the footblock into two
sections.
1b. Measure 1/4" (0.6 cm) at solid portion of upper
beam and cut here. (DO NOT cut from bottom of
the beam which shows the pre cut edges that
mates to the base of the foot block.)
1c. Re-assemble the footblock by pushing the upper
beam through the underside of the base of the
footblock and allowing this to catch/snap into
position. DO NOT fully extend at this time.
