3.0 Roll Off Load Pin Installation
Important
All load pin installations require lubrication facilities. Normally lubrication is provided through the central
pivot area. OEM Roll Off pivots typically have existing lubrication fittings included in their pivots. Rice
Lake pivots are furnished with drilled and tapped holes for the insertion of a standard lube zerk which
must be supplied and installed by the system installer.

3.1 Installing the Load Pins
1. Remove the rear fenders from the truck, if required, to gain free and clear access to the pivots.
2. Use jacks or a forklift to support the rear of the dump bucket and maintain its position/alignment while the
pivot pins are being replaced.
3. Remove the bolt and washer from the collar/support on the pivot.
Note
Removing pivot pins on some vehicles may be difficult if rust is present or if the hoist chassis pivot and the truck
chassis supports are out of alignment. If rust is an issue, use a penetrating lubricant and appropriate tools for
tapping the pivot pin out. Use a pry bar as a lever to assist with any misalignment problems to remove the
existing pivot pins.
4. Push the pivot pins out of the supports.
5. Mark the frame where the pivot supports are located, in an area that will not be affected by grinding the
frame smooth. This will assist in the location of the new supports.
6. Remove the supports from the frame of the truck.
7. Using a power grinder or a wire brush, clean the area where the supports were located, both sides of the
frame. Grind the frame smooth to ensure a clean weld for the support installation.
