Genesis GSD Grapple 15
Preparation of the excavator prior to attachment delivery will make installation safer and
easier. Contact Genesis or your Genesis dealer for assistance.
Curl the excavator stick under so the bottom of the stick is facing upward.
Use the mounting dimensions provided on your installation drawing to locate the correct place-
ment of the stabilizer pad on the bottom of the stick. The stabilizer pad must be centered on and
parallel to the stick.
Before Welding:
Disconnect battery ground cables or shut off master bat-
tery switch to avoid damage to the excavator’s onboard
computer systems. Connect welding ground clamp directly
to the parts being welded. Connecting to any other area
may cause arcing between moving parts such as bearings
or cylinder parts.
Weld the pad to the stick using E7018 low hydrogen elec-
trode or equivalent. Weld per instructions provided on your
Installation Drawing.
Install the stabilizer arm to the pad in the factory recom-
mended position.
