Tip When Tightening
In order to keep pedestal bases flat to standing surface, we advise lightly hold down each pedestal with the flat of your hand while tightening
Center Hinge Lifting During Clamp Tightening
Ideally, the center hinge sits flat on the supporting surface along with the pedestals. Occasionally you may notice the hinge lifting as you tighten the black hand nuts. This is simply part of the leveling process of your ShowStackers™ after adjustment, and is easily rectified.
Place your hand flat on the gold stickers at the center, while gently pushing the top of each ShowStackers™ pedestal away from the center.

Center Hinge Lifting During Training
Though uncommon, some breeds can kick back with the rear legs quite strongly whilst stack training, and may cause the center hinge to lift. If this becomes an issue consider the following:
- Place a small weight on the center hinge section to reduce lift, or
- Open the ShowStackers™ tube legs fully outwards as per the configuration in the adjacent image. Note the new orientation of the center gold stickers
Full Assembly Instructions: Large & Giant
If you decide to remove your pedestals from the base frame, the following instructions will help you fit the correct pedestal to the correct base frame arms.Main points to consider
- The pedestals must be on the OUTSIDE of the tube arms.
- Arrange pedestals so hand tighten nuts correspond to the image. below
Final Note
The above assembly instructions are really just to help and get you started. Even if you mismatch the pedestals and arms, your ShowStackers™ will still work, but may lose a small portion of its intended flexibility.
Your completed Showstacker should resemble the final image.
