socket head cap screws and four (4) flat head
cap screws from the small shipping carton.

Base Leg Assembly (Cont.)

Align the holes in the leg flange with the
matching holes in the lower column support
post. Secure the leg with one FLAT HEAD
cap screw through the upper hole, and one
SOCKET HEAD cap screw through the bot­tom hole. Repeat this procedure for the three
remaining legs.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

The tensioner assembly is packed and se­cured to the inner carton by two sheets of
wood and four (4) bolts. With the foam pack­ing still in place around the base of the
tensioner assembly, remove the inner carton
and lay it on its side on the floor. Remove the
four (4) shipping bolts from the underside of
the carton with a screw driver. Upright the
carton on the floor and remove the tensioner
assembly. Retain the bolts, wood and car­tons for future shipment.

Foot Installation
CAUTION : To maintain the alignment

between the fiberglass covers and the
frame, it is very important that the feet be
installed before removing the four center
screws that attach the tensioner assem­bly to the upper post flange.

To install the feet, tilt the tensioner back on its
side and screw the four feet into the holes at
the corners of the base.

Stand Upper Post Installation

After installing the four corner feet, remove
the four (4) button head cap screws and flat
washers from the base of the tensioner.
