L5486 •Please read the instructions right through before you start, and
check that all the components have been included in the pack;
we find 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 find
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.
