6. SILL SUPPORT INSTALLATION
• Sill supports slip into the scissor assembly
tubing and support the truck bed. Sill support
bolt locaon is determined by the bed’s sill
construcon (g. 6). Modicaon may be
required. Examples include:
A. Notching - the bed crossmembers
may interfere with the kit.
B. Cung - if bed height is an issue, cut
the sill support to t within the sill.
NOTE: Do not weld the sill supports to
the sill.
7. DRY FIT AND UNDER BED MODIFICATIONS
• Before nal welding, dry t the bed to ensure
proper bed alignment and any clearance
issues.
• If you have a 10’ bed with a 60” cab to axle or
a 12’ bed with a 84” cab to axle, under bed
crossmember trimming will be required. A dry
t will determine any issues.
• During the dry t, notch the sill support and
sill hinge holes for drilling (g. 7).
• Remove the bed, drill the sill support and sill
hinge holes.
• Dry t again to ensure bolt hole alignment.
8. FINAL WELDING AND BOLTING
• Complete the welding of the crossmember to
the frame L bracket.
• Bolt the sill support to the truck sill using the
1/2” bolts, at washers and locking nuts.
• Bolt guides to the truck frame or weld to
accessory but do not weld to the frame (g.
8).
Hydraulic Connections
PUMP LOCATION
• The included pump can be installed within the
cab or bolted to the frame using a fabricated
mount.
• To bolt, secure the pump using two 3/8” x 1 1/4”
bolts and 3/8” lock washers.
NOTE: Be sure the hydraulic hose can reach the
pump.
HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
• Unscrew and remove the coil on the pump.
• Use Teon paste (do not use Teon tape) around
the ng threads.
• Connect one ng to the pump and one to the
cylinder.
NOTE: Be sure the pump ng faces the
cylinder ng. This will ensure the hose does
not contact any moving parts.
• Run the hydraulic hose to the cylinder ng and
pump ng.
• Return the coil to the pump.
• Fill the pump with automac transmission uid
in warm climates. In colder climates, ll with
military standard MIL-H-5606 uid.
Breaker Connections
Installaon of a breaker is required for your
equipment’s safety. We use a 150 amp breaker.
• The breaker has two posive connecons that
connect to pump’s solenoid and the baery.
