Turn the base assembly over or right side up. (Flanges are now up.)
Set the base in position on your deck, concrete pad, or patio for anchoring. To level, set a level on the top flange of a front/back base panel. Hold the mounting plate up and use a 5/8 inch wrench to turn the hex head of the leveling bolts until level. Figure 4.
