1. Attach the Acre Meter Assembly to the front frame
tube using 5/8-11 U-Bolt and Locknuts. See
Figure 2-28. Attach the Acre Meter Switch to the
Acre Meter Bracket using #8-32 x 1-1/4" Screws, Flat
Washers, Lockwashers, and Hex Nuts. Attach the
short pickup switch ground wire under one of the
screw heads, removing paint under the wire
connector to assure a good electrical ground
connection. Do not tighten at this time. Set aside.

magnet wheel and pickup switch are horizontally and
vertically aligned with a maximum 1/8" between
magnet wheel and pickup switch. Now firmly tighten
all screws. See Figure 2-27
NOTE
Alignment of pickup switch and magnet wheel is critical.
Improper alignment will cause the acre counter to record
acres erratically or not at all.
5. Route the wire from the acre meter across the front
frame to the Acre Meter Switch and connect the
mating plugs.
6. Secure harness to existing light harness with tie
straps to prevent harness from rubbing or becoming
entangled. Install hose clamp into 1/2" hole in the
trunnion bearing plate with 3/8-16 x 1-1/4 bolt, flat
washer and locknut and nut.
