BEFORE BEGINNING ASSEMBLY

A. Identify and inventory all parts using the checklist boxes on the Parts List. Keep

the hardware bags and their contents separate. If any parts are missing, call our

Customer Service Department.

B. Test fit all Bolts by inserting them into their respective holes. Coat tight-fitting Bolts

with grease using the enclosed Grease Packet. If necessary, carefully scrape away

any excess powder coating buildup from inside the holes. Do not scrape away all of

the powder coating. Bare metal may rust. You may need to pound some Bolts into

place with a hammer or mallet.

C. Purchase the cement necessary for the system as noted in the assembly steps.

Also call the appropriate agencies before digging to locate power, gas and/or water

lines.
