Installing the Full Bed
CAUTION
The full bed weighs approximately 148 kg (325 lb),
so do not try to install or remove it by yourself. Use
an overhead hoist or get the help of 2 or 3 other
people.
Note: If the bed sides will be installed on the flat bed, it is
easier to install them before installing the bed on the vehicle.
1. Carefully set the bed onto the vehicle frame aligning
the rear bed pivot plate holes with the holes in the rear
frame channel and install 2 clevis pins and lynch pins
(Figure 25).
2. On each side of the machine, secure the bed mounting
bracket to the frame bracket with the flange head bolt
and flange nut previously removed (Figure 24)

Raising the Machine
DANGER
A machine on a jack may be unstable and slip off of
the jack, injuring anyone beneath it.
• Do not start the machine while the machine is
on a jack.
• Always remove the key from the switch before
getting off of the machine.
• Block the tires when the machine is on a jack.
•
Do not start the engine while the machine is on a jack,
because the engine vibration or wheel movement could
cause the machine to slip off the jack.
•
Do not work under the machine without jack stands
supporting it. The machine could slip off a jack, injuring
anyone beneath it.
•
When jacking up the front of the vehicle, always place a 2
x 4 block (or similar material) between the jack and the
machine frame.
•
The jacking point at the front of the machine is under the
front center frame support (Figure 26) and at the rear it is
under the axle (Figure 27).
