• 2x Side sub-assemblies
• 1x 1004p tube
• 3x 1010p tubes
• 16x Joiner hole plugs
• 2x Angle plates (to be assembled later)

Hardware:

• Joiner hole plug bag

Tools to Use:

• Rubber mallet

Frame Assembly

Locate and identify parts:

• Find the 1004p tube (numbers are laser-etched onto parts).
• Determine the front of the worm farm by locating the pre-assembled buttons.

Assemble 1004p tube:

• Position it at the back of the worm farm with small holes facing outward (not upwards or downwards) Note: The panels will be assembled onto the frame via these holes.
• Tap into place using a rubber mallet.

Install 1010p panels:

• Attach them to the remaining joiners, ensuring holes face outward.

Attach the second side sub-assembly:

• Align with the joiners and use a rubber mallet to secure them.

TIP: Start all joiners with the mallet before making a second pass to ensure a firm connection.

Stand the worm farm upright.

Insert joiner hole plugs:

• Locate 16x joiner hole plugs and install them in the following locations:
• Internal face: Top, middle, and bottom of each leg.
• External face: Bottom hole.

For single-unit assembly: Insert joiner hole buttons.

Retrieve Box 3 and remove the Fastener and Accessories box.
