You will require one Adjustable wrench and one Rubber Mallet to perform the assembly procedure
of this apparatus.
The Beam Legs and Beam Top are heavy and can be difficult to balance if not held
properly while handling. Two (2) qualified persons are required when assembling
this apparatus.
1. Fully open the shipping crate containing the Beam Top.
2. Turn the Beam Top upside down on a clean surface (see Fig.1). This will
help protect the Beam Top from being soiled or damaged during assembly.
Remove the Backing Plates and Hardware supplied from the crate.
3. Remove the Low Legs from their shipping carton. Work with one Low
Leg at a time.
4. Slide the Backing Plate in the channel in the bottom of the Beam Top
(see Fig. 1).

Low Legs can be positioned anywhere along the length of the Beam Top simply by
sliding the Low Leg to the desired location. HOWEVER, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT
