Step 3
Use the smaller black screws to attach the bases to the plate mount in the top and bottom holes.
Note: The base with the I marker goes on the side of the plate mount with the I marker and the base with the II marker goes on the side of the plate mount with the II marker.
Optional: The plate mount can be adjusted higher by sliding the plate mount up by 1, 2, or 3 holes and installing the screws at the farthest available holes. See the plate height adjustment instructions for details ☝️ -
