CAB INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU START
HELPFUL HINTS:
A. Refer to parts diagram toward the back of this manual
to help identify parts during the assembly process.
B. To assist with the cab installation, leave all bolts
loose for later adjustment unless otherwise specified.
C. Read and understand all instructions before beginning.
D. Plastic washers have been supplied to provide a
weather seal under the heads of all exterior bolts.
The plastic washer should be installed under each
bolt head directly against the outside cab surface.
Care should be taken not to over tighten the fast-
eners and damage the plastic washer. Also use
steel washers as required. See diagram.
E. Apply a silicone sealant to seal any minor
gaps that may occur due to vehicle variations.
F. Use caution to avoid damaging the factory installed
threaded inserts. Begin the bolt engagement by hand
to avoid or correct potential cross threading.

The head of the bolt is to be in the recessed pocket. The
washers go on the same side as the locknuts. Snug up the
bolts. Do not over-tighten.
3. ROLL BAR BRACKETS
3.1 Per figures 3.1 and 3.1.1, loosely install the roll bar
brackets and the roll bar mounts to the R.O.P.S. tubing as
shown (two places per upright) (approximately where
shown in relationship to the removable pin for the fold-
down R.O.P.S.. Ref.: approximately 14” up from the
fender and 36” up from the fender. When left loose, these
units will be able to slide up or down to match the exact
mounting holes in the back of the side frames. Orient the
roll bar mount so the rubber vibration mount is against
the front surface of the tubing and the bent end of the
part is forward and outboard. Use the following hardware
per setup: two 5/16-18 x 1” long carriage bolts, two steel
washers, and two locknuts. The washers and locknuts are

13. DOORS
13.1 Apply grease to the pin hinges. With assistance, re
-install the doors onto the pin hinges. Work the doors
back and forth until the hinges are completely seated. If
necessary, specific adjustments can be made per the steps
below. Note: the top of the door should end up visually
parallel with the side of the roof. Note: the door latch is a
rotary type with two positions to close. Adjust door so
that when fully closed door latch clicks twice for total
engagement.
Per fig. 13.2, the large striker bolt and nut can be loos-
ened and reset higher or lower, in or out for better en-
gagement and door seal. Use two 19mm open end
wrenches. Note: finger guard to end up being centered
and facing inward.
Per fig. 13.3, the 1/4-20 hex head bolts on the door hing-
es can be loosened on the rear tube, or on the door itself,
or in both places, in order to rotate or move the door up
or down and forward or backward as necessary for prop-
er alignment with side frame. Note: An assistant will be
needed for this step. Keep the hinge sleeves fully seated
on the pin hinges. Tighten all hinge bolts using caution to
not over tighten. Over tightening will crush (damage) the
structural tubing. Torque to 40 inch-pounds.
Per fig. 13.4, the inside latch can be moved forward or
back for proper engagement with the striker bolt. Loosen
the two hex head bolts shown to move the latch. Re-
tighten bolts.
CAUTION: FOR SAFE OPERATION, DO NOT
DRIVE WITH DOORS OPEN. MAKE SURE
DOORS ARE CLOSED AND PROPERLY
LATCHED WHEN DRIVING.
For soft sided doors, install the supplied vinyl coated
cable door stops between the upper bracket on the doors
and the upper bracket on the side frames. Use the follow-
ing hardware: four 5/16-18 x 3/4” long hex head bolts,
eight steel washers, and four locknuts. Do not tighten
down firmly. Allow for free pivoting.
For hard sided doors, install the supplied gas shocks to
the factory installed ball studs on the side frames and
doors with the small piston end towards the door.

(preferably grease) can be applied to the striker bolts and
door latch assemblies. Re-apply periodically as needed
(same goes for the door pin hinges as necessary).
17.2 Check and tighten hardware after 40 hours of op-
eration. Periodically inspect and tighten hardware for the
remainder of the unit’s life.
17.3 Wash the painted surfaces of the unit with com-
mercial automotive cleaning products.
17.4 Clean windows with glass cleaner.
17.5 Vinyl components should be washed with a mild
solution of warm soapy water.
17.6 Clear vinyl can be easily scratched. Be careful
cleaning frost or snow from rear curtain. Do not roll cur-
tain in cold weather. The curtain becomes stiff and may
crack. Keep curtain clean.
