Always Put Safety First!
Read these assembly instructions thoroughly
before beginning. Make sure each step is
understood before attempting. Be familiar
with all safety signs on the machine and their
meaning.
Tighten all fasteners to the torque value
specied on Bolt Torque Specications page.
Recheck before using the machine.
WARNING!
Avoid the risk of personal injury or machine
damage! Read the operator’s manual before
using this equipment. Carefully read all safety
messages in the manual and follow all safety
signs on the machine.
WARNING!
Position the crate in a large open area to allow
access from all sides during assembly.
Stay clear of overhead power lines and
obstructions when lifting the machine during
assembly. Contact with power lines can cause
electrocution. Contact with obstructions can
damage components or cause them to fail.
Keep the assembly area clean to prevent slipping
or tripping.
Use a hoist when lifting components that weigh
50 lb (23 kg) or more to avoid back injury.
All lifting devices (straps, slings, chains, ratchet
blocks) must comply with applicable local
regulations and certications. EMB cannot
accept responsibility for the use of sub-standard
equipment and work practices.
Use lifting equipment with a capacity greater than
the weight of the component. Place jack stands
under the machine to securely stabilize it before
working on, beside or under it during assembly.
Use the correct tool for the job. Repair or
replace broken or defective equipment or tools.
Makeshift tools, parts, and procedures can
create safety hazards. Select a functional and
adequately sized tool. An increased risk of
personal injury occurs if a tool breaks or slips
during use.

Bolt Torque Specications
Checking Bolt Torque
The tables shown give correct torque
values for various bolts and capscrews.
Tighten all bolts to the torque values
specied in the table, unless indicated
otherwise. Check tightness of bolts
periodically.
IMPORTANT! If replacing hardware,
use fasteners of the same grade.
IMPORTANT! Torque gures indicated
in the table are for non-greased or
non-oiled threads. Do not grease or oil
threads unless indicated otherwise.
When using a thread locker, increase
torque values by 5%.
NOTE: Bolt grades are identied by their
head markings.
