with one hand and place the other hand on the center of the futon mattress. In one continuous motion, pull up on the back deck and push in on the futon mattress until the frame stops in the seating position (fig 2).

* When using either a queen size bi-fold or a high-density futon mattress, it is helpful to use two people (one on each side) to operate the frame.
