INSTALLING THE ULTRA BASE

1Remove endcap from base support panel

Remove the (2) fasteners that secure the endcap to one end of the base support panel and remove the endcap.

See Fig. 9.

2Attach the Ultra base to base support panel

Open hardware pack B-07.

Place #10 washers on each of the (6) #10-32 x ½” Phillips pan head screws. Insert four of the screws through the slotted holes on the Ultra base and loosely thread a #10-32 hex nut onto each screw. Insert the remaining two screws through the two inside holes located in the middle of the Ultraʼs base and attach hex nuts. Slide the hex nuts on all six screws into the T-slots on the base support panel. The (4) screws/ nuts in the slotted holes slide into the outer T-slots. The (2) screws/nuts inside the Ultraʼs base slide into the inner T- slots. See Fig. 10.

Position the Ultraʼs base on the base support panel as shown in Fig. 11. (Edge of the Ultra base should be about 3 ¼” from the end of the panel.) Use a square to align the Ultra base at 90˚ to the panel and tighten only the four screws installed in the slotted holes. Do not tighten the two screws inside the Ultraʼs base at this time. Replace the base support panel end cap removed earlier.

3Attach base support panel to floating table.

Using the (2) ¼-20 x 1 ½” threaded knobs with washers, attach the base support panel to the floating table as shown in Fig. 12. Visually align the leading edge of the base support panel parallel with the grooves in the top of the floating table and tighten the threaded knobs.
