2. Stand up the legs and bolt on the J channel and the angle as shown. Note that the angle isbelow the J channel. The angle and channel have slots in them for adjustability. Center thebolts on the slots as you assemble and it will make it much easier to adjust the table in futureinstructions. A level can be used on each leg in both directions to be sure they are plum.Before tightening the bolts between the J channel and angle. Use a tape measure to measurediagonally across the frame to check for squareness. Once the same dimension is measured

achieved, the frame is square, and the remaining bolts can be tightened to lock it in place.

5. Remove the end caps of the side tubes to access the nuts in the tubes. Install the tubes asshown. If the holes dont line up, you will need to loosen the frame bolts to allow for anadjustment in the slots. If the frame was assembled with the bolts in the center of the slots, thisshould not be necessary.

6. Install the carriages on the rails. The single wheels with the eccentric adjustment will need tobe removed and reinstalled. Using a 9/16 wrench, adjust the eccentric to take up all of theclearance between the bearings and tubing. Test to be sure the carriages run smoothly. If not,the adjustment should be loosened.

7. Install the gantry on the side carriages. Slide the carriages against the frame to keep themsquare. Center the gantry between the carriages and tighten the (4) bolts to hold it in place.Roll the gantry down to the opposite side of the table. If the gantry binds, the rails are not parallel.To correct this issue, loosen the bolts on the frame on the opposite end of where you installed thegantry. Roll the gantry to the loosened end of the frame, and retighten the bolts on the frame.The gantry will move the frame to the correct dimension.
