8.Remove the shelf, then pre-drill holes for the mounting hardware you have chosen.

Unless you intend to do so, take care to avoid drilling all the way through the shelf.

9.Place your shelf back onto the shelf brackets, taking care to line up the holes you drilled in the previous step with the holes in the shelf brackets.

10.Use your chosen hardware to secure the shelf to the shelf brackets.

11.Install cross-bracing to provide additional stabilization between the legs, or between the legs and bench top. Two possible methods are shown in Figures 6–7

Failure to properly cross-brace the Model SB1354 will result in a significantly reduced maximum weight capacity and could cause the bench to collapse under heavy vertical or lateral loading. Collapse can result in crushing injuries and/or property damage.

Leveling

Though leveling is not required, the Model SB1354 legs have 3⁄8"-16 pitch threaded holes at the base to allow for the installation of leveling feet.

Securing to Concrete Floors

DO NOT use impact tools to secure the legs to the floor. The impact associated with these tools could crack the cast iron. Tighten all floor mounting hardware by hand.

Though securing the bench to the floor is not required, the holes at the base of the legs can be used for this purpose (to avoid interference with the existing threads, use 5⁄16" or smaller hardware). Before securing the bench to the floor, use a precision level to check the bench for level in all directions. Place shims under the legs as necessary until the bench is level and all four feet are planted firmly on the floor. Then, use mounting hardware to mount the bench to the floor.

Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs
