7.Locate the circular component with the five drilled holes. This component is called the azimuth bearing plate. Identify the side with the four outer countersunk holes like on the other components. The side with the holes countersunk is the underside.

8.Insert the remaining four screws through the azimuth bearing plate from the underside into the corresponding pre-drilled holes in the bottom edges of the side panels on the previously assembled "box" as shown in the diagram.

9.Take the assembled "box" and azimuth bearing plate and turn it on its side. Locate the remaining circular component called the bottom plate and the remaining hardware.

10.Take the bottom plate with rubber feet facing out and line it up with the hole in the center of the azimuth bearing plate of the assembled "box"/azimuth bearing plate combination.

11.Insert the Nylon center bearing tube through the hole. Place a flat washer on each side. Insert the Center Bolt from the bottom side and attach the hex nut on the top side. Tighten enough to hold the base together yet loose enough to allow the base to turn easily.
