Assembly Instructions
To begin assembly you'll need two 9/16" wrenches (one socket and one open end). If you plan to use an impact driver, be careful not to over tighten as the nylon bolts can be easily stripped. You'll also want a couple of 4X4 posts to rest the floor of the bucket on while you assemble the bucket and a couple of scrap 2X4 pieces to prop up the side panels to make securing them easier. Once you have your staging area prepared follow these simple steps.
Approximate time to assemble (60 mins).We recommend the use of an anti-seize lubricant on all the hex bolts to prevent seizing of the nuts over time. We provide 70 stainless bolts and nuts, along with 140 stainless washers. The washers must be used on BOTH sides of the panel.
As you begin the assembly, work on the perimeter bolts first, and DO NOT tighten the bolts but leave them loose to begin with. You'll want to be able to wiggle the panels to line up all the holes, and tightening any of the bolts too much as you begin the assembly will make that more difficult.
Step 1: Place floor panel onto the staging area then bolt the left side panel (L) onto the floor panel (O) using the lower 3 bolt holes. The front of the left panel is angled so be sure to match it up with the angled front of the floor panel. The bottom of the left panel should be under the floor and the hex bolt should come through panel and then the floor.
Step 2: Bolt the back panel (B) onto the floor panel (O) using the perimeter bolt holes securing it to the side panel, and the perimeter bolt holes of the floor panel. The back panel should sit inside the 90 degree angled floor flange and the inside the side panel's 90 degree angled back flange.
Step 3: Bolt front panel (F) onto the side panel (L) and then to floor panel (O) using the perimeter holes on side panel and the perimeter holes on the floor panel. If your floor panel front-flange measures 1 1/4", the front panel should sit inside the angled front flange and inside the side panel's angled flange. If your floor panel front-flange measures 1 1/2", the front panel should sit outside the angled front flange and inside the side panel's angled flange.
Step 4: Bolt right side panel (R) onto the 3 panels (F, O, B) using the perimeter holes on the back and front of side panel, and the 3 holes on the bottom. Now you can go ahead and add any remaining bolts left out in step 3 and 4. The main bucket is now complete.
Step 5: Place corner gussets in place and align the holes. Secure the 6 bolts to the back and side panels. Now you can tighten all the bolts installed, but be sure not to over tighten
Step 6: Install the Quick Attach Brackets to the back of the bucket. For SSQA, there is an explicit left and right QA bracket so be sure to mount the left and right brackets such that they will line up with the male QA on FEL. The closed end of each bracket that connects to the top of the QA should be facing out.
