ground before removing lifting device. Always keep feet and
other extremities clear of areas where components can fall.

Position mounting bracket (#3) with ears pointing
forward as shown and attach to underside of
mainframe (#2) with two 3/8"-16 x 1" GR5 hex flange
serrated screws (#11) and hex flange locknuts (#16).
Tighten locknuts to the correct torque.
2. Attach park stand (#4) to mounting bracket (#3) with
3/8"-16 x 3" GR5 bolt (#13) and hex flange locknut
(#16). Draw locknut up snug, do not tighten.
3. Rotate park stand (#4) down and secure with wire
snap locking pin (#23). Make certain wire snap is
fastened over end of pin to retain pin.
4. Remove hex flange cap screw (#25), pivot cap (#5),
drive pivot cap (#6), and pivot bushing (#24), from
rake pivot shaft (#7).
