6 Install and Level the Crossbar
Follow these steps to install and level the crossbar (refer to Figure 5 Installing and
Leveling Crossbar)
1. Carefully insert the crossbar nipple into the gooseneck.
a. Application of lubricant to crossbar and inside of gooseneck is strongly
recommended.
2. Set the depth of the crossbar in the gooseneck such that the front edge of the
crossbar is aligned with the inside (field side) edge of the end line. See Figure
2.
3. Level the crossbar.
a. It is recommended that you fasten a level to the crossbar to quickly and
easily verify level after each step.
4. Drill a 5/8” hole in crossbar insert using either of the holes in the gooseneck as
a guide.
a. Use of a 21/32” transfer punch is strongly recommended.
b. It is recommended that you pilot the hole with a 3/16” bit, step up to a
3/8” bit and finish with a 5/8” bit.
c. To ensure proper alignment of holes, do not try to drill all the way
through both faces of crossbar at once. Instead drill from each side of
crossbar and check for level after each drilling operation.
5. Insert a 5/8”-11 x 7.5-inch-long hex head bolt through the hole in the gooseneck
and crossbar fitting. Install 5/8-inch washers and 5/8”-11 nuts
on the bolts, tighten, and verify the depth and levelness of the crossbar.
6. Drill a second 5/8” hole in the same manner as the first.
7. Verify depth and levelness of crossbar and tighten both nuts as much as
possible.
8. Drill two 5/16” holes in the bottom of the gooseneck through the gooseneck and
crossbar insert. Drill the holes approximately 3 and 6 1/2-inches from the edge
of the gooseneck (where the crossbar inserts). See Figure 5 Item 15
a. Check level of crossbar after each drilling operation. If the crossbar has
come out of level, re-level and drill a new hole ~1” away.
9. Thread the 3/8”-16 self-tapping screws into the drilled holes.
