Unpacking Instructions

Carefully unpack the box upon receipt. Check contents to ensure all parts are present and in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packaging material if any parts appear damaged. Save the package and all packaging materials. If the product must be returned, it is important that it is returned in the original factory box and packaging.
