John, I would recommend that you unpack the unit and lay out the devise on the living room rug before you go to the clients place. Read the instructions through and become familiar with the parts. The kit for installing the unit is also very nice to start out with as it has the push pin installer, an awl, and a magnetic 1/4 hex driver for the screws. You also might want to include a wash rag to furl and place betweem your teeth to stiffle the utterances that might otherwise escape your lips as you undo what you just did.. <G> Figure on about 2 hours for the first one for an upright and 3 for grands the first few times. I am down to 3/4 and 1 hour now.
