IMPORTANT NOTICE

crossbar are properly located and lined up with respect to the field. Proper location
and alignment should be confirmed with each step.
 It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the crossbar is level and the uprights
are plumb.
o All critical holes are to be drilled by the installer in an effort to help
ensure that all components are square, plumb, and level.
o Verify after every drilling operation that affected components are still
square, plumb, and/or level. Correct as necessary.

opened up incrementally to the final size.
