each step.

2. Some smaller parts may be shipped inside larger parts. Check inside all parts and cartons
before assembling or ordering parts.

3. To make assembly easier, use the Hardware Identifier on page 2 to identify and sort all
fasteners. Check all cartons for kits. All hardware may not be located in one kit.

4. Do not tighten hardware until instructed to do so. If hardware is tightened too soon, mounting holes

may not align and parts may not easily fit together. Leave locknuts slightly loose until you are instructed to
tighten them.
