Set Up
1. From new: Remove frame from box, noting this
is in its original folded position.
2. Grasp frame in center with one hand. Holding
the frame parallel to the ground, quickly release the
bottom half of the frame so it swings downward and
the spring clips are engaged into their locking holes.
The frame should be locked rigid at this point. If not,
apply light pressure to the spring clips to engage
them into the locking holes.
3. Unscrew the stainless steel wing nuts from the
four tube receivers.
4. Insert the two shorter 16” legs into the receivers
at the exiting end next to the tabs and tighten
wing nuts.
5. Insert the two longer 20” legs into the opposite end
next to the snap clips and tighten wing nuts.
6. The holes at the base of the legs are
intended to secure the frame to plywood for
extended use.
7. Insert your 24” or 30” sluice box in the center
of the frame.
8. Pick up the carpet slightly and slide sluice the
under tabs. This holds the sluice box from
sliding off the end.
9. Lift up the snap clips until they snap securely
onto the top of the sluice box.
Operating Sluice Instructions
1. Refer to the Operating Instructions provided
with your sluice box
Storage
1. Unlatch the frame by grasping both clips with
your thumbs at the same time and pull outward.
2. Ensure the frame is in its original folded position.
If the snap clips collide together, your frame is
in the wrong position. To put the frame in the
correct position, rotate the frame 360° in the
opposite direction until the tubes are parallel.
Helpful Hints
This folding frame was designed to enable us to ship
the frame more cost effectively, but is not necessary
to re-fold it.
