Important: Read the entire manual to become familiar with the unit BEFORE you use the workbench.

Step 1) Attach Rubber Covers (part #2) to bottom Leg Tube (part #6).
Step 2) Slide Foam (part #1) onto Frame Top Tube (part #7) and Leg Tube (part #6).
Step 3) 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.
Step 4) Slide Leg Tube (part #6) into Frame Top Tube (part #7) so that holes are aligned. Slide
Leg Tube with Rubber Covers (part #2) into top Leg Tube (part #6).
Step 5) Attach Chain with Eye hooks (part #3) to the Eye Bolts (part #4) so that all Eye hooks are
facing inward when complete. See diagram on page 5 for illustration. When the Work
Bench is assembled, the Chain with Eye hooks and the Eye Bolts will be on opposite
sides facing inward.
Step 6) Set up both parts of the stand so that Eye Bolts (part #4) and Chain with Eye hooks are
on opposite sides facing inside of Work Bench. Attach Chain with Eye Hooks to work
Bench. Attach both halves together using Bolts (part #8), Washers (parts #9) and
Locknuts (part #10). Insert washers between each leg on each side of the stand, as well
as between Nut and stand and Bolt and stand. A washer should be used at all points
that metal is in contact with metal.
