Tilt Bracket Assembly - Craftsman 486.24847 Owner's Manual

STEP 8 - INSTALL TILT BRACKET ASSEMBLY
NOTE: If you mounted the lift strap assemblies in Step 7
to the rear holes in the lift frame for increased
lifting height, you need to replace the 3/8" spacer
on the tilt bracket assembly with the smaller 3/8"
spacer from the parts bag at this time.
Loosen the bolts and nuts on the tilt bracket
assembly 1/4 turn or until the two plates will slide
back and forth. You will retighten them later in step
23. See figure 6.
Lightly apply grease to the end of the arm on the tilt
anchor assembly and install the tilt bracket assembly
to the arm using a 1/2" x 1" hex bolt and 1/2" nylock
jam nut. Tighten. Loosen the nut 1/4 turn, or until the
tilt bracket assembly pivots freely. See figure 6.
Install a 1/4" x 1-3/4" hex bolt through a 1/4" washer
and then through the end of the extension spring on
the tilt bracket assembly. Next, install a 1/4" hex nut
all the way onto the threads of the bolt. Finally install
the end of the bolt into the hole in the arm of the tilt
anchor assembly and secure using a 1/4" nylock nut.
Tighten. See figure 6.
STEP 9 - INSTALL DUMP PIVOT BRACKET
Install a 1/8" x 1-1/2" cotter pin to the inside hole in
the shaft shown in figure 9, and then install a 1"
washer onto the shaft. Apply grease to the end of the
shaft and install the dump pivot bracket assembly
onto the shaft. Install a 1" washer onto the shaft and
secure it using a 1/8" x 1-1/2" cotter pin. See figure 7.
