NOTE: To locate your nearest Ariens Dealer, go to www.ariens.com on the internet. To locate your nearest Gravely Dealer, go to www.gravely.com on the internet. 3. Review control functions and operation of the unit. Do not operate unit unless all controls function as described in this manual. 4. Review recommended lubrication, maintenance and adjustments. WARNING: Improper assembly or adjustments can cause serious injury. 5.
Check for weak spots on docks, ramps or floors. Avoid uneven work areas and rough terrain. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. DO NOT operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. Unit can suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in. Data indicates that operators, age 60 and above, are involved in a larger percentage of riding mower related injuries.
Understand: • How to operate all controls Take all possible precautions when leaving unit unattended. Shut off engine. Remove wire from spark plug and secure it away from spark plug. ALWAYS remove key to prevent unauthorized use. Know the weight of loads. Limit loads to those you can safely control and the unit can safely handle. Disengage PTO when attachment is not in use. ALWAYS turn off power to attachment when travelling, crossing driveways, etc. Mow up and down slopes, not across them.
NEVER fill or drain fuel tank indoors. Replace fuel cap securely and clean up spilled fuel. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling. When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

1. Remove the front footrest. There are two 1/2 x 1.75" and 5/16 x .75" round head square neck bolts that secure the footrest to the chassis. The 1/2 x 1.75" bolts and metal spacers are held on the footrest by two 1/2" push nuts. Twist or cut off the push nuts to remove. Save the spacers and discard all other hardware. See Figure 4. 3 2. Lay the footrest onto the back of the weight tray (similar profile).
2. Use the red footrest (item 25) that is included in the kit, and lay the footrest onto the back of the weight tray (similar profile). It may be helpful to have the weight tray laying upside down on the ground when mating it to the footrest. Install two 1/2 x 2" bolts (item 9) thru the front of the weight tray and footrest. Slide the two spacers (from step 1) over the bolts and secure with push nuts (item 11). Secure the push nuts as tight as possible. See Figure 4. Front Deck Post 3.
