PUTTING THE BARRE ASSEMBLIES TOGETHER:

Screw the extension studs into the holes in the wood barres clockwise by hand until the shoulders touch the wood. An additional 1/2 turn may be necessary to straighten out the extension studs and make them all perpendicular to the wooden barre and parallel to each other. USE CAUTION!!!! IF YOU SCREW THEM TOO MUCH, IT WILL SPLIT THE WOOD!!!! Screw on wing nuts, washers, and square nuts exactly as shown in illustration

MOUNTING BARRE ASSEMBLY:

Pick up bar assembly and slide the square nut, on the end of each extension stud, into the top slot of its corresponding channel (washers and wing nuts are outside). Tighten the wing nuts when the barre is at your desired height. To adjust barre, loosen the

wing nut and slide it up and down the channel, then retightens the wing nut. Grab the wood barre at the point where the extension stud screws in and wiggle the barre up and down when tightening and loosening the wing Nut.
