Assembly
Dear Friend:
Thank you for purchasing the new Compact ComposTumbler. Properly assembled
and operated, your new tumbler can go on giving you rich, healthy compost for
years. And that in turn will give you a healthier, more beautiful and productive
lawn and garden – naturally.
Your Compact ComposTumbler has been shipped ready to be assembled. All of the
parts and pieces you will need are included–all you supply are the proper tools
and the labor.
This manual is designed to help you through the step-by-step assembly process
and make it an easy and painless operation.
The entire assembly can be completed by just one person, although there are steps
that would be easier with a second pair of hands!
You will probably find it easiest to assemble your Compact ComposTumbler on or
near the place where you intend to use it. While the completed assembly isn’t heavy,
it is somewhat bulky and awkward to move.
Work on a smooth surface to prevent scratching the paint on the drum.
Before you start:
Take the time to read this manual completely before you actually start the assembly.
That way you can avoid any surprises halfway through the job.
Check the “Tools You Will Need” list below and make sure you have all of them
handy. Having the proper tools can make the assembly much faster and easier.
Then, check over the parts included and compare them against the parts list on
Pages 3 and 4. Make sure you have and can identify all of the parts for both the
Frame and the Tumbler Drum before you start.
