6. Tighten the u-bolts evenly by alternating between the top and bottom
locknuts.
7. Place a board across the lower arms to support the lower scissor arms.
8. Bolt the lower scissor arms (14 and 15) to the axle (3) with 1” x 3” bolts (16)
and 1” locknuts (17).
Note: Ensure the arms are located on the correct side. The hole in the axle tab should

a. Start with the locknuts closest to the axle.
b. While tightening, ensure that the lower cylinder mount (18) butts up against
the tab stops on the lift arms (14 and 15) using the same procedure as in
Steps 5. and 6.
c. Tighten the remaining u-bolts and repeat the procedure for the lower x-
