1. Place the mainframe on blocks or some other sturdy support
so that the frame rests approximately 8"-10" off the ground.
Attach the tilt bed ramps (#1) as shown using three 7/16" x 1"
grade 8 bolts (#2) and lock nuts (#3) on the top of each ramp
and four 1/2" x 1-1/4" grade 5 bolts (#4), flatwasher (#5) and
locknuts (#6) (two on each side of the ramp). Torque the 7/16"
bolts to 80 ft. lbs. and torque the 1/2" bolts to 75 ft. lbs.
2. Hold the tongue (#7) up to
the front of the tow dolly and
locate the three bullet
connectors extending out
the back of the tongue and
plug into the connector pro-
truding from under the main-
frame channel. Do not cross colors when making this
connection.
3. Mount the tongue to the front of the tow dolly using one 5/8"
x 4-1/2" grade 5 bolt (#8) and locknut(#9) (torque to 50 ft. lbs.).
Do not torque over 50 ft. lbs. or the bed will not tilt. Make sure
the tongue latch is in the latched position to the tilt bed.
4. Secure the coupler (#10) and lift handle (#11) to the front end
of the tongue with two 1/2" x 4-1/2" gr.5 bolts (#12) and
locknuts (#13) . The white ground wire (#14) is attached under
the head of the second bolt attaching the coupler. (It is very
important that a good ground is made). Torque the locknuts
to 75 - 80 ft. lbs. Tap a rubber grip (#15) onto the handle with
a rubber hammer or a wooden mallet.
5. Remove the 7/16" x 1-1/4" bolt (#16), flatwasher, and locknut
from the outer front panel of each wheel platform tire stop.
Slide the tie-down winch (#17) into the channel at the front of
the wheel platforms as shown. Note that #17 is the left winch.
The ratchet handles are to the outside of each winch and
ratchet springs are to the top. Attach two 36" towed vehicle
safety chains (#18). Secure one chain to each wheel platform
tire stop with the 7/16" x 1-1/4" bolt (#16) , flatwasher and
locknut.
6. When assembling the tie-down strap to the tow dolly winch,
make sure the tie-down strap does not contain any twists and
the overlaps are to the inside. Weave the front of the tie-down
strap through the openings in the buckle. The buckle should
be approximately 8" from the end of the strap. Thread the strap
end through the winch slot. Bring the strap up and thread it back
through the buckle again. The buckle should be approxi-
mately 1-1/2" - 2" from the winch.
(Refer to drawing on page 9 for following steps)
7. Attach Hub and Spindle Assembly (#19) using 7/16" x 1-1/4"
Fine Thread Bolts (#20) and hex nuts.
8. Bolt the fenders (#21) on using 3/8" x 1-1/2" gr. 5 bolts (#22),
back-up plates (#23) and locknuts (#24) in each fender. Mount
the fender with the light pocket to the rear. Attach the white
ground wire (#25) (the end with the eye loop on it) under the
center top bolt head.
NOTE: It is advantageous to wire the fender lights prior to
attaching the wheels.
9. Cut off stripped ends of the wiring harness, cut off stripped end
of the white ground wire. The yellow/brown wires must be run
to the left tail light pocket. The green/brown wires must be run
to the right tail light pocket. Start at either fender, pull the loom
at the center of the fender downward and push the green/
brown (or yellow/brown) wires upward through the loom until
it comes out the loom by the light pocket. Push the white ground
wire through the slit in the top of the loom in the fender trough
and push the wire toward the light pocket.
10. Make sure all three wires are coming out the fender wire loom.
Slide the rubber fender grommet over the wires and up close
to the wire loom.
Push the hollow looped end of the loom hanger into the small
hole under the fender pocket in the side of the fender. Leave
the holder open.
Pull the three wire pigtail wires through the hole in the fender
pocket outward. When wiring the pigtail into the tow dolly
