4. Raise the tube at point “A” so the discharge end is approximately 10’ off the
ground.
• Attach a lifting device at point “B” on the scissor-lift frame and lift until the
axle arms (8) are aligned with the lower bracket (first bracket from the
intake end) on the tube (33).
• Tighten with 1” x 2-1/2” bolts (30) and 1” locknuts (31). Use 1” SAE wash-
ers (32) as spacers between the tabs and the bracket (one for each side).
See Figure 3.24.
5. Attach axle arms to flex frame as shown in Figure 3.30. Start by passing a 1”
x 5” bolt through the axle arm, stabilizer bracket, 1” flat washers and the push
the bolt through the hole in the flex frame. Secure on the backside with a 1”
locknut. This is a pivot point, tighten only to snug. Repeat this process for the
opposite side.
Note: It may aid alignment to use a stand to hold up the axle arms.
6. Install the short crossmember by placing it between the lower arms. Attach a
stabilizer side plate to each end of the short crossmember and secure with
four 3/4” x 4-1/2” bolts and locknuts. Only put the nuts on the end of the bolts
for now.
7. Attach the stabilizer braces to the short crossmember using a 5/8” x 2” bolt
and locknut. Leave the bolts loose for now.
Note: The bend angle of the stabilizer brace is different at each end. Attach the end
with a smaller bend to the short crossmember.
8. Secure the two stabilizer brackets and stabilizer braces using a 5/8” x 2-1/2”
bolt and locknut. The stabilizer braces should sandwich the brackets. The
short crossmember may have to be moved around to get the bolt in.
9. Bolt the remaining hole in the two stabilizer brackets together with a 5/8” x

1-3/4” bolt and locknut.
10. Push the short crossmember toward the stabilizer brackets until it fits gently
between the two frames, do not wedge the short crossmember in between
the lower arms too tight.
11. Tighten all the bolts in the stabilizer and crossmember making sure nothing
moves. Ensure the 1” lower arm bolt is left only snug, as it remains a pivot.
WARNING
Do not remove tube support until instructed to
do so in step 12.
