3. To make assembly easier, use the Hardware Identifier on page 11 to identify and sort all
fasteners. Check all cartons for kits. All hardware may not be located in one kit.
4. Do not tighten hardware until instructed to do so. If hardware is tightened too soon, mounting
holes may not align and parts may not easily fit together. Leave locknuts slightly loose until you are

3. Put plastic caps #13 on the end of U-leg #2.
CA UTIO N:
WHEN ASSEMBLING TABLE, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE UCLIPS (#3) BE TURNED AS SHOWN HERE. IF U-CLIPS ARE TURNED
INCORRECTLY, YOU WILL DO IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO YOUR TABLE
