A few important pointers before you start:
• Please read the instructions right through before you start, and check
that all the components have been included in the pack; we nd
separating all the hardware into piles makes it easier to be sure that
everything is present and correct.
• Make sure you have the right tools.Allen keys are provided if required,
but screw drivers and other tools are not. You’ll nd details of the tools
you need at the beginning of the instructions.
• It’s a good idea to build the unit in the room where you are going to be
using it, to avoid the need to move it after it’s been assembled.
• Do not throw away any packing materials until assembly is complete,
just in case you accidentally discard smaller parts or hardware.
