Required Tools

• Standard Wrench Set
• Metric Wrench Set
• Adjustable Wrench

Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when assembling the GLM85B:

Set up the GLM85B on a solid, flat surface. A smooth, flatsurface under the machine helps keep it level. A level machine has fewer malfunctions.

Provide ample space around the machine. Open space around the machine allows for easier access.

Insert all bolts in the same direction. For aesthetic purposes, insert all bolts in the same direction unless specified (in text or illustrations) to do otherwise.

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.

Assembly Tips
Read all “Notes” on each page before beginning each step.

While you may be able to assemble the GLM85B using the illustrations only, important safety notes and other tips are included in the text.

Some pieces may have extra holes that you will not use.

Use only those holes indicated in the instructions and illustrations.

NOTE: With so many assembled parts, proper alignment and adjustment is critical. While tightening the nuts and bolts, be sure to leave room for adjustments.

CAUTION: Obtain assistance! If you feel like you can’t assemble the GLM85B by yourself then do not attempt to do so as this could result in injury. Review the installation requirements before proceeding with the following steps.
