BASE & COLUMN
1. Select the base (#1) and align the column
flange (#2) over the large hole.
2. Align the bolt holes in the column flange
with those in the base and secure in place
using the bolts (#4) and washers (#3).
Tighten all bolts with a wrench.
3. Mount and securely bolt the base to the
floor to prevent it from moving or tipping
during use.
4. Slide the column (#4) into the column flange.
5. Secure in place with 2 set screws using a
hex key.
RACK & TABLE
1. Remove the rack (#6) from the column by
loosening the collar set screw and removing
the collar (#8). The rack is stowed in this
position only for transit purposes.
2. Lubricate the worm gear (#66) with light
grease and insert shaft first into worm gear housing in the arm, which
should fully mesh with the Helical Gear. Hold it in this position. The worm
gear shaft will extend through the housing to be ready for the crank to be
attached in a later step.
3. Gently slide the arm assembly over the column and hold it steady while
inserting the rack (#5) down through the worm gear housing, meshing
with the helical gear, ensuring the long smooth end of the rack is
uppermost. The bottom end of the rack will fit into the groove formed by
the column (#6) and column flange (#2).
4. Hold the assembly in this position while replacing the collar (#8) on the
column and ensure that the end of the rack is firmly engaged in the groove
formed between the collar and the column. However, make sure the rack (#5)
is not pinched and there is a working clearance between the rack and collar.
5. Firmly secure the collar with the collar set screw.
