Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when assembling
the unit:
•
Fill out and mail the limited warranty card
. The
warranty card is found on the back cover of this
guide.
•
Set up the Solana on a solid, flat surface
. A
smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep it
level. A level unit has fewer malfunctions.
•
Provide ample space around the machine
.
Open space around the machine allows for
easier access.
•
Insert all bolts in the same direction
. For
aesthetic purposes, insert all the bolts in the
same direction unless specified (in text or
illustrations) to do otherwise.
•
Leave room for adjustments.
Tighten fasteners
(such as bolts, nuts, and screws), so the unit is
stable, but leave room for adjustments.
Do not
fully tighten fasteners until instructed (in the steps)
to do so.
Assembly Tips
•
A black 6-inch scale with white numbers is provided
at the bottom of every assembly instruction page.
Use this scale to identify the correct size bolts and
spacers. The head of a bolt is not used in
measuring the length of a bolt.
Note:
A few of the bolts used to assemble the
Solana are longer than 6 inches. You may want to
use a measuring tape to accurately identify the
correct sizes.
To find out the length of a particular bolt, measure
its shank (the long, narrow part beneath the head).
Refer to the following diagram:
Bolt head
Bolt threads
Shank
To determine the
length of a bolt,
measure its shank.
•
Read all caution notes on each page before
completing that step.
•
Some pieces have extra holes that you will not use.
Use only those holes indicated in the instructions
and illustrations.
•
While you may be able to assemble the Solana by
reading the illustrations only, refer to the text for
important safety cautions and notes.
