Installing the Bedknife/Bedbar
1. Thoroughly clean the bedknife mounting face on the
bedbar of all rust and scale. Remove any material on
the mounting face of the bedbar that will affect a good
match-up with the bedknife.
2. Before installation, apply a coating of Never Seez, or
any material that will ease future disassembly of the
bedknife mounting screws to the threads before
installation.
3. Use a torque wrench and Part No. 51-0880 special tool
to finish tightening the screws (Fig. 27). Torque the
screws to 250 in.-lb. (28 Kgm) beginning with the
center screw and tightening alternate screws toward
each end to ensure that the bedknife will be flat
against the bedbar.
4. Install the bedbar/bedknife assembly to the cutting
unit.
