Fitting Insert Plate to Table Surface

1.

Identify the components required, see below.

2.

Assemble the four Insert Plate Adjustment Bolts
and the four Nylock Nuts to table as shown in fig.
G1.
After a few turns some resistance will be felt as the
screws are gripped by the Nylock Nuts. Screw just
enough to leave a few threads protruding through
the nut.

3.

Place the Insert Plate into the large opening in the
table.  The position of the plate should be with the
Threaded Hole to the front right of the Table
Surface
, see fig. G2.

4.

While pressing down on the Insert plate, gradually
adjust the Insert Plate Adjustable Bolts with a
screwdriver until the Insert Plate is level with the
Table Surface.  A steel rule or T-square can be
placed on the top of the Insert Plate to help this
levelling process.
The Insert Plate must be be supported equally on
all four Insert Plate Adjustment Bolts. When
pressure is applied, the Insert Plate should be
stable.

5.

Insert the four Insert Plate Retaining Bolts and fit
the four Nylock Nuts to secure the Insert Plate to
the Table Surface, and tighten securely, see fig.
G.3.
