2. Next, mount the L-bars to the brackets on the tow arm. The
outside L-bar can be attached so it points up or down. The
position will depend on how tall the tow arm is off the ground.
• For pavers with a tall tow arm, mount the L-bar in the
downward position.
• For shorter tow arms, mount in the upward position.
Place locking collars on the bars and adjust so they are parallel
with one another before tightening with an Allen wrench. This
will allow the ski to move freely when adjustments need to be
made without falling off.
3. Bend the L-bars so they are aligned in the same position and
fold inwards so they are close to the paver (Figure 6-18). Make
sure the clamp handles are loose so the bars can move.

4. Lift the ski and slide it over the L-bars. Adjust the ski so it is
approximately 2 1/2 feet off the ground. Slide the locking collar
up to the ski and lock in place.
TIP
TIP
The ski will be easier to mount if the end beams
are folded in. Bend the L-bars so they are
aligned in the same position and fold inwards so
they are close to the paver. Make sure the clamp
handles are loose enough so bars can move.
