Before we continue with the rest of the machine assembly, we need to assemble the VAT. Since this is an intermediate assembly and shall fit separately on the machine, we have to do this now and get it out of the way before continuing with more exciting stuff. Note that the VAT may come already assembled in the box. If this is the case, it is still recommended to go through these steps, since the VAT may be only partially assembled and may still need few parts to be complete. Make sure to always handle this portion of the assembly with care since it involves glass.
