2. Requirements: 6” x 25 lb x 66.25” I-beam
3. Kit will be assembled as shown below.
4. Weld the anchor block onto the I-beam. Anchor block must be centered
on beam and completely welded.
5. Install cylinder onto anchor block with the supplied pin and cotter pins.
6. Log stripper weldment can be welded to the beam or bolted to a 10-gauge
(0.1345” thick) plate, which is welded to the beam. If welded to the
beam, a 10-gauge spacer must be placed between the log stripper
weldment and the beam to get the proper vertical height for the log
stripper weldment. The log stripper weldment must rest against the
cylinder face to operate properly, as shown below.
