Lay the 8’ tall legs and the 12’ cross bar on the floor
Lay one leg on the driver’s side of the conveyor and one leg on the passenger’s side of the conveyor
Lay the cross bar perpendicular to the conveyor
Install the hardware (fig. 1.1-1.2)
Insert (2) ½” x 4” SS u-bolts in the holes on top of the legs
Install ½” flat washers on bolts
Install ½” split lock washers on bolts
Install ½” nuts on bolts
Apply antiseize lubricant on all threads

Slide the cross bar under the u-bolts on both legs
Tighten the u-bolts to snug
Stand the arch up with the help of an equipment lift
Ensure the arch is placed to meet the specifications in section x.x
Once your are satisfied with the placement of the arch, anchor the arch to the concrete floor
- Anchors should be a minimum of ½”-4.50”. Stainless steel is recommended
Verify that the legs are square and plumb using a 4’ level
Tighten all remaining hardware

Apply antiseize lubricant to all threads
Install the shoulder bolt through the spherical rod end and place a flat washer over the bolt thread nut onto bolt the entire way (fig. 2.1)
Install the bolt into the threads on pitman arm or flywheel and tighten fully
While holding the shoulder bolt with an allen wrench, use a 9/16” wrench to tighten the nut down to the pitman arm/flywheel to use it as a “jam nut”
- When having 2 linkages on the same shoulder bolt, place a flat washer between the 2 spherical rod ends (fig. 2.2)
- When completed, the horizontal drive linkage should be level. If not, adjust the height of the gearbox/motor assembly until the drive linkage is level

Install the stainless steel mounts for the high pressure stainless steel tubing
- When making hose connections it is best to keep the mounts on the vertical legs as close as possible to the connection points of the tubing for stability (fig. 4.1)
- Evenly space the mounts across the top evenly (fig. 4.2)
- Apply antiseize lubricant to all threads

Connect the high-pressure hose from the backroom pump to the stainless steel tubing

Connect the provided high-pressure hose from the stainless steel tubing to the manifold on both the driver and passenger sides
