3.1.3 If your base frame has been supplied as a kit, assemble the base frame following steps 3.2

3.2 Base frame assembly procedure
Throughout this entire procedure, whenever a connection is made with a ½-13 stud or
bolt and hex nut, thread nut on to the point where it engages the split lock washer then,
using a wrench, tighten the nut ½ turn! This is an initial tightening spec which will allow
for the necessary adjustment in leveling and squaring of the frame while firmly securing the
components together.
It is suggested that you familiarize yourself with this procedure and all of the associated
components before beginning assembly.
3.3 Begin assembly by orienting the left and right back legs, as shown in figure 1, on a flat and
level work surface.

washer, (1) ½" split lock washer and (1) ½-13 hex nut per stud. (see figure 2)
