Assembly

First, check that the plinth is the correct one and is in a position near to its’ final posistion. The plinth should not be moved once assembled.

• Now, remove the blue straps and wind up for storage. Wind with the fluffy side INWARDS, there is a small velcro disc which holds the wound strap.

• Remove the pallet lid and put to one side.

• Lift each of the 4 wooded sides out of the box, by the foam sheets.

• Remove the Aluminium legs

• Remove the pallet collar

• Now, remove the black bag from the remaining plinth base.

• Next, unfold the aluminium legs by pulling on opposite corners. Place these in the correct position for the plinth.

• Now, either lift (2 people MINIMUM required) the plinth onto the Aluminium legs.

  • Or, using a materials lift such as a Genie GL8, slide the base onto the materials lift.

  • Raise the materials lift to height and drive over the legs.

  • Lower base onto the legs.

• Attach power cable and plug in. Note that you CANNOT reach the cable connection once in place, so test at this point.

• Next, add the sides.

  • Move one of the longer sides into position. The foam edge should face DOWN and the side with brick outlines should be OUTSIDE.

  • Move one of the shorter sides into position. Move the extended lugs into the matching holes on the edge of the longer side

  • Insert the allen key into the small holes in the outward face of the side. Rotate 1/2 turn CLOCKWISE. These connections are easy to strip, so take care at this point.

  • Repeat for all sides.

• Now, put the pallet collar back onto the pallet base

  • IMPORTANT - Add foam and bag to the pallet box for storage.

  • Finally, add the 2 blue straps. Wrap the straps with the fluffy side OUTWARD. Pass the end of the strap through the metal buckle and tighted back on itself.
