ASSEMBLY
STEP 1: INSTALL TWO BOLTS
(SEE FIGURE 1)
• Assemble two 3/8" x 1-1/4" hex bolts (D) and 3/8" hex
nuts (Q), threading the nut all the way onto the bolt
until it is tight against the head of the bolt.
• Install a nut/bolt assembly into the bucket assembly
and fasten using a 3/8" nylock nut (R). Tighten.
Repeat for the other side.
STEP 2: INSTALL PIN STOP BRACKET
(SEE FIGURE 1)
• Install the pin stop bracket to the top of the bucket
assembly using four 5/16" x 1" hex bolts (F), eight
5/16" washers (EE) and four 5/16" nylock nuts (T).
Leave the bolts loose enough that the position of the
pin stop bracket can be adjusted later.
STEP 3: INSTALL LIFT FRAME ASSEMBLY
(SEE FIGURE 2)
• Apply grease to the mounting surface of the bucket
assembly and the inside of the lift frame arms.
• Assemble the lift frame assembly to the bucket
assembly using two 5/8" x 1-1/2" hex bolts (A) and
5/8" nylock nuts (M). Tighten, then loosen the nuts
1/4 turn, or until the lift frame pivots freely.
