Assembly Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when assemblying the EID-42.
Use the overhead view on the front page cover to layout your oor
plan before assemblying.
Set up the EID-42 on a clean, solid, at surface. A smooth, at surface
under the machine helps keep it level.
Allow ample space around the machine for safe unrestricted use and
easier access.
Insert all bolts in the same direction. For aesthetic appearance,
insert all bolts in the same direction unless speci ed (in text or
illustration) to do otherwise.
Assembly Tips
Read all “Notes” on each page before beginning each step.
While you may be able to assemble the EID-42 using the illustrations
only, IMPORTANT safety notes and other tips are included in the text.
Some pieces may have extra holes that you will not use. Use only
those holes indicated in the instructions and illustration. Safety bolts
(Stopper) are placed in some pieces to prevent accidental removal of
moving parts, be sure to comply with the manufacturer’s request.
NOTE: With so many assembled parts, proper alignment
and adjustment is critical. While tightening the
nuts and bolts, be sure to leave room for nal
adjustments.
CAUTION: Obtain assistance if you feel like you can’t assemble
the EID-42 by yourself. Please do not attempt to
do so as this could result in equipment failure and
injuries to you. Review the installation requirements
before proceeding with the assembly steps.
Maintenance Requirements
Gladiator equipment is designed to o er long-life service and
minimum maintenance. Please refer to the Inspection and Schedule
replacement part labels posted on the machine or on pages 3-4 of this
manual. Do not use Lysol or Windex as they will dry out and crack the
vinyl. Use a lanolin based hand cleaner or naugahyde cleaner on the
upholstery.
Leave room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners until instructed in the assembly steps to do so (to prevent any di culty with
alignment of parts during the assembly process). When not instructed,
tighten fasteners such as bolts, nuts and screws so the unit is stable,
but leave room for adjustments.
