2. Place reinforcing assembly on the curb cap; loosely

If cap has factory holes that line up with hinge

locations for drilling. Drill a 5/16 inch hole in the
curb cap at these locations.
3. Attach each top hinge and reinforcing assembly to
the curb cap with 5/16 inch - 18 x 1 inch long weldbolt screws and 5/16 inch spinlock nuts. Refer to

under the nut furthest from the pivot point. Secure
the cable with the 5/16 inch x 1-1/4 inch fender
washer. Allow the opposite end to hang loose until

on the curb or hinge base so there is equal space

align hold down screws with threaded holes and
loosely install thumb screws.

5. Attach each lower hinge to the upper hinge with
the 1/2 inch - 13 x 2 inch bolt, 1/2 inch washers
