Installing the Push-Through Pole Assembly

Installing the Roll-Down Upright Poles

The push-through pole assembly comes pre-assembled. Before you install it to 
the head of the cadillac frame, make sure that the allen screws are backed all the 
way out of the frame’s fittings and that there are no obstructions in the fittings’ 
holes. Doing so prevents the poles from being scratched. If your ceiling is less 
than 8 1/2’ high, tip the cadillac table over on its side.

1. Slide the two push-through upright poles through the fittings mounted on the 
back of each table leg on the same side as the attached footstrap. The open end 
of the 3-way fittings located at the top left and right corners of the assembly 
face toward the center of the cadillac. You may need to gently jostle the pole 
system back and forth while inserting it through the fittings. The poles rest on the 
eyebolts located directly under the bottom fitting.
2. Do not tighten the allen screws in the fittings at this time.

The roll-down upright pole system comes unassembled and consists of two 
upright poles and a cross pole. If you have purchased the optional leg-spring 
slider bar, read below. To install the roll-down upright poles, first make sure 
that the allen screws are backed all the way out of the fittings located on the 
far side legs (see Installing the Push-Through Pole Assembly) and that there 
are no obstructions in the fittings’ holes. Doing so protects the poles from being 
scratched.

1. The roll-down upright poles are outfitted with 6 eyebolts each (4 on one side 
and 2 on the other). Slide one pole through each pair of fittings mounted to the 
back of each table leg at the opposite end from the push-through bar. Make 
sure the poles are oriented so that the side of the poles with the 4 eyebolts faces 
toward the push-through bar.
2. Insert the roll-down cross pole with its fittings to the top of the roll-down 
upright poles. The cross pole eyebolts should face down.
3. Do not tighten the allen screws or 1/2” nuts in the fittings at this time.

If you ordered your cadillac with the optional leg-spring slider bar, perform the 
following steps:

1. Have an assistant hold the optional leg-spring slider bar assembly such that 
its fittings are directly over the respective fittings mounted to the back of each 
table leg at the end of the table opposite the push-through bar. Make sure that 
the side of the slider bar with the eyebolts faces the push-through bar.
2. Slide one of the upright poles through the end fitting of the slider bar and then 
through the two fittings mounted on one of the table legs. Seat the upright pole 
against the eye bolt located immediately below the bottom fitting. Repeat with the 
second upright pole.
3. Slide the leg-spring slider assembly approximately half way up the roll-down 
upright poles.
4. Insert the cross pole into the fittings at the top of the roll-down upright poles. 
Make sure the eyebolts are facing down and the open ends of the 3-way fittings 
face in.
5. Do not tighten the allen screws in the fittings at this time.

BEFORE ASSEMBLY: Flip over hinged carriage and place 
Twin Mat System on top of frame (see page 13).
