Caution
Always square each corner before tightening a bracket. See the previous section for instructions.
B. General Steps
The steps for both sides are the same:
- Square the first section and attach a bracket.
- Use two (2) M5x12mm and two (2) split lock washers.
- Add another section of frame with a bracket and pair of screws and lock washers.
- Keep going around the corners adding brackets.
- Continually check your work for a good, square fit as you go.
- Attach the fourth bracket. If the frame is squared, it will readily slide in place.

| Attach L1 and L3 |  |
| Attach L1 and L4 |  |
| Attach L2 and L4 |  |
