Crossbar Assembly
STEP 2: Insert long ends of both elbows into cross bar.
STEP 7: Secure with fasteners using cap screws BB, washers
HH, and lock nuts EE.
STEP 3: Insert elbows into spring pivot sleeves.
STEP 8: Drill a 5/16″ hole through each pivot sleeve and elbow
approximately 1-1/2″ From bottom of each sleeve.
STEP 4: For narrow boxes, cross bar may need to be cut down
to width.
STEP 9: Secure with fasteners using cap screws CC, washers JJ,
and lock nuts FF.
STEP 5: Adjust cross bar so it is centered between pivot as-
semblies.
STEP 1: Lay cross bar 11 on top of tarp (with tarp in covered
position).
STEP 6: Line up grooves in cross bar and elbows as a drilling
guide. Drill 5/16″ hole through each end of cross bar approxi-
mately 2″ in from each end.
NOTE: When installing Elbow, ensure that a minimum of
2″ inserts into Spring Pivot. If this cannot be achieved with
short end of Elbow, Elbow may be ipped so that long end
is inserted into Spring Pivot. If Elbow is ipped, it may be
necessary to cut long end down so that it meets minimum
dimensions shown. Short end would then insert into
Crossbar.
