DRAWBAR Windload Post Installation STEP 3 With the door in the closed position, place the post assembly against the door struts, or no more than 2-1/4" from door panel, resting on the floor and aligned with the center hinges as shown in Figure 3. Ensure that the post assembly is plumb. PANEL STEP 4 Raise the post assembly enough to slide the floor plate underneath. Align the two ½" holes in the floor plate with the lock bars of the hasps on the sides of the post assembly. See Figure 4. BOLT OR CLEVIS PIN 2-1/4" MAX. (STRUT HEIGHT) HINGE ANCHOR BOLTS Fig 1 STEP 2 Determine the location of the Windload Post installation ensuring that it aligns on a door stile with hinges. (For two or more posts, each post must be evenly spaced across the door width and centered on a stile with a hinge. Use the same installation procedure for one, two, or three post assemblies.) Attach two post brackets to each hinge on the door stile hinges that will receive the Windload Post as shown in Figure 2. Attach J-Nut (provided) to the post brackets. Fig 3 Fig 4 STEP 5 Remove the post assembly. With the floor plate still in place, mark the location of the four mounting holes and the two holes for the hasp lock bars. Remove the floor plate and drill four 3/16" diameter mounting holes, 1" deep and two ½" diameter lock bar holes, 2" deep. Attach the floor plate to the floor using the four anchor bolts (supplied).

Attach one cable to the cotter pin and pin (supplied) as shown on the left side of the illustration. Attach the two header links to the top of the post using the clevis pin and cabled cotter pins. Once assembled deform the cotter pins such that they cannot be easily removed. Attach the header support bracket to the other end of the header links with the clevis pin and cabled cotter pin. Once assembled deform the cotter pin such that it cannot be easily removed. COTTER PIN PIN HEADER LINK HEADER SUPPORT COTTER PIN Fig 5 CLEVIS PIN Return post to its original position. Engage the lock bars of the hasps with the floor plate. See Figure 6. STEP 6 (continued) Rotate the header links and header support bracket up towards the header.
