According to the installation plan, determine the mounting position and direction of the front legs. Either two screws
or single screw (Buildex 14-11 x 70 Hex Head Zips screw) is required depending on the installation spacing requirement.
See two screws and single screw options in Figures 1 and 2. Tin foot front leg installation is in Figure 3.

Please follow Buildex screws installation guide below:
- Use a 3/8" Hex Socket.
- Use a mains powered or cordless screw driver with a drive speed of 3,000 RPM maximum.
- Fit the driver bit into the screw and place at the fastening position.
- Apply consistently firm pressure (end load) to the screw driver until the screw is fastened.
- Screws with bonded washers should be tightened only until the washer is gripped firmly enough to provide a
watertight seal. The screws should be neither under tightened nor over tightened to lead to water penetration.
Take particular care to ensure the screw is driven perpendicular to the interface to avoid deformation of the washer.

Over Tightened
Notes:
1. Two screws shall be installed through two side holes
of front leg (as shown in Figure 1);
2. Single screw shall be installed through central hole
only of front leg (as shown in Figure 2).
