Product Assembly - Preassembly Tips - GT
PREASSEMBLY TIP #1 – “Stage Right”.
During the assembly process we will be stating Right, Left, Front, Back, Top, or Bottom. These
all are in the perspective of the user in the machine facing outward with feet on the ground.
See below images as examples.
PREASSEMBLY TIP #2 – Unpackaging & organizing.
PREASSEMBLY TIP #3 – Keep hardware loose until asked to tighten.
During the assembly, hardware needs to be finger tight until the STEPS of “Torque Time”. This will
ensure sub-frame and other parts will easily fit together and not strip out bolt threads during assembly.
17
The best practice in assembly is to take all the
parts out of the boxes & bags and line up in order
of assembly. This enables a mindset of what you
will be assembling, their physical sizes and what
challenges you might face BEFORE you begin.

● Securely hold the frame and keep moving parts from
coming loose during operation.
● Keep from crushing the frame.
● Avoid stripping the threads on either the bolts or nuts.
● Allow moving parts to adjust freely per the designed intent.
