1. VEHICLE PREP.
1.1 Remove both grab handles (one per side) (see fig. 1.1).
1.2 Remove, and discard the outer bolt and nut in each floorboard (see fig. 1.1).
1.3 Remove, and
save
two (2) plastic pins (per side) holding the floor mat down
(see fig. 1.1).
1.4 Tip driver’s seat forward.
1.5 Drill an oversized hole (3/8” dia.) thru plastic located behind seat and
shown in fig. 1.5. The drilled hole is to be exactly over the center of the
left weld nut. Transfer the hole location from the bottom up. (Note: take pre
cautions to avoid damaging the metric threads in the nuts welded below.)
( Suggestion: wedge plastic up in the air with a small piece of wood to keep
drill bit away from weld nut threads.) This hole will be used to fasten the rear
panel assembly in place (ref.: see fig. 2.3.1).
2. REAR PANEL ASSEMBLY
2.1 Pre-assemble lower rear panel, rear legs, and rear window support using a
total of eight (8) button head screws. (Note: the soft side version does not
have a rear window support). See fig. 2.1 for the all steel pre-assembly. To
attach the rear window support, use four 5/16” button head screws, steel
washers, and nylon washers. To attach the lower rear panel, use four 5/16”
button head screws, steel washers, nylon washers, and locknuts.
2.2 Install two (2) pieces of 1” round bulb rubber (28” long) on three (3) edges
per side as shown in fig. 2.1.
2.3 With assistance, and from the side of the tractor, place the pre-assembled unit
behind the seat and in between the roll bar uprights (see fig. 2.3). (Make sure
the rubber seal that will rest on top of the fenders is facing outwards.) Secure
the bottom of the rear panel (thru the newly drilled hole) to the left metric
weld nut already in place. (See fig. 2.3.1) Use a 6mm x 1.0 x 20mm long hex.
head bolt and 6mm flat washer from the hardware kit.
2.4 Secure the lower rear panel to the roll bar using the existing roll bar bolts as
shown in fig. 2.4. Attach the rear panel mounts to the rear panel with the
locknuts being on the inside of the cab. Use two button head screws, plastic
washers, steel washers, and locknuts.
