1.
Place O-ring (E) and plug (D) into the knifehead.
IMPORTANT:
Install the bearing with the stamped end (the end with the
identification markings) facing up.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to temporarily remove the grease
fitting from the knifehead during installation of the
knifehead pin. This will allow any trapped air to escape and
the knifehead pin will seat correctly.
2.
Use a flat-ended tool with the same approximate diameter
as bearing (C), and push the bearing into the knifehead
until the top of the bearing is flush with the step in the
knifehead.
3.
Install seal (B) into the knifehead with the lip facing
outwards.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent premature knifehead or knife drive box failure,
ensure there
’
s a tight fit between knifehead pin (A) and the
needle bearing, and also between the knifehead pin and
the output arm.
4.
Install the knife. For instructions, refer to
4.7.5 Installing Knife, page 143
.
