IMPORTANT
METAL DIFFERENCES
The parts that you have to assemble are made of aluminum, but the
screws are made of steel. Given that aluminum is a softer metal than
steel, you must be very careful and sometimes patient when assembling
all the parts.
We want to be sure that the black rubber washers are securely tightened
around the screws. This means that small particles of rubber could
become detached and stuck in the threads of the screws, creating a
certain resistance as the screws are tightened. This shouldn’t pose a huge
problem. Just proceed with a light touch and make sure that the screw is
well engaged with the threads of the aluminum part.
SCREW TIGHTENING
Never force a screw. If you’re encountering a little difficulty, you
can cover the end of the screw or the inside of the nut with a bit of
candle wax or all-purpose oil. You should know that after hundreds of
assemblies, we have yet to fail, although a certain amount of patience
and a delicate touch have sometimes been necessary.
You should also know that it is not advisable to tighten everything
to the maximum during assembly. That’s because between each of
the assembled parts there’s a rubber washer, and once it’s slightly
compressed, it offers sufficient resistance for a solid assembly. It’s also
a wise idea to occasionally check to see if the entire assembly remains
securely and sufficiently tightened.
