PRE-OPERATION/ASSEMBLY
1. Remove wheel assembly, parts bags and manuals from the
box and set aside.
2. Lift tank assembly out of the box and set aside.
note: tank assembly is heavy and may require two people
to lift it out safely.
3. Carefully lift engine and pump assembly out of the box and
set aside.
note: Lift heavy objects with your legs, not your back, to
avoid injury.
4. Attach engine/pump assembly to the engine mount on
the tank using the four bolts, four nuts, and eight washers
found in parts bag labeled #3. Tighten securely with 13mm
wrenches. SEE FIGURE 1.
5. Install the wheel/spindle assembly into the wheel mounts on
the tank using the two 55mm (approx. 2-1/4 inch) M8 bolts
and corresponding nuts found in the main parts bag. Tighten
securely with 13mm wrenches. SEE FIGURE 2.
6. Lift the beam/wedge assembly out of the box, removing and
setting aside all loose hydraulic hoses. To avoid injury, be
aware that the wedge is not tightened to the beam and
may shift on the beam when it is lifted.
note: Beam/wedge assembly is heavy and may require two
people to lift it out safely.
7. Remove foam packaging from between the splitting wedge
and the beam. Tighten the eight bolts and nuts that hold the
wedge onto the beam with a 10mm Allen wrench and 19mm
box wrench (SEE FIGURE 3), ensuring the wedge is still able
to move along the beam without catching.
