Required tools

The basic tools that you must obtain before assembling

the PLA144X include but are not limit to:

• Standard Wrench Set

• Metric Wrench Set

• Adjustable Wrench

• Standard / Metric Allen Key Set

Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when assembling

the PLA144X:

Set up the PLA144X on a solid, fl at surface. A smooth,

fl a t surface under the machine helps keep it level.

Provide ample space around the machine. Open space

around the machine allows for easier access.

For aesthetic purposes, insert all bolts in the same

direction unless specifi ed (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 assembly steps to do so.

Assembly Tips

Read all “Notes” on each page before beginning each step.

While you may be able to assemble the
illustrations only, important safety notes and other tips may be
included in the text.

Some pieces may have extra holes that you will not use. Use
only those holes indicated in the instructions and illustrations.

NOTE: With so many assembled parts, proper
alignment and adjustment is critical. While
tightening the nuts and bolts, be sure to leave
room for adjustments.

NOTE: The bottles that are marked “Poison” is your
touch up paint. Keep away from children.
