A. Lift the DRIVERS side arm up and slide the base end of the arm into the BASE ARM/GEAR 
ASSEMBLY. Bolt the Arm to the BASE ARM/GEAR ASSEMBLY using -2- 1/2-13 x 3 1/2” 
long bolts, lock washers and nuts (provided)for the horizontal holes and -1- 1/2-13 x 4 1/2” long 
bolt, lock washer and nut (provided)for the vertical hole. Tighten securely. 
 
B. Install the PASSENGERS side arm into the BASE ARM/GEAR ASSEMBLY in the same 
way as was done for the DRIVERS side arm. 
 
C. Install the ARM EXTENSIONS into the BASE ARM. 
 
D. Install the STABILIZER BAR between the arms using -4- 5/16-18 x 2 1/4” long bolts and 
locknuts (provided). 
 
E. Install the LOW ARM RESTS on to the bottom of the ROLL BASE by welding. The 
STABILIZER BAR should rest on these in the UNCOVERED position. Locate them as far 
outboard as possible without interfering with the TARP or ARMS. 
 
F. Slide the ARM EXTENSIONS out so that the STABILIZER BAR will be able to rest in the 
LOW ARM RESTS. Drill through the BASE ARMS and ARM EXTENSIONS and bolt 
together, using the 1/2-13 x 2 1/2” bolts (provided). Be sure that the right and left arm assemblies 
are identical in length, and are parallel and square.

A. Follow the hydraulic schematic and install the FLOW DIVERTER into the pressure line that 
runs from the pump to the hoist controls. The inlets to the FLOW DIVERTER are #16 SAE. The 
outlet from the FLOW DIVERTER that goes to the hoist control inlet is also #16 SAE. 
1/2” Hydraulic Hoses with reusable fittings and adapters are provided for you to make the 
connections from; the Priority side of the FLOW DIVERTER to the Inlet Side of the COVER 
CONTROL VALVE, and a return line from the COVER CONTROL VALVE to TANK. 
The FLOW DIVERTER may be hard plumbed directly to the pump or the hoist valve, or it can 
be remotely mounted to a bracket.
