WELD REAR HINGE AND SUB-

FRAME

Make sure the body/hoist assembly or hoist/

subframe assembly is correctly located, cen-

tered on and square with the truck frame. Se

-

curely weld the mounting plates to the sub-

frame. Add a plate (not supplied) to the end 

of the truck frame rail. (See Fig. 3.) Securely 

weld the plates to the end of the truck frame 

rails and to the back end of the subframe. Do 

this on both sides.

HYDRAULIC PUMPS

Crysteel offers two different hydraulic systems for use with the Model LB520 Hoist. Mounting instruc

-

tions can be found on the pages shown:

MOUNT GEAR PUMP

The gear pump has an SAE `A’ mounting configuration, an 11-tooth splined shaft and a two-bolt mounting 

flange, and is assembled for counterclockwise rotation. Note: This pump will mount directly to Chelsea’s 

output type `AD’ or Muncie’s output type `T’. Crysteel Manufacturing recommends a PTO ratio of 100-

120%. This assures a minimum pump operating speed of 600 RPM. CHECK THE ROTATION OF THE 

PTO! If it is opposite of the engine, then the pump can be used as it is. If the PTO rotation is the same as 

the engine, then the pump will need to be reversed. (See instructions included with the pump.) Bolt the 

gear pump to the PTO output flange using 3/8 x 1” cap screws and lock washers.

The optional 6 GPM gear pump has an SAE `B’ mounting configuration, a 13 tooth splined shaft and a 

four-bolt mounting flange, and is assembled for rotation in either direction. NOTE: This pump will mount 

directly to Chelsea’s output type `XK’ or Muncie’s output type `D’. Crysteel Manufacturing recommends 

a PTO ratio of 100-120%. This assures a minimum pump operating speed of 600 RPM. Bolt the gear pump 

to the PTO output flange using 1/2 x 1 1/4 cap screws and lock washers.

fere with any portion of the body or hoist operation.

MOUNT RESERVOIR/VALVE ASSEMBLY

The reservoir/valve assembly should be mounted on the same side of the truck as the pump and as high as 

possible for reliable pump performance. The slotted end of the valve spool should be towards the front of 

the truck so the valve control cable can be easily connected. The mounting brackets for the reservoir/valve 

assembly can be used to mount the reservoir/valve assembly outside the truck frame or inside between 

the truck frame rail and the driveshaft. Determine where to mount the reservoir/valve assembly and bolt 

the mounting brackets to the reservoir/valve assembly using 3/8 x 1 cap screws, flat washers and hex lock 

nuts. Locate the reservoir/valve assembly and clamp the mounting brackets to the truck frame. See Fig. 

4. If inside the truck frame, make sure there is enough clearance for the drive line and hot exhaust pipes. 

THE ENGINE EXHAUST MUST NEVER BLOW DIRECTLY ONTO THE RESERVOIR/VALVE AS-

SEMBLY. Insert the spacers in the mounting brackets and mark the truck frame for drilling using the pump 

mounting brackets as guides




CAUTION: BE CAREFUL OF BRAKELINES, WIRING, ETC. INSIDE THE 

TRUCK FRAME WHEN DRILLING THE TRUCK FRAME.

INSTALL  REMOTE  VALVE  CONTROL

Temporarily assemble the valve control head to the pedestal using 5/16 x 2 1/4” machine screws and hex 

nuts. Place this assembly on the floor of the cab. Make sure there is enough room to operate the valve con

-

trol and the gear shift lever and to adjust the seat. Check below the floor for obstructions and cable routing. 

Relocate the valve control if necessary. Mark the floor using the pedestal as a template and drill 1/4” holes 

for the mounting screws and a 3/4” hole for the control cable. Assemble the control cable to the valve 

control head and assemble the valve control head and cover to the pedestal using 5/16 x 2 1/4” cap screws 

and hex lock nuts. Insert the control cable through the hole in the floor and mount the pedestal to the floor 

using 5/16 x 1/2 machine screws and hex lock nuts. Make sure the valve control lever is in its center detent 

position. Keep the control cable away from hot exhaust pipes and rotating drive shafts. The control cable 

should not have any sharp bends or kinks in it (these will make the control harder to operate).

Install the 3/4” hex jam nut onto the valve end of the control cable and turn it past the threads. Insert the
