Tower Installation (continued)
Attach Frame to the Center Panels (continued)
2. Place wood blocks (that were saved from the packaging) under both sides of the frame assembly
to hold it steady and to keep pressure off of the panels.
The wood blocks must be at even heights on both sides and positioned to not extend beyond the edge
of the frame as shown.
3. Align the frame assembly and the center panels:
Proper alignment is critical!
a. Set the distance between the bottom of the lower center panel and the bottom of the frame assembly
to be 28-5/8" (727 mm) on both sides.
This is a critical measurement!
b. The seam between the center panels should be at the center of the middle fixed hinge.
4. Attach the fixed hinges to the center panels.
a. With the center panels in position and square to the tower frame using a 9/32" drill bit, drill a hole
through the inside panel surface only into each panel at each marked location.
Do not drill through the panel surface on the other side.
b. Clean away any wood shavings from drilling.
c. Attach the fixed hinges to the center panels using 5/16-18 x 1" hex head tapping screws in the
sequence shown below.
