UNIT ASSEMBLY
Package Contents:
Unit, Tires, and Literature Pack
Unpack Unit
Remove unit and all other components from
shipping container. Open bypass valve (see
Hydraulic Bypass Valve on page 13). Push
unit from container onto a level surface.
Close bypass valve.
Install Tires
Safely raise and support the unit. Remove the
hardware from the wheel mounts. Save the
lug nuts.
Install the left and right wheels with the lug
nuts supplied on the unit. Tighten the lug nuts
to 80 lbf-ft (108 N•m) (Figure 3).
IMPORTANT: The wheels are designed to be
installed one way. Installing the wheels
incorrectly will grind the rims against the unit
frame, damaging the frame and the wheel
rim. Install the wheel so the recess for the lug
nuts faces out.
ALWAYS be aware of attachments when
turning. ALWAYS allow adequate clearance
between attachments, personnel, and other
objects.
NOTE: Gravely does not recommend or
approve of the use of a sulky or other
stand-on or sit-on device for transporting
the operator on this unit. Use of such
devices may render the machine unsafe
and will void the warranty.
