2.2 Ballast Weight
1. Identify the Base Rail
#8
, the Ballast Weight
#9
, the two nylon loop clamps
#10
, and the M4×20 Torx tapping screws. These screws can be identified by
the star-shaped socket on their heads and length of approximately 20 mm,
as measured below the head (
A
).
2. Press the screws through the loop clamps as shown (
B
).
3. Check the ballast weight for any sharp edges, and dull them if necessary
using (for example) the side of a screwdriver blade (
C
). (The ends may be
sharp as well, but they are mostly protected once installed.)
4. Orient the Base Rail as shown: With the two “middle” holes shown on the
side facing up and towards you (
D
). These are the two holes that line up with
those on the Ballast Weight.

The ballast weight may have sharp edges;
Handle with appropriate care.
