(SEE FIGURE 24)

Lower the scoop assembly onto a smooth level surface. For normal use, let the bottom of the bucket rest flat on

the ground. For more aggressive scraping action, place 1/4" shims under the rear of the bucket at each end.

If they are tightened, slightly loosen the two smaller bolts in the tilt bracket. If they are tightened, slightly loosen the four bolts in the pin stop bracket.

Swing the tilt bracket forward and position the pin stop bracket so the end of the dump control pin inserts into the hole in the tilt bracket.

Adjust the pin stop bracket so that it is square with the bucket leaving a small gap between the pin stop bracket and the tilt bracket. The taper on the end of the pin should now extend all the way through the tilt bracket. TIGHTEN the bolts and nuts in the pin stop bracket

TIGHTEN the two bolts and nuts in the tilt bracket.
