PLATFORM AND BENCH INSTALLATION

4.  The workbench is optional. Use the workbench to haul material and  
 

tools in the air for easy access and processing. Never stand or sit on  

 

the workbench under any circumstances. To install the work bench,  

 

place a matching length platform on the bench supports. Place the  

 

bench upside down to allow a trough for material to be placed.  

 

Complete the bench installation by threading the supplied chains  

 

through the cross-member of the bench platform and secure to the  

 

traveler and bench support as previous.
