Assembling the Bedbar
1. Install the bedbar, positioning the mounting ears
between the washers and the bedbar-adjusting
screw (
Figure 13 ).
2. Secure the bedbar to each side plate with the
bedbar bolts (nuts on bolts) and 3 washers (6
total).
3. Position a nylon washer on each side of the
side-plate boss. Place a steel washer outside
each of the nylon washers (
Figure 15 ).
4. Torque the bedbar bolts to 27 to 36 N∙m (240 to
320 inch-lb).
5. Tighten the locknuts until you remove the end
play from steel washers, but you are able to
rotate them by hand. The washers on the inside
may have a gap.
Important:
Do not overtighten the locknuts
or they will deflect the side plates.
6. Tighten the spring tension nut until the spring is
collapsed, then back it off 1/2 turn (
Figure 16 ).
