Key Assembly Points:

• Connecting the console wiring: This step requires careful alignment and may benefit from a second person to hold the console unit.
• Flywheel placement: The flywheel is the heaviest and most awkward part; two people are recommended for this step.
• Wire routing: Ensure all wires are routed correctly and not pinched, especially under plastic covers, to prevent operational issues like clicking noises.
