SETUP INSTRUCTIONS AND
SNAPPER GROUNDS CRUISER UTILITY VEHICLE
INTRODUCTION: These instructions cover the setup of the Snapper Grounds Cruiser utility vehicle. Complete each step carefully. A checklist has been provided. It is very important to verify and record each item on the list prior to placing the machine into service. The dry weight of the machine you are about to setup is 1,230 lb. It is strongly recommended that you use an overhead hoist when lifting the machine. The capacity of the device used for lifting must exceed the weight of the machine. DO NOT work on the machine until properly blocked and secured to prevent it from falling. If an overhead hoist is not available, you may have to remove boards from the crate bottom to gain access with floor type jacks.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance or service with the engine running. STOP engine. Set park brake. Shift transmission to neutral and remove key. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug and secure wire away from spark plug. Engine and components are HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow all parts to cool before working on machine.
STEP 1
INSTALL REAR TIRES
The machine is securely attached to the crate bottom at each wheel location. See Figure 1.1. The four steel plates must be removed before lifting the machine. The device used to lift the machine must have a capacity greater than 1230 lb. The cargo bed is attached to the frame of the machine with plastic straps. Carefully remove the straps and set the cargo bed aside for installation later.
