Carefully unpack the unit and inspect it for any damage.

Check the parts against the attached parts list before starting any assembly. Refer to draw­ing SK1247 for exploded view of base.

Assemble drop shelf assembly (#2) to body (#1) using (4) 1/4"-20 x 3/8" machine screws
(#3a), (4) 1/4" lockwashers (#3c) and (4) 1/4-20 acorn nuts (#3b). Adjustment can be made
left or right and up or down before nuts are fully tightened.

INSTALLATION OF MACHINE TO BASE

PREPARATION

Remove kettle from popcorn machine and set it aside out of the way.

Carefully lay the popcorn machine down on its back or sides, on a smooth, fl at surface.

NOTE: You may want an assistant for this step.

CAUTION

DO NOT LAY THE POPCORN UNIT ON THE DOORS OR ON AN OBSTRUCTED
OR UNEVEN SURFACE AS GLASS BREAKAGE MAY OCCUR.

Remove the (4) rubber plugs from the phenolic feet. Using a phillips screwdriver, remove (1)
screw from each foot and replace it with a 10-24x2" collared stud (#3d) in the same position
(see SK1247).

NOTE: Approximately 3/8" of thread will protrude from the bottom of each foot.

INSTALLATION

Using an assistant, raise the popper to its upright position. Use caution not to bend or dam­age the threaded studs.

Move base close to the popper with the open shelves facing in the same direction as the
doors on the popper.

Place the sleeve bushing (#3g) into the black plastic bushing on the top panel of the base.

Lace cord set through the sleeve and bushing from top to bottom as far as it will go.

With your assistant's help, carefully pick up the popcorn machine from the bottom. DO NOT
pick up the machine by grasping the doors, top or other "convenient" hand holds. NON
STRUCTURAL PARTS MAY BE DAMAGED. Place the popcorn machine on the base with
the (4) studs near the mounting holes in the top plate of the base. Be careful not to pinch
your hand or fi ngers between the two units.

NOTE: Placing the popper slightly askew (catty corner) will provide clearance for your
hands.

Carefully slide the popper into position on the base until the (4) studs drop through the
mounting holes in the top plate. Do not allow the popper to drop too heavily, try to ease it
into position one stud at a time. KEEP FINGERS CLEAR.

Place (1) fl atwasher (#3f) and (1) 10-24 acorn nut (#3e) on each stud protruding through the
top plate of the base and tighten.

Replace the kettle assembly, plug in the unit and check for proper operation.

This completes the installation procedure. Occasionally check the mounting nuts since
movement may cause them to loosen. Re-tighten as necessary.
