INITIAL INSTALLATION OF CLAMP PLATE CHANNEL

Before the CBC and mounting plate combination can be mounted to the vehicle bed, the clamp plate

channel must be installed. Two clamp plate channels are installed on either side of the mounting plate

assembly and secure the CBC/mounting plate combination to the vehicle bed.

To complete the initial installation of the clamp plate assembly, position one clamp plate assembly spacer

plate (1) on the underside of the extension (2) that extends from the side of the rear mounting plate

section (3). Be sure to position the spacer plate with the countersunk holes side facing down. Align the

holes (4) in the spacer plate (1) with the holes (5) in the mounting plate extension (2).

Position the clamp plate channel (6) as shown on the top surface of the mounting plate extension (2),

aligning the four holes (7) in the clamp plate channel (6) with the four holes (5) in the mounting plate

extension (2).

Install the spacer plate (1) and clamp plate channel (6) in position on the mounting plate extension (2),

install a 5/16-24 UNF x 1.28 inch long flat head screw (8) up through the spacer plate (1), mounting plate

extension (2), exiting the top of the clamp plate channel (6).

Secure the screw (8) with one 5/16 inch flat washer (9), and 5/16 inch UNF hex locknut (10). Install the

remaining three flat head screws and associated hardware. Tighten all hardware securely.

Repeat for the remaining clamp plate channel location.
