quires that the assembler wears gloves

on the Spring with approximately 30 lbs.
of vertical force. For safety, an “able
bodied helper” is recommended to be
present for assistance during the as-
sembly of this Attachment.

get ahead of the follow-
ing Step by Step instructions... following
this proper sequence of assembly, pro-
tects the assembler from having to deal
with
very strong
Spring forces.
