Allow the lid to rest partially open once the unit is on
its back.
Remove and discard the 2 shipping brackets and bolts
from the bottom of the unit by removing the 4 bolts
holding them to the base. Also remove and discard the
4 bolts above these (fig 2A).Attach the two right legs

of the base using (4) 1/4” x 1-3/4” bolts. Ensure that the
sides with the 2 small holes, about 6 inches from each
end, are facing inwards. Tighten the bolts only finger tight
