STEP 3
Place the butterfly leaf in the center of the open table top, as shown below.
Note: The metal swivel bar bracket is very flexible and a slight twist of one half of the leaf can get the
leaf into alignment. With one of these tops opened and in the topside up position and can be
attached to the base to accomplish this too.
Have the top fully extended first, pull the leaf operation out, and with one leaf end down and other in
the upward position, grasp the sides of the leaf w/ two hands and twist slightly (the metal bracket is
flexible) so to shift the alignment of the leaf and then lower it into place being careful not to let the
metal pins hit the edges of top or the leaf apron end, but repeat if necessary so to get the pins to align.
We use the flexible metal bar for this purpose, as a hardened metal would snap during transport or
damage the under structure.
