Do not touch !
Lift the frame ends to the desired height and then securely tighten each slide leg fixing bolt, aligning
it with the corresponding notch of the slide leg. Bolt and notch are aligned when the next higher notch
is flush with the upper leg flange. (Refer to step
When a slide leg fixing bolt is tightened in between two notches,
there is a danger of the slide leg slipping. Always make sure
that the slide legs are held securely.
