Use level and check the frame is level before applying oor panels.
Check for frame squareness by measuring diagonally across corners.
If the measurements are the same, the frame is square.
The diagonal measurement will be approximately 151-9/16" (385 cm).
When the frame is level and square secure one side of frame to the 4x4 runners using one fastener at
ends of each runner.
Move to the opposite end of the frame.
Secure the frame to 4x4 runners with one fastener at ends of each runner making sure
the frame remains square (Fig. A).
Once the oor frame is level and square, fasten the frame to the 4x4 runners
wherever the frame contacts the 4x4 runners.
See page 7 for the preferred oor leveling method.
First, secure at ends with one fastener.
Second, secure at ends with one fastener.
