4. Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your Vision VFM-F stand. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly, especially when mounting the display.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Verify all components against the "Package Contents" list.
2. Assemble Base: Attach the vertical columns to the base of the stand using the provided screws and tools. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
3. Attach Display Mounting Bracket: Secure the display mounting bracket to the vertical columns at the desired height. The bracket allows for vertical adjustment.
