STEP 1: CONSOLE MAST ASSEMBLY
•Locate the Console Mast (10) and Console Mast Cover (41) and slide the Cover onto the Mast as
far as it will go. Make sure the Console Mast Cover is facing the correct way.
•At the top opening of the Main Frame (1) there is a Computer Cable (32) attached to a guiding
wire. Unravel the wire and feed the Computer Cable into the bottom of the Console Mast tube
and out of the top opening.
•Install the Console Mast (10) into the receiving bracket on the top of the Main Frame. Pull slightly
on the computer cable at the top of the mast while installing, this will ensure the cable does not
get pinched and shorted during mast assembly.
•Install two 3/8" Split Washers(120) and two 3/8” Curved Washers(114) onto one of the 3/8" x 3"
Hex Head Bolt (119) and one of the 3/8" x 3/4" Hex Head Bolt (121) install through the front of the
Console Mast; just hand tighten for now. Install two 3/8” Flat Washers (94) and two 3/8" Split
Washers (120) onto two 3/8" x 3" Hex Head Bolts (119). Install them through the left side of the
receiving bracket into the Console Mast. Now tighten all 3 bolts as tight as possible and snap the
console mast cover into place.
•There are three connectors at the top opening of the Console Mast; two Hand pulse wires (37)
and one Computer Cable (32). Connect these to the mating connectors on the back of the
Console Assembly (31). Store the excess wiring back into the Console Mast (10) as you carefully
install the Console Assembly (31) onto the mounting plate of Console Mast. Secure the console
with four M5 Phillips Head Screws (78).

STEP 2: SWING ARM ASSEMBLY
•Install the two Wave Washers (101) onto the Left and Right sides of the Swing Arm axle.
•Slide the Left and Right Swing Arms (4&5) onto the appropriate side of the axle. There is a small
sticker on each swing arm that shows L (Left) or R (Right). Do not force the swing arms onto the
axles, they should slip on but may need to be jiggled a little to align them properly. The swing
arms have been installed at the factory during testing so they should fit properly.
•Install two 5/16" Flat Washers (97) onto the two 5/16" Hex Head bolts (70) and install and tighten
in the threaded holes in the ends of the axle.
•Install the left and right upper arms (13&14) to the lower arms with six 5/16” x 15mm bolts (75).
