materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. In addition to the included
tools, assembly requires a Phillips screwdriver and an adjustable wrench .
Use the part drawings below to identify the small parts used in assembly. The number in parentheses below
each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on page 14. The number following the key
number is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been preattached for ship-
ping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been preattached.
