Fasten together using a 5/16" x 2-1/2" hex bolt (front), a 5/16" x 2-1/4" hex bolt (rear) and two 5/16" nylock nuts as shown in ﬁ gure 4. The bolts should straddle the front hitch tube bolt. Do not tighten yet.

11.Assemble the two hitch spacers onto the hitch pin and secure the pin with the large hairpin cotter. See ﬁ gure 4.

STEP 8 - TIGHTEN BOLTS

14.At this time tighten the four bolts in ﬁ gure 1 that fasten the hitch tubes to the sweeper housing. Next, tighten the two bolts in ﬁ gure 2 that fasten the ends of the hitch tubes together. Finally, tighten the two bolts in ﬁ gure 4 or 5 that fasten the hitch brackets to the hitch tubes.

STEP 9 - ASSEMBLE THE ANGLE BRACKET

15.Assemble the angle bracket to the sweeper housing using two 5/16" x 3/4" hex bolts and 5/16" nylock nuts. The upright portion of the angle bracket should face toward the left side of the sweeper. See ﬁ gure 6.
