Proper Hardware Assembly
Lag screws require drilling pilot
holes to avoid splitting wood. Only a
installation liquid soap can be used
on all lag-type screws.
For bolts, tap T-Nut into hole with
hammer. Insert the hex bolt through
then hole. Because the assemblies
need to be squared do not completely
tighten until instructed. Pay close
attention to diameter of the bolts.
5/16” is slightly larger than 1/4”.
Note:
Wafer head bolts with blue lock
tight or a bolt with a Ny-Lok nut do
NOT require a lock washer.
Once the assembly is tightened, watch for exposed
threads. If a thread protrudes from the T-Nut, remove
the bolt and add washers to eliminate this condition.
Extra washers have been provided for this purpose.
special attention. Improper assembly could
lead to an unsafe or dangerous condition.
Where this is shown, 2 or 3
people are required to safely
complete the step. To avoid
injury or damage to the
assembly make sure to
get help!
Check that assembly is square
before tightening bolts.
Use a measuring tape to
assure proper location.
Check that set or assembly is properly level
before proceeding.
Pre-drill a pilot hole
before fastening screw

This indicates time to tighten bolts, but
not too tight! Do not crush the wood.
This may create splinters and cause
structural damage.
