Slide the vertical square
tubing onto base, and make
a mark at the desired arm
height. Cut tubing on line
with a metal chop-saw or
band-saw. (Figure 2)

Hold the 2 90° plates on the
(Figure 3)
vertical square tubing. Insert 4
bolts into the 2 90° plates and
only hand tighten. (Figure 3)
When finished, make sure this
bolt is still above the vertical
square tubing. (Figure 3)
