Stand Assembly

Step 1: Prepare the Base

1. Place the base platform on a flat, level surface
2. Ensure the surface can support the total weight (approximately 45kg when fully assembled)
3. If permanent installation is required, mark drilling points for floor anchors

Step 2: Install Vertical Posts

1. Locate the two mounting points on the base platform
2. Insert the vertical support posts (685mm each) into the base mounting sockets
3. Secure with M8 bolts and washers
4. Torque specification: 15-20 Nm
5. Check posts are plumb using a level

Step 3: Install Horizontal Mounting Brackets

1. Position the horizontal mounting brackets at the designated height marks on the vertical posts
2. The main mounting bracket should be positioned to accommodate the VESA mounting plate
3. Secure brackets with M6 screws
4. Ensure brackets are level and properly aligned

Step 4: Test Stand Stability

1. Gently shake the assembled stand to check for any loose connections
2. Verify all bolts are properly tightened
3. Confirm the stand is stable and ready for VESA plate installation

VESA Plate Installation

Step 1: Prepare the VESA Mounting Plate

1. Remove the VESA mounting plate from packaging
2. Check the mounting pattern matches your kiosk's rear mounting points
3. Verify all mounting holes are clear of debris

Step 2: Mount VESA Plate to Stand

1. Position the VESA mounting plate on the horizontal mounting brackets
2. Align the plate to ensure it's centered and level
3. Mark the mounting holes on the brackets
4. Secure the VESA plate to the brackets using M6 mounting screws
5. Torque specification: 10-15 Nm
6. Double-check the plate is secure and level

Step 3: Test VESA Plate Alignment

1. Use a level to verify the VESA plate is perfectly vertical
2. Check that all mounting points are accessible
3. Ensure the plate can support the kiosk weight

Kiosk Installation

Step 1: Prepare the Kiosk Unit

1. Carefully remove the fully assembled kiosk from its packaging
2. Check for any shipping damage
3. Locate the VESA mounting points on the rear of the kiosk
4. Remove any protective film from the screen and surfaces
5. Ensure power cable is accessible

Step 2: Mount Kiosk to VESA Plate

1. IMPORTANT: This step requires two people for safety
2. Lift the kiosk unit and position it in front of the VESA plate
3. Align the kiosk's rear mounting points with the VESA plate holes
4. Insert VESA mounting bolts through the kiosk into the plate
5. Hand-tighten all bolts first, then use appropriate tools to secure
6. Torque specification: Follow kiosk manufacturer's recommendations
7. Ensure the kiosk is firmly attached and cannot move

Step 3: Cable Management and Power Connection

1. Route the power cable through the stand's cable management system
2. Secure cables with provided cable ties to prevent tangling
3. Ensure no cables are pinched or under tension
4. Connect power cable to appropriate electrical outlet
5. Verify proper grounding connection

Step 4: Test Installation
