Setup
Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
Installing the Coupler Assembly
1.
Lay the left and right blades face down so that the hinge bushings align and the blade edges are even.
2.
Position the coupler assembly on top of both blades so that all the bushings align and the center section
hinge bushing is inserted between the blade hinge bushings.
3.
Insert the center hinge pin through the bushings.
4.
Secure the center using 1 bolt (3/8-16 x 1 inch) and 1 locknut (3/8 inch).
5.
Secure each end of the cylinders to the cylinder mounts located on the blades using 2 hex-head bolts
(1/2-13 x 3-1/2 inches) and 2 locknuts (1/2 inch).
