Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when assembling the unit:
• Assemble the unit near the location where you plan to use it.
• Provide ample space around the unit.
Open space around the unit allows for easier access.
• Set up the unit on a solid, flat surface.
A smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep it level. A level unit has
fewer malfunctions.
• Open the box and assemble the components in the sequence
presented in this guide.
• Insert all fasteners with your fingers.
Use your fingers to properly align and thread the fasteners. This helps
alleviate cross-threading. Do not fully wrench tighten fasteners until
instructed to do so.
Important: When wrench tightening, the head of the fastener should be
flush with the product. If it is not, cross-threading has occurred. Do not
attempt to rework the assembly as more damage to the equipment will
occur. Contact Customer Support. Refer to
Obtaining Service .
• If you plan to move the unit, obtain help and use a hand truck.
Do not grasp any plastic parts while lifting or moving the unit. The plastic
parts are not capable of supporting the weight of the unit and they may
break.
