ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly is highly dangerous and must be carried out in strict accordance with the
following instructions. We recommend that qualified personnel perform assembly.
We also recommend that assembly be carried out on a flat, solid surface, in an open
area with no people (particularly children) nearby who could be severely injured if
they were to touch or move any parts of the machine.
Assemblers must provide suitable lifting mechanisms and supports for stabilizing the
partially assembled units, so as to prevent them from falling and causing damage or
injury. The steps for assembly are illustrated in following. Depending on the
experience of the assemblers and the tools available, it is not necessary that the
instructions be followed in the exact order given here, but the safety precautions
described above must always be followed carefully and scrupulously.
