Directions

1. Lay out the frame parts as shown in the image above.


2. Place the U-bolts over the side rail and then push the LoPro fitting onto it. It may be necessary to bend the horns of the U-bolts so that they match the holes on the fitting. This small amount of bending can usually be done by hand.


3. Add the washers and locking nuts leaving them loose.
    
   


4. Move the foot and seat bars wherever desired. Be sure that the side marked "Front" on the seat plate faces foreward. When a foot or seat bar must be repositioned the fittings grip the side rails tightly and it may be necessary to remove the U-bolt to make adjustments.


5. Tighten the nylon locking nuts. The washers are intended to take up slight variations in the length of the U-bolts. If less than two or three threads protrude above the top to the nylon locking nut, do not use the washers.


6. Check to be sure that all of the U-bolts are tight. Periodically check the tightness of all nuts and bolts.


7. When you are storing your frame for long periods of time, it is reccommended that you give the raw wood edges a light coat of waterproofing (i.e. Thompson's Waterseal) to keep the wood from weather checking.
