5.
Clean excess grease and paint from around top of
pivot shaft (#7) and inside of pivot hole in main frame.
6.
Rotate mainframe (#3) to the left to align Z-bracket
(#14) located beneath mainframe with slot in turn
table and lower rear hole in mainframe over pivot
shaft (#7).
7.
Once mainframe is fully onto pivot shaft, rotate
mainframe until hole “A” in turntable is aligned with
hole “B” in mainframe. Make sure Z-bracket (#14)
under mainframe is positioned under turntable.
8.
Attach drive pivot cap (#6) and pivot cap (#5) to pivot
shaft (#7) with 3/4"-10 x 1 1/2" GR5 hex flange
screw (#8). Tighten screw to the correct torque.
9.
Insert 1" bent pin (#13) through holes “B” and “A”.
10. Rotate parking stand (#4) down and secure with wire
snap locking pin (#12). Make certain wire snap is
fastened over end of pin to retain pin.

CAUTION
Always check to make certain pivot retaining cap screw is in
place before making adjustments to the rake. If pivot retaining
cap screw is missing, the rake will fall off during adjustment.
