Follow these installation requirements when assembling the GCLP100:

• Set up the GCLP100 on a solid, flat surface. A smooth, flatsurface under the machine helps keep it level. A level machine has fewer malfunctions.

• Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners such as bolts, nuts, and screws so the unit is stable, but leave room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners until instructed in the assembly steps to do so.
• Fill out and mail the warranty card.
