WARNING
NOTE
Refer to the repair parts manual F-947 for identification of
parts and for the approximate relationship of the parts in
assembly.
IMPORTANT
• If pre-assembled parts or fasteners are temporarily
removed, remember where they go. It is best to keep
parts separated.
• Check that all working parts move freely, bolts are tight
and cotter pins spread.
• Refer to the Torque Table for proper torque valves.
Note the different torque requirements for bolts with
lock nuts.
.
“Left” and “Right” refer to directions seen as if standing
behind the machine and facing in the direction of forward
travel.
To ensure alignment of assemblies, leave the nuts l
oose
until completion of final assembly. Use lock washers or
flat washers as specified. Spread cotter pins.
After completion of final assembly, tighten all nuts
evenly to prevent misalignment, distortion or binding.
Tighten all screws and nuts to the recommended torques.
Frame and Rotor
The Frame and Rotor are pre-assembled at the factory.
Select a smooth, level area that can be reached by a
hoist or lift truck.
Place blocks both Front and Rear of the
Rotor Blades. Using an overhead hoist, raise the
frame
approximately 16 inches off the ground. Use at least
three blocks to secure the frame
in this position.
Figure 2-1: Frame Blocking
Do not work on or under this machine unless
securely
blocked and supported by a hoist or
tractor or by other sufficient means.
Do not attempt to lift heavy parts (such as the
frame, rock shaft, and pull hitch) manually. Use a
hoist or a fork lift to move these parts into
position.
