1. Open hardware kits and sort hardware
into "like" groups using hardware
identifier provided in this manual.
2. Attach two wooden leg panels #2 (be
sure wood grain faces out) to the
inside of two leg facades #1 using six
screws #33, six washers #35 and six
locknuts #34 per leg panel. Make sure
that dimension B is at the bottom of the
leg panel. (See Figure 1)
NOTE: Leave all four bottom screws
#33 loose until the leg post #3 is
installed. Leg post #3 CANNOT be
attached if the four bottom screws
#33 are tight. Tighten finger tight
only.
3. Repeat step 2 to put together other leg
assembly.
4. Attach leg posts #3 to the inside
face of metal leg facades #1 on
both leg assemblies (from steps 2
& 3). Use two carriage bolts #30,
two washers #22 and two locknuts
#21 per leg post.
NOTE: There is a set of holes at
one end of the leg posts that are
grouped close together. Make sure
that these holes go to the top of the
wooden posts. About 1/8 inch of
leg posts #3 will extend below the
metal facade #1. (Figure 2)
5. Once the leg post is securely fastened, tighten the four bottom
screws #33 on the leg panels.
This set of holes grouped close
together goes toward the top.

CAUTION:
These holes are for ball return

6. Before starting this part of the assembly, orient
beams #4 with ball return attachment holes at
the same end of the table and the holes marked
by arrows in figure 3 facing up.
7. Attach wooden beams #4 to the leg assemblies
(that you just put together). Use two long bolts
#27, two short bolts #40, six washers #23 and
four locknuts #26 as shown. Repeat for other
beam #4.
NOTE: The two longer bolts #27 go through
top and bottom mounting holes in beam #4,
metal facade #1 and leg post #3. These bolts
require a washer between the bolt and beam
#4 as well as between leg post #3 and the
locknut.
NOTE: The two shorter bolts #40 go through
the other two mounting holes in beam #4 and
metal facade #1. They only require a washer
between the bolt and beam #4.

NOTE: Screwheads must

the slats #5 and #6.
8. Place slats #5 and #6 across beams #4 as shown
in figure 4. 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).

9. 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 4 and Detail A).
Start screws #24 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.
10.Square up long slats #6 by measuring diagonally
as shown in figure 5. 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.
12. Determine the highest corner of the frame by placing
the level in following two ways:
n Check frame from end to end as shown in figure 6.
n Then check the table diagonally as shown in fig. 7.
Figure 6
13. Once you have determined the highest corner,
raise other three corners by shimming. To do
this place one shim at a time under the lower
corners until the table is level. Leg shim stock
is provided in the slatron bed kit and must be
cut to the desired size. Shims must be placed
directly under leg post.
