20 Flex36 Owner’s Manual
1. Clear the truck frame.
2. Set the Flex on the truck frame.
a. The front plate of the base needs to be at least 2” behind the cab or any equip-
ment mounted behind the cab.
b. Be sure to square the Flex on the truck frame.
c. Take a visual and look for any potential issues. For example: Clearance problems,
cross members extending too high, insufficient room in front of the Flex for tarpers,
exhaust manifolds, etc, or insufficient room in the rear to allow for bumper selec-
tion. Feel free to space up if needed.
3. Shorten the truck frame to within 2” from the rear of the loader.
4. Install bumper.
a. See Government Regulations for acceptable placement.
5. Install tie down channels. (See corresponding Mounting Kit Drawing in this chapter)
a. Move anything on the truck frame that may be in the way of the tie down chan-
nels.
b. Place a tie down channel on either side of the base, within 2” of the front plate.
c. Place a tie down channel on either side of the base, within 7” of the rear of the
hooklift.
d. The final channels should be placed in the approximate position shown in the cor-
responding mounting diagram. The top of the lower channel should be flush with
the top of the chassis frame rail.
e. Using the channels as a guide, drill six (6) 11/16” holes through the truck frame.
(Note: For Flex36 Model 60-8, you only need to drill four (4) holes.)
f. Using 5/8” bolts, washers, and nuts, secure all tie down channels to the truck
frame. All bolts should be torqued to 160 ft-lbs.
h. Weld the upper tie down channels to the hooklift base. Use 5/8” washers to
space the channels up. Remove washers when finished.
g. Using 5/8” bolts, washers, and nuts, fasten two (2) tie-down channels together with
the narrow faces toward each other. Do this with all of the channels.
6. Install tarper tower (If applicable).
a. See brand specific installation instructions.
