Folding and Storing your Z44
TM
New Millennium
Your Z44
TM
has a tool-free folding process that takes only a couple of minutes. Keep the following things in
mind:
<
Frame must not be tilted when it is to be folded. (See “Tilting the
Z44
TM
NM” in previous
section.)
<
Set the tilt to the horizontal setting (top notch). Re-tighten the tilt-control wing nuts on the Pivot Section
(one on each side).
<
The folding feature will not affect the quilt in progress.
<
The depth of the folded frame is about 16".
<
Follow the steps in order, without variation.
<
Reverse steps to unfold.
<
You can use the WingGrip
TM
Tool to loosen and tighten your wing nuts!
STEP 1: Loosen the wing nuts on the outside Diagonal Stands (one on each side).
STEP 2: Lift the pole assembly up, and allow it to slide down
STEP 3: The pole assembly will
drop down until it rest diagonal
against the stand (see right).
STEP 4: Re-tighten the two wing nuts
loosened in Step 1.
STEP 5: Loosen the wing nuts on the
Base Legs (one on each side)
STEP 6: Lift the frame by the brace until the Base Legs drop in the slot.
STEP 7: Gently lay frame down
and re-tighten wing nuts. (If the
Base Legs do not drop down and fold automatically, or if your
frame is set up in a bigger size, you can fold the Base Legs
manually, one side at-a-time.
STEP 8: Lifting the frame by the
braces, stand the frame on its head
as pictured (right) so it can be free-
standing.
***NOTE: IF THE FRAME PARTS DO NOT MOVE AT THE JOINTS
SMOOTHLY, CHECK THE NYLON LOCK NUTS AND MAKE SURE
THEY ARE NOT OVER-TIGHTENED.
