Optional: Universal Crank Lock Bracket
Procedure: (See Figure 16-17)
Assemble the spring lock bracket shown below. Bolt the vertical supports (A) to the middle supports (B), (If Crank Style)
Bolt steel retainers (C) and plastic spring retainers (D) with a 3/8"x1-1/2" hex bolts, flat washer and nylon nut. Bolt the
horizontal supports (E) to the mounting brackets (F) and the middle supports (B) with 3/8" bolts and nylon lock nuts. Do
not tighten bolts until it’s fully installed on the cart. Depending on your cart the mounting bracket will lag into the grain
tank wall or into support tubing’s. If it is mounting into support tubing’s determine the width and bolt together the middle
supports to achieve your desired width. If it is mounting into the wall then set it so it’s about 24" between the vertical
supports. Center the bracket on the back of the cart and mark your holes. Drill 5/16" holes at your marks and secure the
bracket to the cart with 3/8"x1-1/4" self-tapping bolts. With vertical supports secured rotate the horizontal supports up
and lag the mounting brackets to the cart with 3/8"x1-1/4" self-tapping bolts. You may need to shorten the horizontal
supports. Tighten all the bolts on the bracket with steel retainers on an angle shown here (If Crank Style).
On Electric Units the Pivot Arm will attach to this bracket as per instruction manual.
Step 9: Crank & Crank Lock Installation
(See Figure 18)
Procedure: With the tarp roll hanging under the locking flange, slide the rear beveled pulley stamped FRONT REVERSE
(A) onto the roll-tube with the small flange sliding on first. Slide the universal joint (B) and shaft onto the spline (C) so
that the end of the crank is on the outside of the box by approximately 1ft (see Figure 15).Insert quick pin (D) through
the universal joint. Pull the crank towards the box where the spring lock bracket (E) is mounted. Note: The crank handle
should have approximately 30 lbs. of force applied to it. If there is not enough force applied to the crank handle then
the position of the universal joint must be altered.
Adjust the length of the crank handle (F) and drill a 1/4" hole through the crank shaft and handle. Fasten the crank
handle to the shaft with the 1/4"x1-3/4" hex bolt and 1/4" nylon lock nut provided.
