23. Make sure the legs on the first table top half (the half with the name panel #5) are open. With
one person on each side of the table, lift and set table half on its legs. Place table against a
wall as shown above to help stabilize table top half while second half is being attached. Be
sure there is enough room to connect second half as shown in Figure 9.
CAUTION:
BE SURE THE FIRST TABLE HALF YOU ASSEMBLED (WITH NAME PANELS #5
ATTACHED) IS STABLE AND AGAINST A WALL. DO NOT LEAVE TABLE HALF
STANDING UNATTENDED.
24. Place a hex bolt #9 and a locknut #15 on floor next to caster wheels (on both sides of the
table half) so they will be handy for the next step. See Detail I.
CAUTION:
25. With a person on both sides of the second table half, slide the second table half against the first table half. Remove locknuts #15 from screws #14 on second table half
where U-support #7 and linkages #4 join. Align holes in name panels #5 (on first table half) with holes in U-supports (on second table half). Secure second table half to top
hole in name panel #5 using hex bolt #14 installed earlier and locknuts just removed. Secure second table half to bottom hole in name panel #5 with the two hex bolts #9
and locknuts #15 you placed on the floor earlier. Tighten locknuts snug but do not overtighten. These joints must pivot. At this point go back and tighten hex bolts #9.
UNTIL THE TABLE HALVES ARE CONNECTED THEY WILL NOT STAND ON THEIR
OWN. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO HAVE THREE PEOPLE TO CONNECT TABLE
HALVES. TWO TO STABILIZE TABLE AND ONE TO BOLT TABLE TOGETHER.
