Q36-98 Installation
Step 1 - Install Release Bracket
Start by pushing trip handle to release front gate.
Using the /" wrench, remove trip handle (See Fig 1). Save removed
bolt & nut. Replace with Top Release Bracket, making sure top link
is tilted back. Afx through rear-most hole with saved bolt nut.
Using the /" socket and /"
box-end wrench, attach Top
Release Bracket and Bottom
Release Bracket together with
the Release Bracket Bolts and Nuts. Be Sure to include the Spacers
between the Top and Bottom Brackets (See Fig 2). Tighten all
connections securely.
Step 2 - Install Spring/Spring Attachment
Locate and install the Spring Release Bracket, just below and forward of, the Release Brackets previously
installed (See Fig 3). Note that the spring attachment link faces toward the rear of the chute. Afx with
Bolt & Nut and tighten securely. Attach spring from Bottom Release Bracket (See Fig 4).
Check Bracket/Spring for free operation.
Step 3 - Install Return Handle Brackets
Using the /" socket & Breaker Bar, remove the bolts holding the manual
gate-closing handles and discard the bolts & nuts used to attach them.
Attach the Return Handle Brackets over the gate-closing handles. The oblong
plate will locate on top of the gate-closing handle, and, ears of bracket
arms will face inward (See Fig 5). Use the provided 2" Handle Bolts & Nuts
and snug enough to allow movement.
NOTE: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN as
this will prevent the forward/backward
movement of the handles.
Attach other end of Return Handle to
the slot in the Release Bracket installed
earlier (See Fig 6). Using the /"
socket & Breaker Bar, SNUG bolt & nut enough to allow movement, but
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
