ASSEMBLY
1.
Check for any damage that may have occurred
during shipment. Advise factory immediately if
you see any damage. Remove the unit from the
crate by removing the top boards, then the
boards at the ends of the crate. Remove the tie
down straps and then remove any shipping
cartons.
2.
Tilt the seat forward to access the transaxle
release lever. (You may have to move the
steering column forward to tilt the seat forward).
Pull the lever towards the rear of the machine
and over in the slot (Picture 1).
3.
Release parking brake if applied. You should be
able to roll the machine out of the crate by
pushing on the rear bumper. DO NOT STAND IN
FRONT OF THE MACHINE WHILE ROLLING OUT OF
CRATE.
4.
Th
e NewRider™ 5000 is shipped without the
front bumper/spray head support attached. Align
the two holes in the bumper bracket with the
two holes in the frame. (The lifting lever/pedal
should be on the top side of the bumper and on
the right hand side as you face the machine).
5.
Insert the two ½” x 3-1/3” long bolts in the holes
from the front. Place one flat washer, one lock
washer and one hex nut on each bolt and tighten.
6.
Cut the tie that secures the lift lever lock spring to
the machine. Hook the bottom of the spring in the
loop on bottom of the bumper bracket.
7.
Connect battery. Tilt seat forward and connect the
ground cable to the negative side of the battery.
8.
Unpack spray head caster, spray gun mounting
bracket, spray gun and paint hose.
9.
Press on foot release for the spray head (lever on
the left side of the steering column) to lower the
spray head support tube Mount the spray head
caster assembly by sliding the caster arm onto the
spray head support tube and tighten bolts.
10.
The caster wheel may be adjusted to the left or
right so that the rear wheels will clear the striped
line when turning.
11.
Slide the spray gun mounting bracket over the
upright on spray head support tube and tighten
bolt. Adjusting the spray gun mounting bracket up
or down will adjust the spray width (Picture 3).
12.
Place the spray gun in the holder without the hose
attached and secure with the clamp (Picture 4).
13.
The spray gun may have to be moved forward or
backward in the clamp so that there is
approximately 1/8” of space between the trigger
and the lifting bar. This should also leave enough
room to push the trigger lock sideways.
14.
If the trigger lock will not move, release the gun
clamp and slide gun forward or backward until you
can push the trigger lock. NOTE: To release trigger
lock push the lock in from the right side (inside) of
the gun.
