Assembly
Fit Leg Set 1 – Opposite from Home End
Identify the home end of the Y Bench
by looking for the Home Icon.
At the opposite end of the bench, fit Leg Set 1
by first unfolding the legs.
Lift the Y Bench to accept the location pins of
the Leg Set. Slide the leg clamp pins into the
slots in the Y Bench end plate.
Push the clamp handles down to the Y Bench
end plate to tighten. They are designed to not
sit perfectly flat to give room to unclamp.

Fit the Lower X Beam
Unfold the home Leg Set. Lift the Y Bench at
the home end.
Use the leg set to support the Y bench. This
should be just past the first crossbeam.
To fit the Lower X Beam, offer up the beam
ensuring the home labels are aligned.
Ensuring the wheels align with the channels,
push Lower X Beam onto the Y Bench.
You should feel some preload on the wheels
as they pop into place.
Push the Lower X Beam onto the Y Bench. The
assembly should look like this.

the Leg Set. Slide the leg clamp pins into the
slots in the Y Bench end plate.
Use the clamp handles to attach the bench to
the legs

Attach the Upper X Beam
Slide the Upper X Beam onto the Lower X
Beam as shown above.
Secure in place by tightening the clamps on
each end of the beam.
The forks on the end of the Upper X Beam
should slide on the skids of the Lower X
Beam.
Slide the cables by the drag chain latch plate
so that they are laid flat and extend from the
end of the Upper X Beam

SMARTBENCH V1.3 – STANDARD, PRECISION AND PRECISIONPRO
Fit the Z Head
To Fit the Z Head, offer up the Z Head
ensuring the extraction elbow is facing
towards you.
Load the Z Head by inserting the wheels
into the channels until the Z Head holds
onto the beam. This should be just passed
the first wheel.
Place the drag chain latch plate over the
rectangular face on the side of the Z Head
bottom plate ensuring the signal cable
seats into the recess.
Secure this in place with the thumbscrew
provided.
Plug in the signal cable and secure it with
the thumbscrew.
Place the drag chain latch plate over the
protruding face on the side of the Z Head.

You can now push the Z Head onto the
Upper X Beam until all wheels are
engaged. If you do not push the Z-Head
further onto the Upper beam the motors
will not be engaged with the rack.
Fit the dust shoe plug into the front of the
dust shoe. This can be made easier when
it is over the bench so you have a flat
surface as a base.

Fit the Console
The Console attaches to the end of the Upper
X Beam by locating the 2 forks into the end
plate. Ensure the forks are inserted fully.
Plug the console cable into the XLR
connector as shown above.
The safety bond is to loop through the end
plate on the lower beam.
This attaches to the console mounting
bracket using the carabiner.
Note: We include a safety bond for the console in the box. This is not mandatory,
however YetiTool Ltd will not be held responsible for any console breakages.

Fit the Link Cable
The link connector connects to the socket on
the underside of the Lower X Beam.
Plug the cable into the connector and rotate
the cuff clockwise to secure it.
Fit the Extractor
SmartBench has a dedicated power outlet for extractors, to automatically switch
your extraction on or off, but the extractor must not draw more than 13 amps. If
the extractor draws more than 13 amps, the extractor must be powered from a
separate power outlet and operated manually.
Attach the extraction hose to the underside of
the Lower X Beam
Attach the extraction hose to the Z Head by
inserting the connector into the elbow and
rotating clockwise.

the machine clear to prevent any catches with
the cables.
