3. Weld the mount brackets to the hoist mainframe as indicated on Figures C and D. You
may need to modify the mount brackets or add shim plates to allow for variances in the
width of the truck chassis as well as to allow for top rivets, stepped channels, etc.
Note: Prior to any welding, consult the truck manufacturer for any special
precautions that may need to be taken. Typically the batteries must be disconnected
and the ground lead from the welder should be connected as close as possible to the
part being welded to avoid the possibility of arching across bearings, gears, etc.
Note: The hoist mainframe is made from high strength low alloy steel. Use an
appropriate welding process.
