Assembling the EMU

Help me be required to assemble your new EMU

1/ Unpack the E.M.U. and
inspect all the parts to insure
all are included. Please
contact your E.M.U. dealer
immediately if any parts are
missing or damaged when
shipped.

Place your E.M.U. on a flat,
clean surface. Place a block

3.5” under the front, by the
battery. This will make it
easier for the next step.
