Retract the Linkage part way and make sure the Mounting Insert is in the
proper position. Tilt the Linkage and slide the mounting slots over the bolts
installed in Step 7. Rotate the Linkage until the Mounting Insert slips into the

Slide a Bracket Insert into the access hole in the body support member above the front Motor Link.
Push it forward and over to the hole next to the body mount. Thread an M8-1.25 x 30 Hex Bolt with
a Large Washer into the insert. Hook the Front Support Bracket over the Large Washer and attach
it to the top front boss on the Motor Linkage with an M6-1.0 x 15mm Socket Screw and M6 Flat
