A.1.3 Parts of Floor Stand Take all parts out of the box and place them as shown below and check for possible damages. Picture 5: Floor stand components The numbers in the picture above correspond to the numbers in the technical drawing. Setup and Assembly Manual Page 17...
Assembling the Floor Stand Start with the foot profile (component #3), the side pillar (component #2), and the traverse (component #1). Note: The three boreholes on the vertical leg (part #2) that are only on one side must face to the inner side of the floor stand. They should also be in the upper part of the leg.
Fasten the three components with two screws ISO 4016 – M8x50x22-WS. Place a washer on each screw. Picture 8: Inserting screws with washer Tighten the screws with the combination wrench, size 13, which comes with the floor stand. Note: All screws should only be hand-tightened at first. The components should have a little play until all parts are assembled.
Place the top brackets on the vertical legs. The oval cut-out must face to the inner side. Picture 10: Top bracket on vertical leg Insert the second traverse between the side legs. Picture 11: Upper traverse inserted Assemble the traverse, the top brackets and the legs with two ISO 4016 – M8x50x22-WS screws and a washer on each side.
