1) For easier assembly, place the base upside down on a flat surface.
2) Insert rear leg in base with foot pointing outward as shown. Secure to base with bolt, nut, and washer. Tray support is pre-
set with a clamp collar for approximate position and is adjustable. (see "Tray Adjustment" note below).
3) Insert front legs so feet are pointing outward and secure to base with bolts, washers, and nuts.
4) To assemble tray, open tray so that side of flanges are facing bottom of base. Attach the rear leg first with tray pin
then proceed to front legs.
5) Push "X" washers in pin grooves and pinch long ends together with pliers.
6) Stand tristand on legs. If you have a yoke vise tripod, assemble yoke to base. The hook on the yoke can either be
on the right or left side depending on operator.
