How to Guide
When the holes are bored and cleaned you are ready to set up the base.
1. Assemble the two angle brackets to the base using the four allen head cap screws.
Finger tighten at this point. (See illustration K)
NOTE: The front of the base is where the support rib is located (See illustration N).
2. Using a small square adjust the front angle bracket so it’s square to the top side edge
of the base. (see illustration K, L and N).
3. While holding the front angle bracket square to the base, tighten all four cap screws.
4. Re-check the front angle bracket again with the square (see illustration L).
5. Firmly clamp or block shim each end of the rigid straight edge into the side rails and against
the floor. Ensure that the center line marks (which are put on to the straight edge earlier) are facing
upward as these are the marks which you must later line up with the center line marks scribed on to the
face of the angle brackets (see illustration I).
ASSEMBLING THE ANGLE BRACKETS TO BASE
The two angles are the same, but the Front Angle Bracket is
the one which is the positioning gauge for each stanchion,
therefore it must be squared with the side edge of the base
prior to tightening. (See illustration K). The Rear Angle
Bracket need not be squared.
Face (A) and (B) must
be square to each other
as shown. A simple 6 in.
square works nicely for this.

Concrete floors and slabs vary greatly in terms
of thickness and type of concrete. You must
create a recess beneath the surface for the anchor which
is then set in the concrete foundation. With this style of
construction the risk associated with under size floor
thickness, cracks and inadequate concrete reinforcement
is greatly reduced.
