Step #1
Place the Carriage Base (wheels upward)
and Platform Base (Smooth flat top upward)
on a hard flat surface. Place both bases back to
back so the pivot tab holes align with each other.
Position the Platform Back/Flap at a 90˚ angle.
The Back/Flap should have the smooth flat
surface facing the smooth flat surface of
the platform base. Align the pivot tabs/holes with
Back/Flap/Carriage/Platform. The Back/Flap will
overlap both carriage and platform base tabs.
Step #2
Insert 5/16” x 2” Bolt through all three
tab holes (Back/Flap, Carriage and Platform
bases). Tighten nylock nut with the bolt; not
