following instructions will need to be done by the
dealer before delivery.

1-inch bolts (1), flat washers, lock washers, and
nuts.
2. Remove the pins from the hinges (2) where the
center frame is locked to the wings.
3. Use the pins to secure the base ends of the fold
cylinders (3) to the tongue.
4. The hydraulic hoses should be attached to and
run through the tongue. See “Hydraulic
Diagrams” beginning on page 66 for connecting
the hoses.
