    It's fairly simple, actually. You'll probably want to have a friend on hand to help you install the rear legs. Here is a link to some videos on Stern's site that step you through the process:

    If you have a sawhorse it is very easy to do yourself.

    If you have a pickup you can save yourself a bit of money by picking the pin up at the shippers warehouse. Just make sure you get two 15" long cargo straps. The 10 footers weren't long enough.

    Of course you will then need another person to help unload the pin.

    I tried to move some machines with my wife and it does not work. Make sure your helper can lift 150lbs. Wife is not good unless she is tough.

    lol, When I bought my Batman forever, the lady helped me carry it out of the basement, up the steps and into my truck. That is one heavy pin. Her fat boyfriend stood there and watched.

    Sounds like a pretty cool lady, was she Alaskan?

    yeah its actually pretty easy, the instructions are straight forward. I agree though, If you can have someone help while you put on the last two legs it will help

    I was in your shoes back in December and asked the same question on this forum. Search for that as there were many good answers.

    I had a friend of mine help me and it was fairly easy (just use the vid directions on Stern's youtube page). One of the best things you can do IMHO out of the gate would be to get a cabinet leg protector:

    Grab one before you get/setup the machine.

    She was Alaskan born but not a native. Her boyfriend looked like Tweedle Dee in his coverals.
