BED STOP BUMPER ADJUSTMENT

1. Pioneer 1200:
1.1. Adjust the two front bumpers (16) by loosening the 1/4-20 nylon lock nuts (17) and position so that
when the cargo bed is lowered, both bumpers are centered on the bed frame weldments
(Figure 4-5, Page 4-10).
1.2. Tighten lock nuts (17) to 20 in-lb (2.3 N·m).
1.3. Adjust the two rear bumpers (18) loosening the 1/4-20 nylon lock nuts (19) until a 1/8-inch gap
between the bottom of the bumper head and the frame weldment is achieved. Do not tighten to the
frame. There is a wave washer between the bumper and frame so that the bumper will "float." Weld-
ments on the frame should rest on these two bumpers.
2. Pioneer 1200SE:
2.1. Adjust the two bed stop bumpers (5) by loosening the 1/4-20 nylon lock nuts (7) and washers (6)
and position so that when the cargo bed is lowered, both bumpers are centered on the bed frame
weldments (Figure 4-6, Page 4-11).
2.2. Tighten lock nuts (8) to 20 in-lb (2.3 N·m).
