CAB INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU START
HELPFUL HINTS:
A. Refer to parts diagram toward the back of this manual
to help identify parts during the assembly process.
B. To assist with the cab installation, leave all bolts
loose for later adjustment unless otherwise specified.
C. Read and understand all instructions before beginning.
D. Plastic washers have been supplied to provide a
weather seal under the heads of all exterior bolts.
The plastic washer should be installed under each
bolt head directly against the outside cab surface.
Care should be taken not to over tighten the fast eners and damage the plastic washer. Also use
steel washers as required. See diagram.
E. Apply a clear silicone sealant to seal any minor
gaps that may occur due to vehicle variations.
F. Use caution to avoid damaging the factory installed
threaded inserts. Begin the bolt engagement by hand
to guard against potential cross threading.

One 3/8” Drive Ratchet
