Position the bottom of the front leg approx x 2 - 4 inches of the !oor.

Check the inside of your console for objects or wires before drilling into the console.
When you attach the mount we recommend putting extra 12 mm ply backing to strengthen your
console to stop !ex and movment of the console. The extra board sits between the console and the alloy
backing disc we supply. Position the 2nd mount on the leg as high as posible on your console.
The rear leg you can place higher o" the !oor than the front leg.
This will angle the top giving you more height at the back and head clearance.
