DEALER ASSEMBLY (Models AV20H,AV20E,AV20D,AV20G)

Root Grapples are shipped completely assembled.

NOTE: Check customer’s tractor and loader for remote hydraulic outlets mounted on the front of the loader.

If customer’s equipment does not have this option, then it will be necessary to install hydraulic lines to the hydraulic remote outlets at the rear of the tractor.

If customer’s tractor is not equipped with hydraulic remote outlets, then one pair must be installed.

Optional parking stands are available.Stands fit all models – order 5WS811395.

Model AV20H only – The Root Grapple is packaged with the hydraulic hoses coiled and tied to the hydraulic cylinder.

After removing the Model AV20H from the skid, untie the hydraulic hoses and remove the three 3/8”x 3”bolts from the formed channel hose guide.Locate the hoses into the channel and reinstall the three bolts.The channel holds the hoses so they will loop properly at the lower pivot point.

Remove 1/2”carriage bolt from the clevis on the stand bracket.Install the clevis over the 3 inch square Lower Main Frame tube.Replace the carriage bolt and tighten.
