Attach one 7/16"-20 x 9/16"-18 MALE O.R.B. CON- NECTOR to each of the retract ports (#7 & #10) and one 9/16"-18 x 9/16"-18 MALE O.R.B. - Page 8 A-frame. Secure the cylinder to the pivot beam with one 3/4" x 5" 9/16" CLEVIS PIN and one 1/4" x 1-1/2" cotter pin. Extend each cylinder rod until the cylinder base mounting hole aligns with the hole on the A-frame angle cylinder bracket. At this point, insert another clevis pin and secure it with a cotter pin.
- Page 9 Position the plates on either side of the lift/lower cylinder rod and insert the pin through the plates and cylinder rod. With the cylinder connected to the inner draw latch plates, rotate the draw latch assembly toward the draw latch mount holes on the A-frame.
