*NOTE for customer supplied infill material:
Infill material thickness is limited to the range between
1/16" and 5/32".
The infill material must weigh less than or equal to
1.00 lbs. per square foot. For example, a 4' x 8' sheet of
infill material must be less than or equal to 32.0 lbs.
The Underwriters Laboratories flammability requirements in
the United States (when tested per ASTM E-84 for Surface
Flammability) must achieve a flame spread index of less
than 200 (less than or equal to 138 in Canada) and smoke
developed index of less than 450 (or be labeled per UL
requirements if smoke exceeds 450).
NOTE: Glass (or other breakable material) or material with
sharp edges would not be appropriate infill materials.

1. Remove the base extrusion and the bow handles. Lay the tube
frame assembly down on a clean protective area (1a). Remove
two (2) self-tapping flat head screws (1b). Slide base extrusion off
single and dual end bases (1c). Flex bow handle out of bow
connector (1d). Repeat for the remaining bow handle.
2. Insert infill. Orient the infill material to match the offset in the tube
frame (2a). Slide the infill material into the top support clips until pins
snap into holes (2b). Flex the tube frame out to allow bow connectors
to slide on edge of infill material (2c).
