ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

Do not connect to power supply until assembly 
is  complete.  Failure  to  comply  could  result  in 
accidental starting and possible serious injury.

TO ATTACH THE COLUMN ASSEMBLY TO THE 
BASE

See Figure 4.

Locate four hex head bolts.

Position  base  on  flat  surface.  Remove  protective 
covering and discard.

Remove  protective  sleeve  from  column  tube  and 
discard.  Place  column  assembly  on  base,  and  align 
holes in column support with holes in base.

Install  a  hex  head  bolt  in  each  hole  through  column 
support and base and tighten with adjustable wrench.

TO ATTACH THE TABLE CRANK AND TABLE 
LOCK

See Figure 5.

Locate table crank and table lock.

Install  table  lock  from

tighten by hand.

Install table crank assembly.

Tighten  set  screw  with  a  3  mm  hex  key.  Do  not 
overtighten.

  NOTE

:  Set  screw  should  be  tightened  against  the  flat 

section of the shaft.

: To minimize crank backlash, tighten table lock, 

rotate  elevation  worm  shaft  clockwise,  then  assemble 
crank tight against table support and tighten set screw.

Check  column  collar  for  proper  adjustment.  Collar 
should  not  be  angled  on  the  column  and  it  should  be

is rotated 360° around column tube. If readjusted, only 
tighten set screw enough to keep collar in place.
