[. . . ] READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY. Read each step completely before beginning each step. SOME SMALLER PARTS MAY BE SHIPPED INSIDE LARGER PARTS. CHECK INSIDE ALL PARTS AND CARTONS BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR ORDERING PARTS. USE THE HARDWARE IDENTIFIER TO IDENTIFY AND SORT ALL FASTENERS. [. . . ] STEP BY STEP SHIMMING PROCEDURE A) Be sure table is set in its final location. B) Table must be as level as possible before shimming. Large differences in levelness must be corrected by raising or lowering frame with shim stock or playing cards. C) Tighten down all playfield mounting screws. D) Check with a carpenter's level to determine where playfield is low on ends, and use finger tips to locate uneven spots at the seams. Loosen screws at these points and see if playfield comes up to flush. If so, detach individual shims #26 from the sheet shipped with this table and place under these areas. (See Figure 8) E) Lay a straight edge across seams to be sure playfield pieces are flat in relation to each other. F) After top surface of playfield is flat and level, all screws must be snugged down in tight position. Check these screws before beginning grouting. GROUTING INSTRUCTIONS 15. Clean top of playfield with a damp cloth. Prepare Plaster of Paris, furnished with this table. Do not mix all the powder at first; save some in case you need to thicken your initial mixture. To mix: Empty 1/3 to 1/2 of grout into container, slowly add drops of water while stirring. Grout should be a thick paste when mixed that will not drip off putty knife. If you do get grout to thin, slowly add more powder. Using a putty knife, fill seam and the four countersunk holes in the center playfield area. (Only the four countersunk holes in the center of the table need to be filled since the other holes will be covered by the rails or are too small to matter. ) Do not use more plaster than you need. Page 18. Read the rest of this manual while you wait!Using a medium grit sandpaper and a sanding block, sand the plastered areas smooth and flat. RECHECK THESE AREAS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE FLAT. Re-plaster if you still find low places at countersunk holes or seams. 6 DO NOT SMOKE WHILE WORKING WITH CONTACT CEMENT! [. . . ] Follow the same procedure to attach end rails #4. NOTE: to help drive screws into rails, put a little dry soap on screws threads. With all six rails loosely mounted in place, establish the playfield area by measuring from the nose of the cushion of any rail to the nose of the rail directly opposite. Dimensions should be 38 inches from side rail to side rail and 76 inches from end rail to end rail. [. . . ]
