Assembly Instructions
Pre-assembly Modifications
Important: The following modifications must be completed before assembly.
Aluminum profiles
- Eight aluminum profiles (400 mm) must be drilled at both ends
- Two holes per profile (one at each extremity)
- Hole diameter: 6 mm
- Maintain a consistent distance x from the ends for all profiles
Central pillow block
- All mounting holes must be threaded for M4 screws
