Install the bedbar, positioning the mounting ears
between the washer and the bedbar adjuster.
2.
Secure the bedbar to each side plate with the bedbar
bolts (nuts on bolts) and 6 washers.
Note:
Position a nylon washer on each side of
side-plate boss. Place a steel washer outside each of the
nylon washers (
).
3.
Torque the bedbar bolts to 27 to 36 N∙m (240 to 320

Note:
Tighten the locknuts until the outside steel
washer stops rotating and end play is removed, but do
not overtighten or deflect the side plates. The washers
on the inside may have a gap.
