STEP l: UNLOAD/UNPACK PRODUCT
Always check for damaged parts as the product is removed from the shipper's truck. Damage to any
items should be reported to the shipping company before signing for the receipt of the product. It may be
necessary to remove planks from the truck one plank at a time. Additionally, a forklift would be useful
for additional boxes and other heavy packaging (Bleacher Frames,
etc.).
Depending on the bleacher style and number of bleachers shipped, packaging will vary to provide the
best shipping rate possible. All like parts and pre-assemblies are inter-changeable and may be package
together for best packaging solutions. Only the total count as provided on the attached packing list is
required for complete assembly of your bleacher(s). Prior to assembly make sure all
bleacher
components are on hand.
STEP 2: BASIC
ASSEMBLY RULES
Following are basic rules that must be followed in order to properly assemble your bleachers.
Rule 1: All fasteners must be Grade 5 or equivalent. Grade 5 fasteners can be identified by 3
opposing
marks on the head of the fastener.
Rule 2: Always use a split lock washer on the nut side of each
fastener.
Rule 3: Do all assembly on a level surface. If floor damage is a concern, use
protective
covering/plywood or other protective materials under your work area.
Rule 4: Generally, do not tighten fasteners until all associated parts are in place and squared to each
other. After each phase of assembly is completed, make sure all fasteners are then tightened.
Rule 5: Constantly check squareness of assembly as work
progresses.
STEP 3: FRAME
ASSEMBLY
Attach the rubber foot pads to the bottom of each frame. Insert (2) provided #10 x 1” p hillips machine
screws from the bottom side of the rubber foot pad up through the frame. Make sure the machine
screw
head is recessed into the rubber foot pad so as to prevent floor damage. Use the provided #10 flat
washer, lock washer and hex nut hardware on top of the frame to secure each machine screw.

STEP 4: WHEEL ATTACHMENT
All tip n roll bleachers are designed for the attachment of caster to the back of the riser frame. You
should have received a total of (4) caster/wheel assembly for each tip n roll bleacher you
purchased.
Wheels are only attached to the riser frames at each end of the finished bleacher assembly. Using (4)
5/16"x 1" machine screw, (4) 5/16" lock washer and (4) 5/16" hex nut attach two caster/wheel assembly
to each end bleacher riser as shown.
STEP 5: ATTACH CROSS
BRACES
Space frames at 72" intervals (center to center). Attach the horizontal and cross braces using the
provided hardware (3/8"x 1 1/4" hex bolts). Bolts should be inserted from the back side of the bracing
toward the front Use the appropriate hardware (3/8'' lock washer & 3/8'' hex nut) to secure the bolt on
the front side. NOTE: Diagonal cross braces are made from flat steel. Horizontal brace has a
bent
angle lip with an arrow cut into it indicating top
side.
WARNING!!! -TO AVOID FLOOR DAMAGE, BE CERTAIN TO BOLT HORIZONTAL
BRACE WITH ARROW POINTING UP!

(Cross Brace & Horizontal Brace Detail cont'd )
STEP 6: SEAT PLANK/FOOT PLANK
ATTACHMENT
DOUBLE CHECK THE SQUARENESS OF EACH RISER BEFORE PROCEEDING. RISERS
SHOULD BE 72" APART FRONT TO BACK. CHECK & RECHECK THROUGHOUT THIS STEP.
Position each seat plank onto the top of each seat support bracket. Adjust the position of each plank so
it is positioned in the center of the bracket and so the plank extends beyond the center of each support
frame the same at each end of the bleacher. Attach each seat plank to the seat support brackets using the
provided pressure clamps and provided hardware (3/8"x2" carriage bolt). Use two clamps per plank
attachment location. Make sure both sides of each pressure clamp lock down and over each plank rib.
Use a 3/8" hex nut and lock washer to secure the carriage bolt.

(Plank attachment cont'd)
If you are using a single foot plank use the center holes on the horizontal portion of the support riser. If
using a double foot plank use the outermost holes in the horizontal portion of the support riser to connect
foot planks. Adjust the foot planks to align with the ends of the seat planks. Use the same pressure
clamps and hardware as used on the seat planks to secure foot planks.
STEP 7: CHECK FOR LOOSE BOLTS AND
SCREWS
The bleacher should now be fully assembled. Go back and recheck to make sure all bolts and screws are
tight. Loose hardware is a hazard! Although this bleacher system requires very little maintenance,
from time to time check the general condition of the bleacher. Pay close attention to welded areas and
loose bolts.
