Step 4)	

If Hex Nuts (part 5) are not attached to the Eye Bolts (part 4) put them on as follows.
Attach Hex Nut (part #5) to Eye Bolt (part #4) so that the Eye Bolt is on the inside of the
Work Bench (see Parts Diagram on page 5). Repeat the same step for the second set of
legs. When complete and the Work Bench is assembled, the Eye Bolts (part #4) will be
on opposite sides facing inward.
