Hi i need to move a system 4000 out my dads unit as the lease is up can it be dismantled for moving as i don't really want to pay for a van hire thanks .

Yes, it can be dismantled, but some of the pieces can still be quite big and not necessarily suitable for transporting in an ordinary car. Added to that some pieces are going to be somewhat heavy as well. Re-assembly at the other end is going to be a bit of a challenge as well, it's probably not going to be easy as a one man task.

Thanks ive got access to a people carrier do you know how to dismantle or is there a guide thanks .

It's fairly straightforward, but quite heavy, so easier with 2 people.

The basic principle is

1) Remove the 2 white wooden backing boards
2) Lay the machine down on the floor if you have space
3) Loosen the leg height adjustments on the black A frame legs, and push in for minimum height adjustment.
4) Undo bolts where A frame legs attach to the bottom (horizontal) bar - leave A frame attached at the top
5) Undo bolts joining th Horizontal bar to the Vertical bar.

You should now be able to slide the bottom (horizontal) bar out, and you should be left with the vertical bar, with the A frame still attached.

You should then be able to fit it in a people carrier with no problem.

It's a while since I have done one, but hopefully I haven't missed anything out.

If in doubt, you can access the manual here https://www.keencut.com/assets/Instruct ... glish1.pdf
