ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The purpose of shipping preparations such
as having no battery is to better adapt the unit for
an extended non-active period. If the machine is to
remain non-active for a long period of time, do not
perform the following assembly work until
necessary. Also, further prepare the unit for storage
as instructed in this manual.

3. Install caster (E) into walking beam by raising
the caster and lowering walking beam onto pivot
