1. Put the baseplate on a support above the foundation/floor.
Make sure that there is enough space between the baseplate and the foundation/floor in order to
install the spring assemblies.
2. Install the lower part of the spring assembly:
a) Screw the lower jam nut onto the spring stud.
b) Screw the lower adjusting nut onto the spring-stud, on top of the jam nut.
c) Set the lower adjusting nut to the correct height.
The correct height depends on the required distance between the foundation/floor and the
baseplate.
d) Put a washer, a follower, a spring, and one more follower onto the lower adjusting nut.
3. Install the spring assembly on the baseplate:
a) Insert the spring assembly into the baseplate's anchorage hole from below.
b) Put a follower, a spring, another follower, and a washer onto the spring stud.
c) Fasten the spring assembly with the upper adjusting nut by hand.
4. Thread the upper jam nut onto the spring stud by hand.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for all the spring assemblies.
6. Lower the baseplate so that the spring assemblies fit into the foundation pads.
7. Level the baseplate and make the final height adjustments:
a) Loosen the upper jam nuts and adjusting nuts.
b) Adjust the height and level the baseplate by moving the lower adjusting nuts.
c) When the baseplate is level, tighten the top adjusting nuts so that the top springs are not loose in
their followers.
