Use the number, (Distance Frame to Bed Edge), arrived at in
the equation above and the tape measure and adjust the posi-
tion of the Unit Arm Frames so that they are exactly parallel
with the edge of the bed and exactly the distance from the bed
edge the entire length of the frames. With the permanent
marker mark the bed through the outside rear frame mounting
hole and the inside front frame mounting hole.
Next, with the unit positioned, measure the distance from the
outer edge of the front arms to the outer edge of the front arm.
The distance should be 85 1/2” within an inch.
NOTE: Make use of the tape measure. The time to measure is far exceeded by the time to correct an in-
stallation error. You cannot measure too many times.
Once it is determined that both of the Unit Frames are cor-
rectly positioned, use a 5/16” bit to drill a hole through the
marked rear outside Unit Frame mounting hole and loosely
secure with the 5/16x4” bolt, washer and nut. Use the tape
measure and recheck the alignment of the front of the Unit
Frame equidistant from the flat bed edge. Through the Unit
Frame mounting hole on the front inside of the Unit Frame
drill through the Unit Frame mounting hole and bed then
loosely secure with the 5/16” bolt, washer and nuts. Repeat
these steps on the Unit Frame on the other side of the flat bed.
Recheck all your measurements:
•
End of arm to the cab (minimum 3”)
•
Outer edge of Unit Frame and flat bed edge both sides
•
Distance from outer arm to outer arm in front
