STEP 3
PIN INSTALLATION
1) Position the saddle locator against the excavator stick.
2) Tighten down the bolts on the saddle locator. Torque these bolts to 700 ft./lbs.
3) Drive the pin through one saddle locator, through excavator stick, and into the saddle
locator on the other side.
4) Check the alignment of saddle locator and excavator stick by sliding the pin in and out
of the saddle locators. Make sure pin goes all the way through excavator stick and
both saddle locators. Make sure the saddle locators are in the correct position before
beginning to weld.
5) Use E-7018 stick electrodes to weld saddle locators in place to the base plate with full
perimeter welds. (YOU MUST USE FULL PERIMETER WELDS TOP, BOTTOM, RIGHT
AND LEFT SIDE.) NOTE: Mig process may be used using an equivalent E-70 series
type wire. (See Darkened areas of Figure 3).
NOTICE
Just Tightening bolts on saddle locators will not hold, full perimeter welds Must be done.
