This kit contains two steel saddle brackets and
U-bolts, and is designed for factory installation on
new equipment. Both Brackets must be used and
must be welded to truck framework as far apart as
possible yet still clamp on the Extend-A-Gun RC
tube. The welds must be able to withstand the forces
shown on the Side Loads at Mounting Points Diagram
(page 8). The Extend-A-Gun RC may be installed in
the brackets after the truck is painted. Use Loctite,
supplied in kit on U-bolts.
4.4 PLATE BRACKET INSTALLATION
This kit may be used in either new or retro-fi t
installations. The top plate with its bracket may be
bolted above or below an existing deck. The lower
saddle bracket is installed as previously shown. Both
brackets must be used. To minimize the stress on
the brackets they should be as far apart as possible
when clamped to the Extend-A-Gun RC tube. Please
refer to the Side Loads at Mounting Points Diagram
and make sure the mounting points can withstand
these forces. Use Loctite®, supplied in kit on all
threads, torque bolts.
