3. Assembly
Before continuing, ensure you have completely read and understood this manual’s
Safety chapter, in addition to the safety information in the section(s) below.
3.1. Assembly Safety
• Do not take chances with safety. The components can be large, heavy, and hard to
handle. Always use the proper tools, rated lifting equipment, and lifting points for the
job.
• Always have two or more people assembling the equipment.
• Make sure you have sufficient lighting for the work area.
• Tighten all fasteners according to their specifications. Do not replace or substitute
bolts, nuts, or other hardware that is of lesser quality than the hardware supplied by
the manufacturer.
3.2. Check Shipment
Unload the parts at the assembly site and inspect them thoroughly while comparing the
packing slip to the shipment. Ensure that all items have arrived and that none are
damaged.
It is important to report missing or damaged parts immediately to ensure that proper
credit is received from either the manufacturer or from your distributor/dealer, and to
ensure that any missing parts can be shipped quickly to avoid delaying the assembly
process.
Note:
Do not attempt to assemble or install a damaged component.
