Preparations

CAUTION: To set up this unit, you will need assistance. Do not attempt assembly by yourself.
You must review and follow the instructions in this Owner’s Manual. If you do not assemble and use the PPA-13X
according to these guidelines, you could void the Powerline warranty.
Required Tools
The basic tools that you must obtain before assembling
the PPA-13X include but are not limited to:
m Standard Wrench Set
m Metric Wrench Set
m Adjustable Wrench
Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when assembling
the PPA-13X:
Set up the PPA-13X on a solid, at surface. A smooth, at
surface under the machine helps keep it level. A
level machine has fewer malfunctions.
Provide ample space around the machine. Open
space around the machine allows for easier access.
Insert all bolts in the same direction. For aesthetic
purposes, insert all bolts in the same direction unless
specied (in text or illustrations) to do otherwise.
Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners such as
bolts, nuts, and screws so the unit is stable, but leave
room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners
until instructed in the assembly steps to do so.
Fill out and mail the warranty card.
Be careful to assemble components in the sequence
presented in this guide.
NOTE: With so many assembled parts, proper
alignment and adjustment is critical. While
tightening the nuts and bolts, be sure to leave
room for adjustments.
CAUTION: Obtain assistance! Do not attempt to
assemble the PPA-13X by yourself.
Review the Installation Requirements
before proceeding with the following
steps.

Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the PPA-13X takes professional installers about 1 hour to complete. If this is the rst time you have
assembled this type of equipment, plan on signicantly more time.
Professional installers are highly recommended!
However, if you acquire the appropriate tools, obtain assistance, and follow the assembly steps sequentially,
the process will take time, but is fairly easy.
Assembly Tips
Read all “Notes” on each page before beginning each
step.
While you may be able to assemble the PPA-13X using
the illustrations only, important safety notes and other
tips are included in the text.
Some pieces may have extra holes that you will not use.
Use only those holes indicated in the instructions and
illustrations.
NOTE: To nd out the length of a particular bolt,
measure its shank (the long, narrow part
beneath the head). Refer to the following
diagram:
Do not fully tighten bolts until instructed to do so.
Note: After assembly, you should check all functions
to ensure correct operation. If you experience
 problems,rstrechecktheassemblyinstructions
