9. REASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
1. Install the eyebolt (7, Fig. 17.8) on diagonal strut housing (4).
2. Adjust the diagonal strut to nominal mounting length 1200 [mm] (Fig. 17.8).
3. Position the diagonal strut (26, Fig. 17.1) so that the eye is inside the bracket on the side of the
push arm (23 or 28) and the strut ball in blade socket (10). Connect the strut socket cap to the
blade socket (10) with the four bolts (6) and washers. Be sure to tighten the bolts evenly.
Determine the number of shims (11) needed to fill the gap between strut socket cap and socket
(10) then add one additional shim (11) to provide clearance. Each shim (11) is 0.75 [mm] thick.
Remove the bolts, add the amount of shims (11) required and install and torque the bolts with
washers to 1050 [Nm].
4. Position the eye of the diagonal strut (26) in the bracket on the side of the push arm (23 and
28) so that the pin holes are aligned. Insert the mounting pin (25) through the bracket, aligning
the lock holes. Secure the pin (25) with the locking hardware.
