Click on any picture to enlarge
Here's
How it Works...
To open
and assemble the underpinner you will need a
screwdriver, a hammer, a 19mm wrench, a 13mm wrench, and
a utility knife.
There
are 8 latches around the top of the box. To release them
you will need a screw driver. Start by inserting the
screwdriver into the opening on the latch.
Push on
the handle of the screwdriver to lift the latch to a
horizontal position.
Now once
again insert the screwdriver into the opening, but this time insert it
from the bottom up and then bend the latch up to a vertical position.
Repeat the
process on all 8 latches. This should release the top of the crate. You
may need to use a hammer to hit the edges of the lid to prop it open.
On the
bottom of the crate you will find 2 bolts.
Use a 19mm
wrench to unscrew and remove both bolts.
Now
carefully grab the underpinner and lift it out of the crate.
WARNING: underpinner weights 20kg. (about 44
lbs.)
Remove the
plastic and the package wrapped in it.
Using a
utility knife carefully cut and remove the plastic from the package
Now lift
top portion of the underpinner...
until it
lines up with the openings on the leg support.
Insert a
screw on each opening...
and tighten
them up using the provided allen key and a 13mm wrench.
Under the
underpinner you will find a wood block that serves as a stop. To remove
it you have to press down on the tube on top of the underpinner...
...and
while still pressing down very carefully remove the wood
block from underneath using your other hand.
Ps. this may require the help of a second person.
Now remove
the 4 screws on top of the underpinner and put them aside.
Lift the
"table"...
... turn it
180 degrees and place it back down.
Align the
top part with the screw openings on the red casing and place the 4
screws you removed earlier back in place.
On the
bottom end of the leg remove the bolt and then place the end of the foot
pedal aligned with the openings.
Replace the
bolt back in place...
... and
using the proper size allen key provided and a 13mm wrench tighten the
bolt.
Farther
down on the pedal you will see another bolt going across the bars.
Remove the
nut on the end...
... and
place the "hoop" on the end of the cable around the bolt, and replace
the nut back in place.
Here is how
your underpinner should look right now.
Lay the
underpinner on its back on the floor and screw the 4 feet in place.
Put the
underpinner back in an upright position. If it is not leveled with the
ground you will easily be able to adjust the feet by screwing or
screwing the feet until the underpinner is flush to the ground. You will
want a distance of about 50mm between the feet support and the ground.
Now place
the 2 bars provided along each side of the top of the underpinner so
they align with the screw openings on the red casing.
Now place
the extension table in place. and place the 4 screws provided in place.
And lastly
slide the triangular plastic piece to the end of the presser bracket.
