Assembly
1. Block the rear end of the Beam Assembly up to gain access to the hardware
and remove the first two sets on each side (Figure 3). Tighten the third set on
each side using a 3/4" Wrench.
2. Position the two Mounting Brackets and insert the large Hitch Pin to locate
them (Figure 4).
3. Install the six sets of 3/8" Bolts, Washers (one on bolt side and one on nut
side) and Locknuts by hand.
4. Install the four sets of 1/2" Bolts, Washers (bolt side and nut side) and
Locknuts by hand that you removed in step 1.
Note: As the hardware is tightened in the next step, make sure the Hitch Pin moves
freely in its holes and does not bind.
5. Tighten the 3/8" hardware using two 9/16" Wrenches.
6. Tighten the four 1/2" Hardware with two 3/4" Wrenches.
Note: Install the hardware in the next step with the Bolt threads and Locknuts on
the inside so they will not interfere with arms of your Tractors 3 point hitch.
7. Position the Axle with its mounting ears on the outside of the two Mounting
Brackets and install the Axle with 3/8" Bolts, Washers (one on bolt side only)
and Locknuts using two 9/16" Wrenches (Figure 5).

it with the two Cable Ties (Figure 6).

9. Install both Hoses onto the Valve angled rearward at a 45 degree angle so it
can be routed under the center of the Beam Assembly (Figure 7). Tighten with a
17mm Wrench.
