Intro to Power Cube Construction Script

Preparation

1. Safety
2. Workspace
3. Tools

Subassembly Fabrication

The purpose of this section is to cut the raw steel into required lengths and shapes as required for final assembly. These step includes drilling and cutting steel up to 3/8” in thickness.

1. Engine & Hydraulic Pump mounts
2. Quick attach mounts
3. Fuel tank
4. Oil Cooler Mount
5. Key Switches and Choke
6. Electrical cables
7. Battery Mount
8. Mufflers
9. Hydraulic reservoir

Assembly

Power Cube assembly requires all the parts listed in the Bill Of Materials to be available and prepared as detailed in the “Fabrication” section (above). Assembly requires a welder (electric or torch) capable of welding metal 3/8” thick.

A Power Cube Jig can be very useful during the welding stage:

Power Cube Frames welding - 45 minutes per frame with one person assisting on jig clamping.

1. Frame
2. Gas tank
3. Hydraulic tank
4. Engine and Hydraulic Motor Mount
5. Battery mount
6. Oil cooler and fan mounts
7. Solenoid Mounting Bolts
8. Keyswitch and Throttle mounts
9. Quick Attach Plates
10. Finish and Painting
11. Install Hydraulic Components
12. Install Engine and Hydraulic Pump
13. Install Solenoid
