Hauler Racks SERVICE BODY ‘A’ MOUNT RACKS - Manual (Page 11)

9. Service body mounting plates – rear.
Measure the distance of the crossbar and subtract 7 inches. This is the recommended maximum
distance between mounting plates. Keep the mounts as far apart as possible for strength and rigidity.
Center the mounting plates evenly side to side. The maximum height on the rear mounts will be 16.5
inches lower than the top of front mount for full size (26 inch front legs) and 15.5 lower for mini truck
(24 inch front legs). If the plates are mounted closer to the top of the service body, the legs may
extend past mounting brackets unless trimmed (optional).
Before drilling examine the service body to make sure that are not any wires, hinges, tail lights, etc.
that may cause problems with mounting the plates to and that there is enough room to add the flat
backing plate on the inside for maximum mounting strength. Adjust position if needed.
Mark the centers of the holes and drill 3/8” holes through the service body.
Mount the rear plate and tighten with (3) 3/8”-16 x 1-1/4”hex bolts, flat backing plate, (3) 3/8” diameter
split lock washers and (3) 3/8”-16 nuts. If the wall thickness is thinner, shorter bolts can be used (not
provided).
Repeat for other side.
Loosely tighten (3) 3/8”-16 x 1-3/4” bolts with (3) 3/8” split lock washers and (3) 3/8-16 nuts on the
frame mount. Repeat for remaining mounts.
