GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Check all the parts and hardware with the packing list to be sure you have received
everything needed to assemble this product. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR WITH
NOTIFICATION OF ANY MISSING OR DAMAGED PARTS. Contact must be made within ten days of
receipt of your order.
Only hand-tighten nuts & bolts on initial assembly. Final tightening should be done
EVENLY after final assembly when unit has been plumbed & leveled.
After assembly is complete, ANY ENDS OF BOLTS PROTRUDING BEYOND NUTS SHOULD BE CUT OFF
AND/OR PEENED OVER TO REMOVE ANY SHARP EDGES. Go over entire unit to file smooth any
sharp edges or projections that may have been caused by rough handling in shipping or
installation. T-Clamps are designed for both one and two bolt connections. In many
situations only one bolt is required. See specific assembly instructions.
On products with platforms install 1 – 2 degrees off level to facilitate water drainage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
Check MONTHLY for loose bolts, damaged or broken parts. Tighten and/or replace
immediately.
SPECIFIC ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE:
All threaded ends of bolts protruding beyond nuts must be cut off and/or
peened to eliminate sharp edges. No more than two threads should extend
beyond face of nut.
All washers, “T” nuts, and other fastener hardware used on round pipe or
tubing must be hammered down to conform to the curved underlying surface to
eliminate catch points.
STEP #1:
Mark & dig footing holes per SKETCH on PAGE #2.
STEP #2:
Assemble unit on the ground.
STEP #3:
Stand upright & brace in footing holes. Attach braces to legs to hold
proper height. Length of pipe below intended level of resilient surfacing
should be approximately 24”. Two long braces holding 2 legs each are
recommended.
STEP #4:
Plumb & level. Tighten all screws using a short length of pipe with socket
key for added leverage. Pour concrete. Let stand 48 hours before removing
braces, installing resilient surfacing and using equipment.

surface. The labels should be attached in a location where they are clearly
visible and legibl3e and away from normal hand and foot placement areas.
The labels must be replaced if they become illegible, destroyed or removed.
Contact your distributor for replacement labels.
