UNIT ASSEMBLY & MOUNTING (cont.)
HOSE SUPPORT BOOM ASSEMBLY:
•
Attach upper boom member (#14) to lower boom pipe (#13) so that upper boom extends out at an
upward angle. Secure with two ½ x 1-1/4” hex bolts, lock washers and nuts (#15).
•
Lower bottom of lower boom pipe through hole in support bracket on side of discharge elbow and
onto boom pivot rod, located on top of unit housing.
•
Slip on end of support chain (#12) into hole in end of upper boom member. Slip other end through
eye of hose support band and hook to link in center of chain. After mounting, adjust chain so that
nozzle rests approximately 12” from the ground.
A NOTE ABOUT DEBRIS BOXES:
•
The Giant-Vac Tailgate Truck Loader is designed to be used in conjunction with a leaf receiver
box. Debris should not be discharged into an open bed, as injury and/or damage may result. A
simple truck-bed-fitted debris box may be constructed with plywood sides and front (3/4” exterior is
recommended), reinforced with angle iron corners, a hinged and latched plywood dump door with
a rubber-aproned cut-out for insertion of the discharge chute, and a mesh screen top to allow for
adequate ventilation. Be sure that the height of the box extends approximately 8-12” higher than
the top of the discharge chute to prevent excessive blow-by.
UNIT MOUNTING
Caution: Before mounting the Giant-Vac Tailgate Truck Loader to the tailgate of the transport
vehicle, it is recommended that the tailgate be reinforced with ¾” plywood to prevent damage
to the tailgate.
Caution: Individuals should not attempt mounting the Tailgate Truck Loader without
assistance. Serious injury may result.
Caution: Be sure truck tailgate is securely locked before mounting truck loader. Failure to do
so may result in serious injury or damage.
•
Lifting the unit so that the holder arms clear the top of the tailgate, butt the rear of the unit against
the tailgate and lower into place, hooking the rear holder arms onto the inside of the tailgate.
Tighten the rear holder arm bolts, making sure the rear holder arms are facing downward.
•
Tighten the pusher rods until the front pusher plates clamp the unit securely to the tailgate.
