Clamp the mounting angles/brackets tightly to the frame. Be sure that the clearances and cut-outs are correct. Locate
and drill holes per the recommendations in the chart on the previous page and bracket drawings in the fixing section on
page 12 of this manual.
NOTE:
Bolt holes in mounting structures must be drilled, not burned. Holes should not be oversized more than 1 mm to ensure
a snug fit for bolts. Use a minimum of bolts accordnig to the guide on previous page per mounting angle or bracket.
Also locate bolts within 25 mm to 38 mm of each end of the mounting angle/bracket. Do the same for the edge of each
cut out deeper than 25 mm.
Attach the mounting angle/bracket using BS/ ISO/DIN Grade 10.9 (SAE Grade 8) quality bolts, Grade C lock nuts and a
hardened washer under each lock nut. The bolts must have a diameter of M16 (5/8”) minimum for 15t cells and M12 (3/8")
for 7.5t cells and sufficient length to provide a minimum of 3 threads past the end of the lock nut. Tighten all bolts to the
proper torque value listed in the table on page 12. When welding brackets to non-heat treated frames, use a low hydrogen
process and AWS E7018 rod or equivalent. Check the lengths of all connections for items that have been moved during
the installation of the mounting angles/brackets. These connections may include battery cables, fuel lines, air lines, and
electrical cables.
