ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
P/N: LL-204-51
Assembly Instructions Include:
Step 1: Site Preparation Step 8: Bracing
Step 2: Leg Assembly Step 9: Guard Rail Installation
Step 3-7: Setting the Stage Step 10: Stairs
Step 1 Site Preparation
A. Determine the exact location where the stage will be erected.
B. For outdoor stages, mudsills are required to distribute the weight
(125 PSF to 150 PSF) on the stage legs. This will prevent the legs
from sinking and ease the leveling of the stage.
C. All base pads and mudsills should be placed only on a horizontal
surface.
Step 2 Leg Assembly
Attach an adjustable rubber base pad to each galvanized leg using a 2” snap
pin.
The leg sockets on the stage sections fit 1-3/4” sq. stage legs. Use one of
the following only:
a) 1-3/4” telescoping stage legs. Overlap telescoping section a minimum of
6” and secure with a 2” snap pin as shown at left.
b) 1-3/4” non-telescoping stage legs.
c) 1-1/2” sq. non-telescoping stage legs with a 1-3/4” sleeve. Overlap sleeve
a minimum of 6” and secure with a 2” snap pin as shown at left.
Step 3 Setting the Stage
A. Insert legs completely into all four corner sockets (and into
intermediate sockets, when required) of the first stage section.
B. See Table on Page 8 for rated loads of all stage configurations.
WARNING
Failure to properly install stage legs will result in
serious injury or death.
C. Tighten the leg socket clip (image at right) at each corner socket
where a stage leg is installed.
TO INSTALL STAGE LEGS:
Pull and hold pin in the unlocked position.
Insert leg.
Release pin to lock leg in place.
IMPORTANT:
member. Leg must be FULLY INSERTED so that it
touches the bottom of stage deck.
Pin is not a load-bearing

Step 3 Setting the Stage, Continued
A. Set first stage section in back left-hand corner of stage site.
Any corner may be used as a starting point when using 4’ x
4’ decks exclusively.
B. Align the stage section so that the connecting brackets
facing up are inside the starting area and the connecting
brackets facing down are outside, as shown in the diagram.
As additional stage sections are added, always make sure
that the up-facing connecting brackets face toward the stage
site. Build stage in the direction(s) indicated by the arrows in
the diagrams below and at right.
NOTE: When using 4’ x 8’ stage sections,
adjust the starting point to achieve desired
stage position and shape. Up-facing
connecting brackets should always face
toward the stage site.
Step 4
A. Set the back row of stage sections first.
B. Insert two legs into each additional stage section,
as shown, and attach to previous section by
inserting the connecting brackets into the CChannel of the adjacent stage section.
C. Additional stage sections should be attached so
that connecting brackets facing up are inside the
starting area.

Step 4 Continued
D. Install Leg Brackets, as necessary. Leg brackets
(shown at right) should be installed into empty leg
sockets along the perimeter to prevent stage
sections from sliding. Leg brackets are installed in
the same way as stage legs, as shown in Step 3.
Step 5
The modular design of the AS-2100 allows stage rows to
be staggered. When staggering rows of stage sections,
install 4 legs into the first stage section of each staggered
row, as shown
.
Step 6
After completing the back row of stage sections, begin the second row by attaching one section with two legs.
Step 7
To continue the second row, completely
insert one leg into corner socket of one
stage section and attach to adjacent
sections as shown.
Additional sections in each row are
assembled and attached in a like manner.
Repeat Steps 6-7 for each additional row.
4
Step 8 Bracing
Bracing is required on stages with a height greater than 30.” Users may choose either horizontal or diagonal bracing.
Follow the instructions below for the chosen bracing method.
A. Horizontal Bracing
1. Brace each corner and every third bay along each side, using two braces per bay. To install horizontal
braces:
A. Insert brace pins into stage legs.
B. Turn bracket until it is perpendicular with the stage. Bracket lip should rest flush against the outer
edge of the stage leg.
C. Tighten the hex nut on the front of the horizontal brace to secure the bracket.
D. Reverse the procedure to remove braces.
2. Use three braces per bay for heights greater than 48.” The space between braces should be at least 12.”
3. Internal braces should be placed in different rows than perimeter bracing to increase stability.
B. Diagonal Bracing
1. Brace each corner and every third bay along each side. Attach diagonal braces using 3/8” x 2-1/2” hex
bolts and wing nuts. Double brace stages when height exceeds 48.”
2. When using double diagonal bracing, at least one of the braces should span the connection between the
1-1/2” and the 1-3/4” telescoping sleeve.
WARNING
Always consult the BilJax Application Department for proper bracing
requirements when stage height exceeds 5’6”. (1.800.537.0540)

Step 9 Guard Rails
Each guard rail section has two T-Locks to secure the guard rail to the Multi-Stage. To install guard
rail:
A. Set the lower lip of the guard rail lock inside the C-Channel along the perimeter of the Multi-
Stage.
B. Swing the guard rail up until the T-Lock is fully seated within the C-Channel of the stage. Press
down on plunger if necessary to seat T-Lock.
C. Tighten the hex nut on each lock to 50 ft-lb.
D. To remove guard rail, loosen hex nut and depress plunger to release T-Lock.
WARNING
Failure to correctly install guard rails could result in serious injury or
death. Verify that each T-Lock is fully seated inside the Multi-Stage,
as shown in Figure B, and guard rail is secure. T-Lock will click
audibly when it is installed.
Section 1012 of the International
Building Code and Section 1008.5.7
of the Uniform Building Code require
the use of guard rails with vertical
posts no greater than 4” apart when
the stage height exceeds 30.”
6
Step 10 Stairs
Each set of stairs requires a T-Lock adapter to secure the stairs to the Multi-Stage. To begin, attach the T-Lock adapter to
the stair assembly using the bolts provided.
To install stairs:
A. Set the lower lip of the lock inside the C-Channel along the perimeter of the Multi-Stage.
B. Swing the stairs assembly up until the T-Lock is fully seated within the C-Channel of the stage. Press down on
plunger if necessary to seat T-Lock.
C. Extend the stairs section so that the end opposite the stage is touching the ground.
D. Fully tighten the wing nut attached to the banana clip on each side of the stairs.
E. Tighten the hex nut attached to each T-Lock to 50 ft-lb.
F. Install handrails.
G. To remove stairs section, loosen the wing nut attached to the banana clip, loosen the hex nut and depress
plunger to release T-Lock.
WARNING
Failure to correctly install stairs could result in serious injury or
death. Verify that each T-Lock is fully seated inside the Multi-Stage,
as shown in Figure B, and stair section is secure. T-Lock will click
audibly when it is installed.
