Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when assembling the unit:

•Fill out and mail the warranty registration card.

•Set up the S3.15 on a solid, flat surface.

A smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep it level.

•Provide ample space around the machine. Open space around the machine allows for easier access.

•Insert all fasteners in the same direction. For aesthetic purposes, insert all the fasteners in the same direction unless specified (in text or illustrations) to do otherwise.

•Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners (such as screws, nuts, and bolts), so the unit is stable, but leaves room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners until instructed (in the steps) to do so.

Assembly Tips

•Fasteners may become loose and fall off during shipment. Inspect the plastic wrap and packaging for loose parts. To alleviate confusion during assembly, reattach the loose fasteners and pulleys found in the packaging.

•A black 6-inch scale with white numbers is provided at the bottom of every assembly instruction page. Use this scale to identify the correct fastener size. The head of a fastener is not used in measuring the length.

•Most fasteners are ³⁄₈-inch unless otherwise noted. To find out the length of a particular fastener, measure its shank (the long, narrow part beneath the head). Refer to the following diagram:

Shank

•Silver-colored zinc fasteners are used with the titanium parts (Press Arm, Floating Pulleys, etc.). Black fasteners are used when assembling the stone gray painted surfaces.

•Some pieces have extra holes that you will not use. Use only those holes indicated in the instructions and illustrations.

•Read all caution notes on each page before completing that step.

•While you may be able to assemble the S3.15 by reading the illustrations only, refer to the text for important safety cautions and notes.
