ASSEMBLY GUIDE
Connect the lower arm to the spring arm as shown in Figure 15 using the spring arm nut/bolt
(Figure 2, G). Be sure the bolt goes through the loop on the end of the spring. The lower arm
will need to be raised up at an angle as shown in Figure 15 to line everything up.
Figure 15 spring arm attachment to lower arm
To attach the lower arm to the drum unit, you will need to put downward force on the lift arm.
You will be extending the suspension spring when you do this. If you are working by yourself,
try using a ratchet strap to pull the arm down to make this operation easier.
Figure 16 push the lower arm down to line up with drum unit
The holes must be lined up before attempting to drive the pin through. Use a long screwdriver,
long punch, or a similar tool to line up the holes while attempting to drive the pin. Do not
force the pin through, as you can damage the nylon bushings. A little oil on the pin can help.
Use the top link to adjust the angle and adjust the height of the 3 point hitch to better line up
the holes. Use patience as the pin will not go through easily until it is lined up well. Try nudging
the drum unit to get all holes aligned at the same time.
