Unit Mounting and Mounting Accessories
Most truck loader vac installations are customized and somewhat unique. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure the installation is sufficient to carry the truck loader vac and/or accessories.
The truck loader vac can be mounted in four different ways. Brief instructions for each are listed below.
Refer to the specific mounting accessory and owner’s manual for detailed instructions.
Mounting the Truck Loader Vac
Mount the Truck Loader Vac frame to the frame or swing away, and secure frame with six 3/8” hex
head bolts, 3/8” flat washers, and 3/8” lock nuts. See figure 1.
Hitch Mount (#63686)
Vehicle Requirement: Vehicle with 2” square Class III or Class IV hitch receiver.
Application: Inexpensive mount on either a fixed or tilted bed truck. Must be removed to tilt bed or
unload. Install the hitch bar in the channel underneath the debris loader unit. Secure the hitch bar
from pulling out with the hitch pin and hairpin cotter provided. Sandwich the hitch bar between the unit
and the clamp plate: Secure the clamp plate with six (6) 3/8-16X1 bolts and six (6) 3/8-16 nylon insert
flange nuts.
To mount the unit on a truck get a helper and pick up the unit. Use proper lifting technique. Slide the
hitch bar into the vehicle’s hitch receiver. Secure with the hitch pin and hairpin cotter. Attach the
safety chains to the vehicle.
To remove the unit, remove the hose/boom assembly and disconnect the safety chains and hitch pin.
With a helper, lift and slide the unit out of the vehicle hitch receiver and set it down.
