Polyvance's 6076 Bumper Stabilizer helps you ease disassembly, repair, and assembly operations
on today's large multi-piece bumpers.
The Bumper Stabilizer easily mounts to one of your shop's existing scissor stands.
This video will show you the assembly process for this product.
The assembly process for the Bumper Stabilizer is quite simple,
but the first few steps can be made easier with the help of an extra person.
This video is for the earlier version of our product with two-piece vertical supports.
Later versions have single piece vertical supports, making the assembly process even easier.
The Bumper Stabilizer comes with all of the tubing and hardware required to attach it
to one of your shop's existing scissor stands.
First, remove one of the pivot bolts holding the two parts of the scissor stand together.
You will replace this bolt with the three-inch long hex bolt supplied with the Bumper Stabilizer.
Insert the three-inch long bolt with a washer through one of the vertical supports and through the pivot,
sandwiching the support between the two scissor stand parts.
Then secure it to the scissor stand with the supplied U-bolts using two of the quarter-inch nuts and washers.
Install the other vertical support the same way.
Secure it to the scissor stand the same way with the U-bolt.
Secure the pivot bolt with the supplied nyloc nut.
If you have the two-piece vertical supports, note the small holes in the support
and align the hole to the back, away from the work area.
Insert the vertical over the sleeve and tap it all the way down with a hammer if necessary.
Secure the vertical to the support with the supplied self-tapping sheet metal screws
and a power screwdriver.
If you have the one-piece vertical supports, this step is not necessary.
Insert the crossbar supports into each of the vertical supports
and tap them down all of the way with a hammer if necessary.
Finally, secure them with the self-tapping screws.
Now that the vertical supports are installed, it's time to attach the crossbar.
Slide one half of the crossbar into the verticals like this and let them hang.
Put one slider on each side with the T-bolt facing up, then slide the two halves of the crossbar together.
You should have two sliders on the crossbar in between the two vertical supports as shown.
Again, secure the entire length of the crossbar with another self-tapping sheet metal screw.
Center the crossbar between the two vertical supports, and secure it with the supplied one-inch long hex bolts.
Slide the remaining four sliders on to the ends of the crossbar with the t-bolts facing up
and the bungee anchors facing down.
When you are finished, the completed stand should look like this.
Hang the supplied adjustable bungee cords into the sliders so they're ready to support the bumper.
You can also store any unused bungee cords at the back of the vertical supports like this.
Finally, to support the bumpers, use a piece of plywood or a Polyvance Bumper Mate
covered with a small moving pad to protect the bumper's paint.
