Assembly Method
1.0 Slide item C (bellows) over item D (inner column) as shown on the drawing on page 12.
1.5 Insert and snap lock item B (outer tube friction grommet) onto the end of item A (outer column). Use
a rubber mallet, if necessary.
2.0 Slide item D (inner column) into item A (outer column) so item B (friction grommet) rests flush against
the base column plate of item D. Insert item E (inner tube friction grommet) into the open end of item
A (outer column).
2.5 Pull item D (inner column) out of item A (outer column) approximately 6 inches. Insert item H (lift/lock
assembly, single top) into item A with the cylinder shaft end first. Align the T-handle with the holes in
item D (inner column). Insert item F (clevis pin) through both column walls and the T-handle. Fasten
item G (cotter pin) through the slot on item F (clevis pin). Extend item A (outer column) and properly
align the column through holes with the T-handle. Insert item J (clevis pin) through both column walls
and the T-handle. Fasten item G (cotter pin) through the slot in item J (clevis pin).
3.0 Insert the inner column end of the assembly into a holding fixture. Snap (2) item M (nyliner) onto item
K (release handle) as shown on page 12. Align item K (release handle) with item A (outer column) so
the two nyliners nest into the notches on item A.
NOTE
Be sure item K (release handle) is aligned properly with item D (inner column).
3.5 Fasten item L (hex nut) to the release rod and firmly tighten against item K (release handle).
