At bottom of (1367) Post MK attach (0353) MK Ground with 2 (H12) Hex Bolts (with lock washer, flat washer
and t-nut).
Be sure to keep the bolts loose.
(fig. 35.3)
Note: Pre-drill all holes using a 1/8” (3.2 mm) drill bit before installing the lag screws.
E:
Make sure the assembly is square and then attach 1 (0369) Lower Diagonal to each end of (0353) MK Ground
with 1 (H2) Hex Bolt (with lock washer, flat washer and t-nut) per diagonal, keeping the bolts loose, and to each
(1367) Post MK with 1 (LS2) Lag Screw (with flat washer) per diagonal. Once lag screws are installed tighten all
