A few important pointers before you start:
• It might be worth checking on our website that there are no updates
or revisions to these instructions (if we have had helpful feedback from
other customers we pass it on via the product web page). Simply check
• Please read the instructions right through before you start, and check that
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,
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 and hardware.
