DISASSEMBLY

Remove Step Assembly and LH Turn Signal
WARNING: Step assembly weighs approximately 300 lbs. Use an appropriate lifting device to prevent injury.

1. Raise the tractor’s hood and remove its side panels.

2. Unplug the connectors for the Step Actuator and front-left turn signal (if equipped.) Save for future use.

3. Loosen the four set bolts (1) securing the Step Assembly to the ladder mount tubes.

4. Attach a lifting device to the step assembly.

5. Remove the Step Assembly and save for future use.

6. Remove the four M19 head bolts (2) retaining the ladder mount tube (3). Remove and discard all.

7. Repeat this process for the bolts (4) and lower step tube (5).

Remove RH Turn Signal and Exhaust Components

1. Unplug the connector for the front-right turn signal.
2. Remove the three bolts retaining the right turn signal and bracket. Save for future use.
3. Remove eight M10 head bolts (1) from the DEF Pump Cover plates.
4. Remove the four M16 head bolts (2) securing the DEF Pump (3) to the tractor’s frame. Use a bungee cord to suspend the DEF Pump and prevent stressing the DEF Pump hose.

Remove the Radar Sensor and Deflector Plate

1. Unplug the Radar Sensor’s connector (1).
2. Remove the three M10 head bolts (3) securing the Radar Sensor (2). Save for future use.

3. Remove the four M19 head bolts securing the Deflector Plate (4). Save for future use.

INSTALLATION

Install Receiver Mounting Brackets
WARNING: Mounting bracket weighs approximately 75 lbs. Use an appropriate lifting device to prevent injury.

1. Install the left-side mounting bracket (1) on the tractor with 3/4” x 2” GR8 bolts (2) and flange nuts. Refer to the torque charts in this Manual for bolt torque values.

2. Repeat Step 1 with the right-side mounting bracket (3).

3. Place the rubber isolators (4) on the top and bottom of the bracket.

4. Place the plate (5) on top of the isolator and insert four 3/4” x 9” GR5 bolts ( 6) through the plate and both isolators.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for the left-hand side receiver mounting bracket.

WARNING: Receiver mounting tube weighs approximately 150 lbs. Use an appropriate lifting device to prevent injury.

6. Raise and center the receiver mounting tube (7) into position with the radar bracket to the rear and install eight center-lock nuts (8).

7. Tighten all eight bolts equally (1/8” – 1/4”) so some bulge is seen on the rubber isolators.

8. Reinstall the DEF Pump and Cover.

Install Radar

1. Attach the radar (3) to its FAST mounting bracket (1) with existing hardware (2).
2. Radar calibration may be necessary.

Install Rear Tank Supports

2. Install the rubber isolator (3) with three 1/2” x 1-3/4” bolts (4), 1/2” washers, and center-lock nuts. Snug the bolts to slightly compress the rubber.

3. Repeat the procedure for the left-hand side.

Position the Tractor and Tanks
WARNING: Each tank weighs approximately 1100 lbs. Use an appropriate lifting device to prevent injury.

1. Raise the front of the tractor with an appropriate lifting device (1).
   • The suspension should be at maximum travel upwards, i.e., the front of the tracks should almost come off the ground.
   • This is meant to create clearance between the exhaust bracket casting and the suspension hard-bar.
2. Connect an appropriate lifting device to the right-hand tank.
3. Raise the tank (2) and guide it into position onto its support bracketry.

Install Underside Supports
WARNING: Frame bracketry weighs approximately 300 lbs. Use an appropriate lifting device to prevent injury.

2. Add the intermediary bolt bracket (5) to the right-hand underside support (2). Position it with four 3/4” x 2” GR8 flange bolts and flange nuts (6). Do not tighten them yet.

3. Repeat the procedure for the left-hand side.

4. Align the tank receiver with the underside support and install ten 3/4” x 2” GR8 flange bolts (7) with flange nuts and two 1/2” x 5-1/2” bolts, washers, and nuts (8).

5. Tighten all fasteners. Refer to torque charts in this instruction set for bolt torque values.

6. Repeat the procedure with the left-hand tank (9).

7. Disconnect the lifting devices.

Install Straps and Nylon Protector

2. Repeat the procedure on the left-hand side.

Install Step Assembly
WARNING: Step assembly weighs approximately 300 lbs. Use an appropriate lifting device to remove step assembly.

1. Install the top bracket platform (1) onto the tractor above the left-hand tank with existing hardware (2).

2. Install the base step (3) with four 5/8” x 2” GR8 flange bolts and flange nuts (4). Refer to torque charts in this instruction set for all bolt torque values.

3. Attach a lifting device to the Step Assembly.

Torque values listed are for general use only, based on the strength of the bolt or screw. DO NOT use these values if a different torque value or tightening procedure is given for a

specific application. For stainless steel fasteners or for nuts on U-bolts, see the tightening instructions for the specific application. Tighten plastic insert or crimped steel type lock nuts by turning the nut to the dry torque shown in the chart, unless different instructions are given for the specific

application.

| Shear bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads. Always replace shear bolts with identical property class. Replace fasteners with the same or higher property class. If higher property class

fasteners are used, tighten these to the strength of the original. Make sure fastener threads are clean and that you properly start thread engagement. When possible, lubricate plain or zinc plated fasteners other than lock nuts, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts, unless different

instructions are given for the specific application.
