1. Relocate any obstructions on the frame that will be in the way of mounting the tire manipulator (TM).
2. Measure the inside of the frame rails and cut the frame support to this length. Ensure that the frame
supports have a tight fit between the frame rails.
3. Set the TM on the chassis and allow a minimum of 3” from the cab.
4. Make certain that the frame supports are installed square, cut to length in such a way as to support the
frame flanges with the tie down rods are torqued.
5. Install the TM tie downs. Start at one corner and tighten both tie downs to 200 ft-lbs. Move to the diagonal
set and tighten to 200 ft-lbs. Tighten the remaining 2 corners. Continue this pattern at 200 ft-lb increments
until 500-550 ft-lbs is achieved. Be sure the mounting block stays perpendicular to the frame rail as they are
tightened down.
6. Connect the pressure and return lines per the hydraulic kit.
7. Connect the electrical power and ground wires. Ground preferably connected to battery.
8. With the TM and outriggers in the stored position, check the reservoir for oil and fill if necessary.
9. Operate the TM for several cycles. Fully cycle the cylinder in both directions (blow past relief) to remove
any air from the system.
