Frame Assembly
1. Prior to starting assembly refer to Figure 2-2 for
proper frame placement dimensions. After laying out
the dimensions use a chalk or other marker to help
place the components.
2. Position the Rockshaft on a level surface under the
designated frame assembly area. Lift arms should set
on the floor and the wheel hubs should be toward the
front of the machine also resting on floor. This will add
in ease of assembly. See Figure 2-1.
3. Place front and rear frame tube on supports (about 2'
high) spaced 15' apart. Be sure supports will hold
4000lbs each. Front frame should be placed such that
the hydraulic bulkheads towards the center of the
machine. Rear frame tube should be placed such that
the holes in the Transport Lock Lugs are toward the
center and top of the machine. See Figure 2-1.
4. Set center frame section in place so that it is centered
on the front and rear frame tubes. Fasten together
with 3/4-10 U-bolts, Lock Washers, and Nuts. Do not
tighten at this time or put U-bolts in near the center
tube of the center section. See Figure 2-1.
5. Set LH frame tube and RH frame tube in place on
their respective sides of the center section. Attach
cross members to center section and to front and rear
tubes with 3/4-10 U-bolts, Lock Washers, and Nuts.
See Figures 2-1 and 2-2.
6. Attach the Bulkhead Plate to the Center Frame Angle
using 1/2-13 Bolts, Lock Washers and Nuts.
7. Attach the triangle shaped Bulkhead to the Center
Frame Center Tube in front of the center frame cross
member using 5/8-11 U-bolts, Lock Washers and
Nuts. See Figure 2-1.
8. Attach Front Center Bracket which has no offset to the
Center Frame using 3/4-10 Bolts, Lock Washers and
Nuts. See Figures 2-1 and 2-3.
9. Attach the Rear Center Bracket to the Center Frame
so the offset is to the right, using 3/4-10 Bolts, Lock
Washers and Nuts. The offset allows room for the
longer wheel and axle assembly to be mounted to the
left. See Figures 2-1 and 2-3.
10. Run a tape measure across the frame diagonals if not
square make adjustments. Tighten all fasteners at
this time.
Refer to the Torque Table for proper torque valves.
Note the different torque requirements for bolts with
lock nuts. See Page 4-1.
