ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Attach the handle to the front of the top cover using 4 sets of 1/4"--20 X 5/8-in. screws and lockwashers (see Figs. 1 and 2).
NOTE: If the top cover and rear panel do not have
holes and weldnuts, it will be necessary to remove the cover from the unit to assemble the handle and the cylinder rack using the extra 1/4-in. flat washers and 1/4--20 hex nuts supplied. (See Fig. 1.) Be sure to replace the top cover after assembling the truck to the power source.
If the cover does not have mounting holes, use the handle as a template and drill the holes. The two front holes should be located so that screw and nut will be located just be­hind the flange in the front panel.
2. Attach the upper cylinder rack to the top of the rear panel as illustrated in Fig. 2, using 4 sets of 1/4" --20 X 5/8-in. screws and lockwashers.
NOTE: If the rear panel does not have mounting
holes, use the rack's mounting bracket as a template to drill the four holes. Locate the mounting bracket as close to the top of the unit as possible.
Some units (depending on the model) may already have screws in the rear panel where

the cylinder rack mounting screws are to go. If this is the case, use them to help mount the cylinder rack.
