slide the WATT forward, keeping the WATT elevated in the rear, until the 
front spikes rest securely in the front receptacle. Be careful not to damage 
the painted edges of the WATT or Puppy.

•  Grasping the handle and top of WATT, slide the WATT forward  until the 

spikes slide into the spike receptacle (see Figure 5 above).  The two front 
spikes will now be resting in the holes of the receptacle atop the Puppy.
