3. Remove the corners from the workbench top. The bolt holes should be visible.
4. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

Install Legs and Back Panel

NOTE: Assemble and adjust this workbench upside down according to the illustrations. Be sure that the workbench top is flat on the floor and the legs are in the air.

Outer Leg and Back Panel Installation

1. Place each set of outer legs (P1) on the workbench underside and match the holes.
2. Attach the legs (P1) to the workbench top (P4) using the 8 screws (F16). Make sure that the screws are inserted straight into the holes. Install the screws using a 316 " socket wrench, but do not tighten screws completely.
   ■ Tightening the screws (F16) at an angle can place excessive stress on the screws, which may cause the screws to fail.
   ■ The holes in the legs are oval to allow space for minor adjustments as the workbench is assembled.

NOTES:

1. Attach the back panel (P3) to the outer legs using the 4 bolts (F14) and lock washers (F20) provided. Do not tighten the bolts completely at this time.

1. Attach the back panel (P3) to the workbench top (P4) using the remaining screws (F16). Make sure that the screws are inserted straight into the holes. Tighten the screws using a 916 " socket wrench.

NOTE: Tightening the screws (F16) at an angle can place excessive stress on the screws, which may cause the screws to fail.

1. Using a 716 " wrench, tighten the bolts attaching the back panel (P3) to the outer legs (P1) completely. NOTE: Do not overtighten the bolts and screws.

2. Tighten all remaining bolts and screws. NOTE: Do not overtighten the bolts and screws.

Inner Leg Installation

1. Insert one of the plastic spacers (P5) into the outer leg (P1) as shown.

Insert another spacer (P5) into the outer leg (P1) as shown.

The buttons/tabs in the spacers (P5) should nest inside the holes provided in the outer leg (P1) as shown. Repeat for each leg.

1. Insert one of the inner legs (P2) into the outer leg (P1) as shown.

1. Align the adjustment holes in the inner leg (P2) with the adjustment holes in outer leg assembly at the desired height of the workbench.

2. Insert a hex-head bolt (F18) and washer (F19), and secure with a wing nut (F17). Be sure the hex-head bolt aligns with the hex-shaped adjustment hole correctly. Repeat for each leg. NOTE: To minimize multiple adjustments during assembly, make sure the adjustment holes are aligned at the desired height for all the legs.

1. Screw in the leveling legs (P6). The leveling legs (P6) have a flat side designed for use with an adjustable wrench, if needed. IMPORTANT: To install the leveling legs (P6), turn clockwise a minimum of 1½" (3.8 cm) (12 full turns). Further adjustment can be made ¾" (1.9 cm) up or down from this position or until the leveling leg cannot be turned any further against the bottom of the inner leg (P2).

NOTE: Before setting workbench upright, verify that the same number of adjustment holes are visible on each leg to ensure that the workbench will be level.
