You've NEVER SEEN an ATV LIKE THIS
What happens here
Tighten all nuts and bolts on the entire loader system. Check clearance between the plastic body of the ATV and the metal components of the loader to ensure nothing rubs or interferes. Ensure the hydraulic lines are routed correctly and zip-tied if necessary to prevent snagging or damage. Finally, securely mount the battery box to the rear rack using heavy-duty zip ties, as U-bolts might damage the plastic. Install a deep cycle marine battery in the box and connect the positive and negative terminals to the hydraulic pump system. The hydraulic pump runs off the battery, which should be kept on a trickle charger when not in use.
Goal: Secure all components and connect the hydraulic system's power.
