Assembly Sequence Steps

  1. Locate strut s1 and insert into node n0 at hole 1.
      Tighten securely
  2. Locate strut s2 and insert into node n0 at hole 2.
      Tighten securely
  3. Locate strut s3 and insert into node n0 at hole 3.
      Tighten securely
  4. Locate strut s4 and insert into node n0 at hole 4.
      Tighten securely
  5. Locate node n5 and screw onto strut s1. Make sure ?tri-hole? is facing the center.
      Do not tighten 100%
  6. Locate node n6 and screw onto strut s2. Make sure ?tri-hole? is facing the center.
      Do not tighten 100%
  7. Locate node n7 and screw onto strut s3. Make sure ?tri-hole? is facing the center.
      Do not tighten 100%
  8. Locate node n8 and screw onto strut s4. Make sure ?tri-hole? is facing the center.
      Do not tighten 100%
  9. Locate strut s9 and place it between node n5 and node n8. Tighten into node n5 about ten revolutions and then into node n8 about ten revolutions.
      If placed correctly strut should be parallel to the ground
    Go back and tighten each screw 100% making sure one screw is not turning while you are tightening the other.
  10. Locate strut s10 and place it between node n6 and node n7. Tighten into node n6 about ten revolutions and then into node n7 about ten revolutions. Go back and tighten each screw 100% making sure one screw is not turning while you are tightening the other.
  11. Locate strut s11 and place it between node n6 and node n8. Tighten into node n6 about ten revolutions and then into node n8 about ten revolutions. Go back and tighten each screw 100% making sure one screw is not turning while you are tightening the other.
  12. Locate strut s12 and place it between node n5 and node n7. Tighten into node n5 about ten revolutions and then into node n7 about ten revolutions. Go back and tighten each screw 100% making sure one screw is not turning while you are tightening the other.
  13. At this point go back and securely tighten the connections between the nodes and struts s1,s2,s3,and s4.
    Locate strut s13 and insert into node n5.
      Tighten securely
  14. Locate strut s14 and insert into node n6.
      Support the weight of the strut with one hand while screwing with the other
      Tighten securely
  15. Locate strut s15 and insert into node n7.
      Support the weight of the strut with one hand while screwing with the other
      Tighten securely
  16. Locate strut s16 and insert into node n7.
      Support the weight of the strut with one hand while screwing with the other
      Tighten securely
  17. Place node n17 on top of the struts you just tightened so that the screws fit into the four holes.
      Again make sure ?tri-hole? is facing the center
    Alternate, screwing each strut 3-5 turns at a time until all are 100% tightened.
