Support legs, plugs, and feet come in pairs. Support legs come in lengths corresponding
to the layout.

Loosen all set screws in the platform corner pocket and the foot’s thumb screw, if

Set screws on the outside of the platform are for the platform support legs.
2.2.2.2. Set screws on the inside of the platform are for the platform angle posts.
2.2.3.
Tip the platform on its side, then slide the support legs into the four platform corner
pockets. Adjust the support legs to the approximate platform height needed (FIG. 2.4).
Platform Configurations: The platform support legs must be no shorter than flush
with the top of the corner pocket and extend no more than 2-3/4” above.
Deck Configurations: When creating decks from platforms (
see ‘CREATING DECKS

screws just enough to hold the support legs in place but do not over tighten (second set
