Assembly
Make Things Easier for Yourself!
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the assembly of our products can be complet-
ed successfully by anyone. However, it is impor-
tant to recognize that your new equipment is a
sophisticated product with many small parts and
consequently, the assembly process will take
time. Most people find that by setting aside plenty
of time, and by deciding to make the task enjoy-
able, assembly will go smoothly.
