Installing to hitch
Refer to Figure 2.
The All Terrain Vise is designed to be inserted into a
2-inch square hitch receiver.
1. Slide vise tube into receiver. If there is too much
“play” within the receiver, remove the vise and
rotate any of four screws (A) on the vise tube, with
a 5/16” hex key. Reinstall and test for fit, making
further adjustments as needed.
2. Align hole in vise tube with hole in hitch receiver.
3. Insert hitch pin (B) completely through receiver
and vise tube.
4. Install cotter pin (C) through hole in hitch pin.
Cotter pin must be properly
secured in hitch pin before operating vise or
moving vehicle to which vise is mounted.
Figure 2
Installing to bench/table
Bench or table must be capable of supporting
combined weight of vise, workpiece and applied
forces. If additional strength is needed, mount
supporting boards beneath the table.
Refer to Figures 3 and 4.
1. Position vise on bench. The rear (or static) jaw
should just overhang the bench to prevent
obstruction when inserting long work pieces.
2. Place bench receiver over vise tube and mark
hole positions on bench. Figure 3 identifies hole
dimensions. Drill holes of appropriate diameter in
table.
3. Mount bench receiver to bench using fasteners of
suitable grade, length and diameter. The hole in
the side of the receiver should be at the end
farthest from the vise.
4. Slide vise tube into bench receiver. If there is too
much “play” within the receiver, rotate any of the
four adjustment screws on the tube (A, Figure 2).
5. Install hitch pin through holes of tube and receiver
(Figure 4).
6. Install cotter pin into hitch pin hole.
