Do not try to lower bed with bed safety support
on cylinder.
Removing the Full Bed
1. Start the engine. Engage the hydraulic lift lever and
lower the bed until the cylinders are loose in the
slots. Release the lift lever and turn off the engine.
2. Remove the lynch pins from the outer ends of the
cylinder rod clevis pins (Figure 35).

3. Remove the clevis pins securing the cylinder rod
ends to the bed mounting plates by pushing the pins
towards the inside (Figure 36).
4. Remove the lynch pins and clevis pins securing the
pivot brackets to the frame channels (Figure 36).
5. Lift the bed off of the vehicle.
The full bed weighs approximately 325 lb (147.5
kg), so do not try to install or remove it by
yourself. Use an overhead hoist or get the help
of two or three other people.
6. Store the cylinders in the storage clips. Engage the
hydraulic lift lock lever on the vehicle to prevent
accidental extension of the lift cylinders.
Installing the Full Bed
Note:
If the bed sides will be installed on the flat bed,
it is easier to install them before installing the bed on
the vehicle.
Note:
Ensure that the rear pivot plates are bolted to
the bed frame/channel so that lower end angles to the
rear (Figure 36).
