The four legs have a double
button at one end and a single
button beneath it.
With the hub sides facing up,
place the motor housing and
pivot housing on the floor.
Position legs so their single
buttons also face up.
Insert legs into the motor
housing and pivot housing as
shown. The double buttons
must fit into the channels

twisting. If a leg twists and buttons come out of
their holes, insert leg into the housing again. Be
sure to align BOTH double buttons with BOTH sets
of channels inside the housings.
Step 2.
Begin by inserting a screw all
the way into the small hole on
one foot. Position the foot as
