- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
- Assemble Frame: Attach the main support legs and crossbars according to the diagrams in the separate assembly guide. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten bolts until the entire frame is assembled.
- Attach Playing Surfaces: Carefully place the two playing surface halves onto the assembled frame. Align the pre-drilled holes and secure them with the provided hardware.
- Install Wheels and Brakes: Attach the wheels to the designated points on the frame. Ensure the wheels with brakes are installed correctly and function properly.
