Assembly Procedure
1. Before removing the base unit from the pallet, remove
the tongue and front leg assembly from the pallet and
fold the leg down and lock it into position with the
spring pin. Install the tongue and front leg assembly
onto the base using Two 1/2-13 x 3-1/2 inch long hex
head bolts and Locknuts (Figure 5). Tighten the
Locknuts securely. Pull the spring pin to fold the leg
back in the up position. Roll the tongue/base unit off
the pallet. Lower the front leg and lock it into position
with the spring pin.
Note: Make sure that the mounting holes on the Tongue and Front
Leg Assembly are closer to the top when assembling so that the Top
of the Tongue and Front Leg Assembly is Flush with the Top of Base
Unit Bracket.
2. With a helper, carefully push the rail assembly off the
pallet and stand it in an upright, vertical position with
the base plate down (Figure 6).
