groups. See hardware identifier in this manual.

2. Place beams #4 with holes marked by arrows in

figure 1 facing up. Assemble wooden beams #4
and the leg assemblies #21 to cross support #1
using two bolts #2, two washers #23 and two
dowel connectors #39 per leg, as shown in figure

1. Start screws #2 in the dowel connec­tors by hand until you are sure threads
are engaged properly. Do not force
them with power tools. Do not
tighten screws completely yet.

Note: Bolts #2 pass through
beam and leg, then into end
of cross support and thread
into dowel connector.

Figure 1

3. Place slats #5 and #6 across beams #4 as shown in

figure 2. Make sure the two shorter slats #5 go on the
ends of the beams and that the two longer slats #6 go
in the center as shown. The side of the slats with the
countersink around each hole faces up. (See
detail A).

4. Insert four dowel connectors #39

into the holes in side of beams #4
just below the slats. Note that the
slot in the end of dowel connec­tors should be vertical. (See Fig­ure 2 and Detail A).

5. Square up long slats #6 by measuring diagonally as

shown in figure 3. Diagonals should be the same
length within 1/8". Check to make sure the table is
square. If frame is not square, the adjustment can be
made by moving table beams #4 in opposite direc­tions. Usually only a slight adjustment if any should
be required.

LEVELING BASE FRAME

Use a carpenter's level to level table as close as possible. It is easier to do it now rather than after the playfield has
been attached to the frame.

6. Once frame is square, tighten screws #24 holding
slats to beams. Be sure the heads of screws #24

are flush with or below the top of the slats. See
figure 2.

Figure 3

7. Determine the highest corner of the frame by placing

the level in following two ways:

! Check frame from end to end as shown figure 4.
! Then check the table diagonally as shown figure 5.

Figure 4

8. Once you have determined the highest corner, raise

other three corners by turning leveling foot clockwise.

they have been placed on the table frame and securely
fastened down, they will become straight and flat.
