RTA-988D
P.6 P.6
BEFORE YOU START THE ASSEMBLY, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TIPS AND WARNINGS.
• If during assembly you find an issue or need clarification,
please contact our Customer Service for assistance.
Please refer to the last pages on this manual.
• On each step read the instructions thoroughly and
analyze the illustrations before proceeding to do the
assembly.
• Follow the instructions step by step and do not skip any
unless our Customer Service advises it is OK to do so.
• Do not overtighten or force the screws as they might
break, strip, damage the threads of the holes or get stuck
inside the part.
• Make sure you understand which hardware will be
used on each step. Using the wrong size of screw,
bolt or pin might strip the threads or cause damage
to the part in which it is being used.
• To avoid misalignments, always leave the screws loose
and tighten them until all pieces are positioned correctly.
• If the hole seems too small for the screw, make sure you
are using the correct size of screw and/or that you are
installing it in the correct hole.
• Do not discard this manual or any of the packaging
material until the unit has been completely assembled.

•Sometimes on the panels the laminate or material might be
covering the hole partially or entirely. If there is no visible
hole or it seems too small, pass and press the tip of your
finger over the area where the hole should be located to feel
its indentation, and once found, carefully pierce the laminate
to uncover the hole underneath.
