k) Line up the holes in the hold down plate (be sure to use
the holes shown in Image 2.43 ) with the holes in the base
U-Channel (key 7) and fasten with two self-tapping screws.
l) The hold down plates are installed on the base U-channels
in pairs. Repeat steps (i) and (j) for the second hold down plate
(key 11) on the base U-channel (key 7). Set the second plate
so the flange overlaps the
first hold down plate. Line up the holes in the hold down plate
and base channel (see Image 2.44 & 2.45) and fasten with
two self tapping screws (key 12). Tighten all of the screws.

first two grooves of the hold down plate.

every upright and then check measurement again.
