Base Unit Assembly
Hint -
It may help with assembly to lay the legs and panels on their back edge until the bench is at a
stage where it can be stood on its feet. Ensure some form of protection is laid down to prevent
damage to the painted surfaces.
NOTE :
Figures in brackets refer to item numbers in contents list on front page.
1.
Assemble feet (
10, 11& 12
) and attach two to each leg (
1
&
2
). Screw in as far as possible.
DO
NOT
tighten.
2.
Attach the top panel (

) to the left leg (
1
) using M5x8 round head screws, nuts and lockwashers,
DO NOT
tighten at this stage.
NOTE:
Top panel has cut out in the front lip for the cross panel to fit into.
3.
Attach the bottom panel (

To ensure the assembly is as square as possible before continuing, position the bench where
it is to be sited. Place spirit level on the upper panel and adjust the feet until the unit is level in
both directions, i.e. front to back and side to side, secure with locking nuts. Once satisfied
the unit is as square as possible, proceed to tighten all screws and nuts, starting in the centre
and working outwards until all are tight, DO NOT overtighten.
