modified Flexibility Tester (12-1085) Assembly
Step 1 - Box Assembly
Assemble box using using the top (TP), bottom (BP), sides (SP), foot plate (FP), and 8 5/8”
slotted screws and wing nuts.
Begin with the BP on the floor. Line the FP (groove side up) holes with the holes on the front
of the BP. Line both SPs with the holes on the BP. The SPs should be positioned inside the
lips of the FP, TP, and BP. Insert each of the bottom screws from the outside and tighten each
of the wing nuts on the inside.* Position the TP on the top, with the Baseline logo facing right.
The lips should cover the SPs and FP. Insert the screws from the outside and tighten each
of the wing nuts on the inside.*
*A screw driver may be needed to an-
chor screw while tightening wing nuts.
Step 2 - Slider Assembly
Insert the channel mount screws (D)
through the holes on the finger plate (B)
as shown in FIGURE 3 and put one
teflon spacer (F) through each screw
(D). Place the screws into the channel
on the Top Plate (TP). Insert another
spacer (F) into each screw under the Top Plate (TP). followed by a spring (E) and then a
wing-nuts (A). (See Figures 3 and 4). Hand-tighten wing-nut.
Adjust tension as needed by tightening /loosening the wing-nuts. The slide device provides
adjustable levels of friction.
Step 3 - Sliding Top Channel
Place the sliding channel in the Top Plate groove with the scales readable from the foot
plate. Make sure 4 holes for stopper are on the side closer to the back of the unit. Thread
the channel mount screws into the side holes on the top plate (TP) with the threaded part of
the screw pointing into the channel and tighten. These screws hold the Sliding Top Channel
onto the top plate (TP).
Step 4 - Locking the Sliding Top Channel into place
Mount the stopper* (G) to the Top Plate (TP) on the holes provided. This stopper is used with
the modified flexibility tester to hold the Sliding Top Channel at one location.
*The nuts on the stopper may have to be adjusted for stopper to touch sliding top channel.
Use the “Hitch-Pin” to Perform Standard Test on Modified Tester
Align the sliding top channel and top plate so that the hole (around number 18)
on the sliding channel is on top of the hole on the Top Plate (TP) groove. Put
the hitch-pin through both holes and latch closed. The hitch-pin may be stored on the hole
on the back-side of the unit.
