Figure 12. Anti-Wrap Washer Installation
The anti-wrap washer (2) was added as an inline
production change. Your cutter may not be equipped
with the anti-wrap washer (2). The anti-warp washer is
designed to minimize foreign material wrapping around
the gear shaft and causing seal damage. You may
order an anti-wrap kit for installation on your cutter.
Select the 1-5/8" ID x 2-5/16" OD x 7 GA washer (1)
from the shim pack and install as shown. Install the
anti-wrap washer (2) next to the 7 GA washer as
shown.

Crossbar Shimming Instructions

A properly shimmed crossbar is essential to obtain
good gearbox bearing life. Make sure the gearbox
vertical shaft bearing adjustment is correct. Bearings
should be just tight enough to remove all free play. You
should feel a slight drag caused by the seals, but not
enough drag to indicate pre-loaded bearings.
IMPORTANT
■
Incorrectly shimmed crossbars can cause
costly damage to bearings and gearboxes. Follow
these steps to obtain a properly shimmed crossbar.

shaft, and crossbar.

2. Apply Locquic® primer to gearbox vertical shaft
and hole in crossbar. Wipe off with clean cloth and
reapply. This reduces Loctite® curing time. Do not
reapply blue Loctite® until all solvent smell has
gone.
