Just as an aside: I pulled mine out and put in an original aluminum manual one. I think I shed about 50 pounds by doing it, as well as gaining horsepower. It's almost as easy to steer as well. Anything to go faster!

First trick is to send that box back and get a better unit from FirmFeel.

I agree. My experience with year one is that they are much more expensive, and you may find better quality out there.
