9. With the car right side up, dry fit the End Platforms to the top of the Span Bolsters. The two pins
on the bottom of the End Platform will fit into the holes on the Span Bolster. There will be about
1/16 inch gap between the end platform and the raised edge of the coupler box. The
Platform should be level front to back and side to side.
10. Add CA to the bottom of the center part of the End Platform and place on the Span Bolster
with light pressure for 8 Seconds.
11. Flip the car over once more and place on the box used previously.
12. Place the ¼ inch screw through the Coupler Cover and
though a Coupler, and insert into the hole in the coupler
box.
13. Turn the screw counter clockwise (loosening) while
applying a little pressure to the screw until you feel a
bump. Turn the screw clockwise (tightening) until the
screw head is close to the Coupler Cover. The holes are
pre-threaded, and this process is the easiest way to get
the screw aligned with the threads. Don't tighten
completely yet.
14. Angle the Coupler Cover to the left slightly as shown in the
picture.
15. Place the Coupler Cut lever as shown on to the bracket of
the Platform End.
16. The Cut Lever should fall through the hole in the bracket of
the Platform. Do not force it through as the bracket might
break.
