Stand two legs upright as shown in Figure 4.6.1. Align and insert each fin protrusion into each leg as shown in Figures 4.6.2 & 4.6.3. Note that upright legs should never be left unsupported at any time. Legs are available in the following sizes: 0.5m, 1.0m, 1.5m, 1.8m and 2.0m.

Build up the remaining legs for this platform as shown in Figure 4.7.1 and insert four Leg Braces as shown in Figure 4.7.2. For this application, as illustrated in Figure 1.1, Sayfa Systems UK recommend four as a minimum for each corner platform in the site plot.

Adjust the Leg Baseplates (Figure 4.8.1 & 4.8.2) to achieve a uniform platform height.

If using the base plate foot extension, select the leg of the right size for the finished platform height, then slide the leg down over the foot to the correct height (Fig 4.8.1a).

Do not use a combination of base plate foot extensions and leg extensions.

Line up with the hole at the selected height and secure with a clip and pin.(Fig 4.8.2 b).

Warning! Only use the height-indicated fixing holes as the other holes must remain free for the leg braces

Build up the remaining platforms across the rear wall (Figure 4.9) adjusting the overall level and height using leg baseplates.
