Place the main vat tray over the film and gently
press down. Screw the four corners first loosley.
Tighten the M3 bolts which were inserted in
step 6. Tighten the four corner bolts, insert and
tighten the remaining bolts.
Note: Do not fully tighten each bolt individually.
This will cause the Main Vat to tension at an
angle. Aim to half tighten the bolts and fully
tighten once all the bolts are secured.

The vat should now be tensioned. Trim excess edges off the film.
