LOADER MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not cut spacer blocks too short, which will cause a loose fit, or too long which will cause frame to
spread. See Figure 2.
Use these recommended procedures for mounting the loader to a truck or trailer frame. Truck/trailer frame
is usually made of channel or I-beam. The following instructions show mostly I-beam, however the
principles for mounting to channel are generally the same, unless noted.
1. Using suitable lifting equipment, place loader on truck/trailer frame over axles, leaving enough room for
tailswing of machine plus two ft.
2. Install two spacer blocks at each of the four mounting points (See Figure 1 for offset mounting locations).
Spacer blocks must be slightly longer than the opening between I-beam edges so that they fit snug. See
Figure 2. Spacer blocks must be a minimum of 1/4" thick. DO NOT WELD SPACER BLOCKS TO
TRUCK/TRAILER FRAME!
NOTE: To prevent distortion of truck/trailer frame and ensure solid base for the loader, align spacer blocks
with edge truck/trailer frame but offset them from mounting studs as shown in Detail A in Figure 1.
