How to Install Middle Atlantic TechPed Series Finishing Kit TP-K1318

To ensure a flawless, professional finish that complements the TP-F1318 pedestal, follow these straightforward steps. Before you begin, confirm you have the TP-K1318 finishing kit, the TP-F1318 base pedestal, and the included mounting hardware. Prepare a clean workspace and verify you’re working on a stable surface to prevent damage during installation.

• Step 1: Prepare the TP-F1318 pedestal. Clear any objects from the top and sides and inspect the mounting surfaces to ensure they are flat and free of debris. Verify the kit contents against the packing list to confirm all hardware is present.
• Step 2: Align the finishing kit with the TP-F1318. Position the kit so that the mounting holes align with the corresponding points on the pedestal. This will ensure a flush, unified look and proper weight distribution once assembled.
• Step 3: Attach using included hardware. Insert screws through the kit’s pre-drilled holes into the TP-F1318 mounting locations. Do not overtighten; snug once the kit is seated evenly and securely against the pedestal surfaces.
• Step 4: Check alignment and level. After initially securing the kit, verify that the assembly sits level and square. If needed, make minor adjustments by loosening and re-tightening fasteners to achieve a perfectly balanced finish.
• Step 5: Finalize cable management and access. Route cables through the kit’s designed channels and openings, ensuring that airflow is not obstructed. Verify that service panels remain accessible for routine maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Step 6: Perform a functional check. Place representative equipment or a load within the 400 lb capacity, then re-check stability, alignment, and cable routing. Confirm the finish kit maintains its position and appearance during normal use.
