INSTALL BODY GUIDES
Two body guides have been included and should be mounted near the front of the subframe. Clamp the
body guides to the outside of the subframe as shown in Fig. 12. The body guide should be tight against the
outside of the longbeams of the body. Securely weld the body guides to the subframe.
2. Raise the prop arm to a free standing position by allowing the prop arm to rest against the
rear flange of the prop pivot. The top of the prop arm will swing in under the longbeam.
4. To operate the body prop, raise the body to the desired height, shut off all power, raise the
prop arm to a free standing position. Lower the body slowly until the longbeam bracket
contacts the prop arm saddle. DO NOT POWER HOIST DOWN!
5. To place the body prop in the storage position, raise the body to clear the body prop sad-
dle, lower the body prop to the storage position and lower the body.
3. Slowly lower the body until the bottom of the longbeam rests on the body prop saddle.
Place the longbeam bracket against the outside of the longbeam so the legs straddle the
prop arm saddle. Securely weld this bracket to the body. (See Fig. 11.)
INSTALL BODY PROP BRACKET ON BODY LONGBEAM
The body prop is designed and intended to support an EMPTY truck body in the raised position. Using the
body prop permits service work to be performed safely beneath a raised body. It is mounted on the outside
of the subframe on the driver’s side.

INSTALL GREASE ZERKS AND LUBRICATE HOIST
Install grease zerks on the hoist and lubricate the hoist in the following locations:
Upper Crosstube .............................................................2 Fittings
Lower Crosstube ............................................................2 Fittings
Cylinder Base Pivot .......................................................1 Fitting
Rear Hinge ......................................(already installed) 2 Fittings
Body Prop ........................................(already installed) 1 Fitting
Lubricate all fittings at regular intervals, at least each time the truck chassis is lubricated. There are ex
-
tremely high forces on the bearings surfaces within the hoist frame. It pays to be generous in lubricating
the hoist to insure proper operation and long life.
The center hinge and the cylinder crosshead do not need to be greased. These pivot points are equipped
with self lubricating composite bearings that do not need lubrication.
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON REASONS FOR HOIST PROBLEMS IS FAILURE BY THE OPERA-
TOR TO LUBRICATE THE HOIST.
INSTALL DECALS
After the body and hoist have been installed and painted, install the decals in the following locations:
1. Decal 1642842 Mount in the cab above the valve control.
(400640)
2. Decal 1642848 Mount on the body longbeam near the body prop. (one on each side)
(400719)
3. Decal 1642846 Mount on the body prop arm.
(400661)
4. Decal 1643067 Mount on the outside of the body longbeams near the front of the body.
(401576) (one on each side).
5. Decal 1642844 Mount on the body longbeam on the drivers side.
(400643)
6. Decal 1643068 Mount in the cab in a prominent location.
(401577)
7. Decal 1642843 Mount in the cab in a prominent location.
