SECURING THE CBC TO THE VEHICLE BED

Using the hoisting sling, position the CBC on the vehicle bed so that all 19 holes in the carrier mounting

angles align with the Rivnuts that were installed earlier.

To prevent smearing of the RTV sealant applied in the previous step, be sure to locate the CBC directly

over the holes in the vehicle bed before allowing the CBC to come in contact with the vehicle bed.

CAUTION

Always apply anti-sieze lubricant to bolt and screw threads before

installation to prevent galling.

Bolt the CBC to the vehicle bed at the 12 locations (Locations marked "C" on the illustration that

follows) using one 1/4-28 UNF x 1.00 inch long hex head bolt (1), flat washer (3), and lockwasher (2) per

hole. The flat washer is placed so that it contacts the mounting angle surface (4). The lockwasher (2) is

placed under the head of the bolt (1).

At the four hole locations in the carrier mounting angles on either side of the threshold (Locations

marked "B"), install one 1/4-28 UNF x 1.25 inch hex head bolt, flat washer, and lockwasher per hole.

Install the bolts as described above.

In the remaining three hole locations on the threshold (Locations marked "A"), install three pan head

screws (5) with lockwasher (6) placed under its head.

Tighten all fasteners securely.
