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.
NOTE
Refer to the repair parts manual 7D524 for identification
of parts and for the approximate relationship of the parts
in assembly.
To ensure alignment of assemblies, leave the nuts
loose until completion of final assembly. Use lock
washers or flat washers as specified. Spread all 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.
Using blocks or other supports, block up the Frame
approximately 36". Be sure that it is secure and cannot
topple.
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. See Page 4-1.
"Left" and "Right" refer to directions seen as if standing
behind the machine and facing in the direction of forward
travel.
