diameter hole. These will be the front right bracket mounting holes.

rubber onto the inside edge of sheet metal in the slot. This will provide a better seal for this
pedal.
7. On the right side of the machine, remove the handle end caps on all of the controls. Then
remove the plastic black shroud around the controls.
Use the next photo as reference for the next five weather stripping installs.
8. For the front left slot, take the 7” and 5 5/8” pieces of 180° weather stripping. Place the 7”
piece on the left side of the slot and the 5 5/8” piece on the right side of the slot.

pieces onto each side of the slot.
12. For the rear right slot, take the two 4” pieces of 180° weather stripping. Slide the o-rubber
pieces onto each side of the slot.
13. Re-install the black plastic shroud.
14. Take the platform upholstery install onto the platform. Using high strength aerosol glue,
fasten into place, 3M High Strength 90 is recommended.
15. Remove the left and right cab doors. To remove the gas shock on the left cab door, slide a
flat screwdriver underneath the small clip on the end cap that must be pulled UP order to pop
the shock off of the ball stud. The shock will release very easily when this is accomplished. Lift
the door assembly straight up and off of the cab and put aside for now.. Install the lift brackets
through the ½” x 4 1/2” hex bolts into the lift weld nuts that are located at the top and rear of
the door openings.
