7. Assembly Instructions

Important: Read and understand all the safety
instructions listed in this manual before attempting
to assemble this product.

Important: Ensure all bolts are only FINGER TIGHT until

assembly is complete. Then tighten all xtures securely.

7.1 Assemble the Legs

The legs are assembled prior to shipment.

Important: When the workbench is fully assembled,
the folding braces should be on the outside of the frame,
with the diagonal braces on the inside.

Attach a foot (H) to the base of each leg so that the

longest edges are on the outside corners.

through a 15mm washer (L) and top frame bracket

around the leg and secure each in place with another

15mm washer and a 13mm nylon-insert lock nut (N).

3. Repeat these steps for the other leg assembly,

ensuring that the crank handle is positioned over
the front leg.

7.3 Attach the Crossbars

(A)

3 Fig.

1. Insert the cross members (C) between the two legs

assemblies and align the holes.

through each of the crossbar brackets around the
legs and secure each in place with an 11mm

washer (M) and a 10mm nylon-insert lock nut (O).
