cannot be provided, personnel who might be exposed to fumes

must be equipped with hose masks or air respirators.

Layout and Assembly

1. To make the body, measure and mark all the lines on the

10-1/2" x 12" piece of sheet metal using the measurements in the

diagram. There is no cutting on this piece. Using a hand seamer or

metal brake, bend Line 1 at each side back on itself to create the

1/4" hems. Bend each Line 2 up 90 degrees.

2. To make the ends, measure and mark all lines on each

6-15/16" x 5-1/4" piece of sheet metal. Using the center line (CL)

as a guide, mark and cut the outlines. Fold Lines 5 and 6 back on

themselves 1/4". Then, bend each Line 3 and then each Line 4 up

90 degrees.

3. For the handle, measure and mark all the lines on the 2" x 13"

piece of sheet metal. Make the 1/2" cuts (Line 7). Notch each

corner 1/2" x 1/4" using straight snips. Next, bend each Line 8

back on itself to create a 1/4" hem. Bend along each Line 9 up

90 degrees. Bend the Line 10 tabs out and bend the middle tab

down.

4. Assemble the tray

bottom and the ends

with the end aps

(Lines 3 and 4) toward

the outside of the body

sides (Line 2). Drill and

set two rivets into each

of the four aps to

fasten them to the tray
