Diagram of Pivot Parts

OVERVIEW OF STEP PROCEDURE

1 Take 4 12 hole tubes. 2 of these are the Leg Cylinder Tubes, and 2 are the quick attach plate tubes.

2 Mount the quick attach plate bottom 3 hole plates. Mount the quick attach plate top 2x3 hole plates. Use only the 2 of the 3 inner holes, as the third hole will be used to mount the leg cylinder tubes. Use 6 of 7" bolts, and use a 2" bolt for the Top Quick Attach Plate Tube. The 2 inch bolt is used to avoid conflict in mounting the angled support.

3 Cut the Angled support from a 24" piece of 1/2"x4" plate.

4 Install the Angled Support.

5 Install the Leg Cylinder Tubes.
