Adding the Legs for 6ft Disk
The 6ft disk support can be added to the large turntable to support wider
objects on the turntable.
1. Slide the leg under the turntable while sliding the large D-nuts into
the cross beam of the leg.
2. Use a tape measure to ensure that all the legs are pulled by the same
length so the turntable is balanced properly.
3. Tighten the 4 x screws on the legs but not fully tighten them yet.
4. Repeat step 3 for any other legs to be attached to the turntable.
5. Level the legs using the swivel pads. To adjust the swivel pad
unscrew the lock nut and then lower or raise the swivel pad by
turning clockwise or anti-clockwise.
6. Tighten all the screws to secure the legs with the turntable.

level for smother disc rotations over the castor wheels during
turntable movements.
Attaching the control box

connectors are. Slide the control box into the slot on the Large
Turntable until you hear a slight click.
