ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Frame and Hitch Assembly
IMPORTANT
Read all safety precautions at the front of the section
before attempting any of the following procedures.
For 33'-35' units, bolt the two center frame halves
together using 5/8"x 2" bolt and locknuts.
1. Place the center frame assembly on stands
approximately 36" high. The assembly area should
be a large level area of sufficient size to
accommodate the finisholl when fully assembled.
2. Install or reposition any shanks and extensions that
may have been turned around for shipping.
3. For 33'-35' units, slide the main lift assembly under
the center frame. Install the three plastic lift bearings
in between the bearing locators on the main lift.
Insert a plastic lift bearing into each of the end
bearing caps, and slide the end bearing caps on
each end of the main lift. Raise the main lift assembly
into the center frame assembly and secure the inner
and outer lift bearing mounts with 5/8 x 2 bolts and
locknuts. Make sure the lift is still able to turn after all
bolts have been tightened.
4. Connect the rod end of each master lift cylinder to
the mounting ears on the main lift.
5. Attach the rear mount of the depth control tube to the
mounting ear on the main lift using 3/8 x 1-1/4 bolts
and locknuts..
Do not attempt to lift heavy parts (such as the
frame, rock shaft, and pull hitch) manually. Use a
hoist or a fork lift to move these parts into
position.
6. Attach the rear of the hitch to the front of the center
frame using 1-7/16 x 8 pins, machine bushings, and
1/2 x 2-1/4 spring pins.
7. Install the tongue jack in the forward mounting tube
and rotate to parking position to support the front of
the hitch.
8. Attach the rear of the leveler spring assembly to the
mounts on the main lift using a 1-1/4 x 10 leveler pin,
a leveler pin keeper, 3/4 x 2-1/4 bolt, and locknut.
9. Adjust the radius rod assembly to approximately
83-1/2 hole centers. Visible threads at the top and
bottom of the radius rod should be nearly equal.
Fasten the radius rod assembly to front of the hitch
and top of the pivot link with 1-1/4 x 8 bolts,
flatwashers, locknuts, and hex nuts. Use flatwashers
on each side of the radius rod to remove any slack
between the mounting ears.

WARNING
10. Insert a 3/4-10 x 7 hex head cap screw into the hose
holder tube on the right side of the hitch from the
bottom side so the threads point upward. Hold in
place with a 3/4 prevailing torque flange nut with the
flange pointing upward as well. Do not tighten this
cap screw, so the hose holder bracket may pivot
freely in this joint.
11. Slide the hose holder bracket over the screw and
secure with another 3/4 prevailing torque flange nut.
12. Install a 3/8-16 x 3-1/2 all-thread screw in the front of
the hose holder bracket and secure with a 3/8-16 hex
nut. Insert the bolt from the bottom so the threads
point upward.
13. Slide the hose holder clamp over the 3/8" screw and
loosely start the wing nut on top of the clamp.
Hydraulic hoses will be routed through the clamp
after assembly.
NOTE
The clamp has two sides, so that extend hoses can be
located on one side and retract hoses can be located on
the other side for reference.
Center Frame Tire Installation
1. Install any hub and spindle assemblies into the main
lift assembly that may have been removed for
shipping. Use 7/16 x 4 bolts and locknuts for 2-1/4
spindles and 1/2 x 5 bolts and locknuts for 3 spindles.
2.
Install the tire and wheel assemblies on the center
frame. 320/70 R15 on 19'-25' units, and
380/55Rx16.5 tires on 27'-35' units.
3. Remove the transport locks from the storage position
and install over the master lift cylinder rods. Install
the lock pins to secure the transport locks in place.
4. Install any fold cylinder mounts to the center frame
using u-bolts and 5/8 locknuts.
5. Install the wing stabilizers to the center frame using
u-bolts and 5/8 locknuts.
Wing Frames
1. Assemble the wing frame assemblies to the center
frame using 1-1/2 x 10 pins, 1-1/4 x 6-1/8 pins,
washers, and 5/16 x 2-1/2 roll pins. Use two washers
between the front center and wing frame hinge.
Check to make sure the flange bearings have already
been installed in the hinges.
2. Connect the rod end of each wing cylinder to the
mount on each wing lift.
3. Install the hub and spindle assemblies on the wing
frames. Use 7/16 x 4 bolts and locknuts for 2-1/4
spindles and 1/2 x 5 bolts and locknuts for 3 spindles.
