Installation

Preparing the Machine

  • If you are installing this kit on a new diesel traction unit without a seat, remove the 4 carriage bolts and 4 nuts securing the shipping bracket to the seat pan and armrest (Figure 1). Discard the shipping bracket and seat pan fasteners. Save the armrest fasteners and spacer.

    Important: Ensure that you support the armrest after removing it so that it does not crimp or hang by the cables and wires.
