Place a 3/8-16 hex nut on each leveling foot and insert leveling feet into the bottom of the legs. Cap with remaining 3/8-16 hex nuts but only finger tighten. See Figure 9A.

Place a short upper brace inside two of the legs (wide end of legs up) and align the three holes in the brace with the holes in the legs.

Insert the screws. Add the star washers and 1/4-20 hex nuts. Finger tighten.

Install a short lower brace on the legs. See Figure 9A.

Repeat for the other end assembly.

Connect the leg sets with a long upper brace. Add the hardware and finger tighten. Repeat for the other side brace, then install the long lower braces. See Figure 9B.

Tighten all screws, washers, and nuts with a 7/16 in. wrench and as needed a #2 phillips screwdriver.

Move the leg stand to the desired location. Using a level, adjust the leveling feet by raising or lowering the bolts with a 9/16 in. wrench.
