Read and understand the operating instructions before proceeding. 2) Lift the column slightly using a suitable lifting sling so that it cannot tip over during unpacking. If you do not have a motorised crane or other lifting device available, we recommend using at least 3 strong people for the assembly.

We push the column a little further so that the lower end stands on the non-slip mat when it is lowered. For your own safety, we recommend that you erect the column with at least three people or using aids such as a forklift truck or assembly crane.
