INSTALLATION & USE OF OPTIONAL DIAMOND PLATE KIT (continued…)
The optional diamond plate kit (PN: 20-8000) is used on heavy duty springs, or where the assembly is not able
to be properly installed into the unit using the upper and lower claw hooks.
Double check that the diamond plate is drawn
tight to the upper arms using the vertical
adjustment knobs.
Install a double claw hook on each of the lower
two arms.
Position the strut assembly onto the lower arms
using the vertical adjustment knobs to orient the
strut assembly in a vertical position.
If the strut assembly has studs that do not align
with a pattern in the diamond plate, install the
diamond plate stud spacers over the studs on the
strut assembly.
Slowly raise the strut into position with the
compressor and once the top end (or stud
spacers) contacts the diamond plate, verify that
both lower double claw hooks are contacting the
spring.
Install (4) custom placement pins to secure the
top end of the assembly & prevent it from moving
under compression.
Compress the strut assembly.
Position the strut support weldment (third hand)
under the assembly to hold it in place.
Remove the fastener from the top of the unit and
lower the strut compressor relieving the spring.
Reverse steps to reassemble.
