2-3 Lift Handle Installation Figure 2-4.

The various parts of the handle assembly P#(A0273) must be attached to the container frame. Page 7 shows the orientation and location of the components. Slide the lift handle into the slot in the handle mount bracket P#(B1730) on the grass container. It may be necessary to remove the handle grip P#(J0522) to allow the handle to fit through the slot.

Before attaching the handle, hook one end of the spring P#(J0176) into the hole on the underside of the handle. Hook the other end of the spring into the open hole in the handle mount bracket. Fasten the handle to the grass container frame by using (1) 3/8”-16 x 2” HHCS P#(K1208) and (2) 3/8”-16 flange nuts P#(K1215). At this point the handle can pivot back and forth in the slot of the handle mount bracket. With the handle in place, fasten the ball joint P#(K1442) to the end of the latch rod P#(A0260) (Page 7). Tighten to approximately half way down the threads of the latch rod. Slide the ball joint into the hole on the latch hook P#(B1529). Use (1) 5/16”-24 hex nut P#(K1444) and (1) 5/16” lock washer P#(K0043) to fasten the ball joint to the latch hook. Attach the opposite end of the latch rod into the handle. Fasten the rod to the handle by using (1) 3/32” x 3/4” cotter pin P#(K0094). Adjust the rod to allow the hook to close the box door completely.

Refer to pages 7 and 8 for exploded parts drawings and photographs of the complete assembly.

2-4 Aluminum Grass Container Installation

NOTE: It is recommended that (3) people assist in mounting the container.

With three people available, two can lower the container onto the frame while the third person inserts the pivot pins P#(K0172) through the holes. Insert the pins from the outside to the inside. Secure with (1) 5/8” washer P#(K0058) and (1) 5/32” x 2-5/8” hair pin clip P#(K0088) per pivot pin (Figure 2-4).

Reattach the bottom ends of the door opening linkages to the main frame by using (1) Rue-Ring cotter pin P#(K1437) per side.

To test the functionality of the dump mechanism, pull the lift handle away from the unit, and lift upward (Page 7). The door of the container should open and the box should pivot clockwise towards the ground.

2-5 Dump Mechanism Adjustment

The linkage may be adjusted in two places, at the adjusting screw P#(K1435) and the latch assembly items. See page 7 for visual clarification. To change the door closure tightness, screw the adjusting screw in or out. To adjust the latch, change the length of the latch rod by screwing the latch adjusting ball joint in or out. The latch hook pivot should be in the middle of the slot in the latch hook pivot plate. Slide the pivot back or forth and then re-tighten.
