Place the supplied washer on top of the nut and then screw each of the feet into
the threaded inserts on the bottom of the first vertical leg subassembly (see
Photos 27 & 28). The feet should be threaded into the insert until the washer is
held in contact with the bottom of the leg. (This ensures maximum engagement
between the insert and the foot).

Carefully set one leg assembly against the base mounts so that the keys and
keyway lock together (see Photo 29), then fasten the leg to the mounts using four
1/4”-20x3/4” screws at each level (see Photo 30). Leave the fasteners 1/4 turn
away from fully tightened until the stand is completely assembled. Do not force
the alignment of the horizontal crossmember subassembly and vertical leg
subassembly. If the subassemblies do not line up easily make sure the sixteen
fasteners (see Photo 22) holding the horizontal crossmember subassembly have
been loosened a full 1/4 turn from fully tightened.

Torque all fasteners in each column prior to installing additional columns. When
assembling a stand with more columns, repeat this “Doublewide Systems” section
to install the next column. Once you have fully assembled your stand, use the
provided 5/32” T-wrench and ratchet wrench to apply the final torque on each
fastener. Final torque is achieved when you are able to turn the T-wrench handle
1/8 turn without rotating the fastener. Do not use any extension or large wrenches
that could over-torque and strip the threads.
