Like all assembly manuals, this is reproduced from a book made for use inside the factory, and never intended for the public. Therefore, the print (like the print in original assembly manuals) is occasionally light.  There are a handful of spots in the book where some of the words are unreadable.  Buy now to own this never before available book. More assembly manuals coming soon.
