12. Next, secure the manifold to the A-frame. Remove both 3/8" flat
washers, 3/8" split lock washers and 3/8"-16 x 1-1/4" hex head cap
screws from the manifold and align the mount holes with the A-frame
brackets. Position the DIODE PACK MOUNT BRACKET against the
outside of the A-frame bracket on the driver's side. Note: Both of the
prongs should be facing up. Align the outside hole on the diode bracket
with the holes on the A-frame and manifold. Properly replace and
tighten all hardware. Note: A medium strength threadlocker, such as
Loctite® 242® should be used to secure the manifold mount fasteners.
13. Hook each EXTENSION SPRING to the receiving holes located on
the pivot beam and connect the opposite end of the spring to their
respective SPADE BOLTS. Install the 5/8"-11 x 6-3/8" spade bolts
through the EXTENSION SPRING MOUNTING ANGLE on the top rear
of the blade. Secure each spade bolt by placing one 5/8" flat washer
on the bolt and thread one 5/8"-11 nylon insert lock nut. Tighten each
lock nut until a piece of paper can pass between the 3th & 4th coils
on the spring.
14. Install the flexible BLADE GUIDES at each end of the moldboard.
Insert the 5/16"-18 x 1" hex head cap screw through the holes at the
top of the wing reinforcement rib. Tighten all screws using the nylon
insert lock nuts provided.
