Anchoring Frame
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Contact local utility companies to ensure that the installation area is
free of pipes, cables, and other hazards BEFORE installing anchors or choosing installation area.

The location must be flat, level, and stable with good locations for the Anchors (14-1).
2. Level the frame end-to-end and side-to-side.
3. Measure the width of the frame at front and back, it should be 10′ 2″ wide.
The distance diagonally in one direction should be equal to the distance diagonally in the other direction.
If any measurements do not match, adjust the frame and retake measurements
until they are equal within a reasonable tolerance.
Note: If measurements cannot be made correct, then parts may not be seated together properly.
