Position Wear cap Lock –
First place the lock flat side down against the
inside of the wear cap, adjacent to the lock opening. Slide it toward the wear
cap lug. One of the lock shafts will enter the hole in the lug. Push the lock up
tight against the lug. Then, using a drift placed in one of the lock pockets, tap
the drift with a hammer to cause the lock to rotate halfway around, until the flat
side of the lock is facing you and is lined up with the inside face of the wear cap.
IMPORTANT:
Lock can rotate either way.

Wear cap Installation –
Place the wear cap on the adapter. The tabs on
the inside of the wear cap fit into the tab slots in the adapter.

Lock Wear cap –
Use an ESCO lock removal tool (37V/57V) and hammer to
rotate the lock to the locked position. If lock resists rotation, this indicates more
cleaning of the adapter slots is required. When flat is facing out, the lock is in a
locked position.
