Servicing the Cutting Unit Suspension Assembly (continued)
Chassis: Service and Repairs
Be careful when disassembling the counterbalance mechanism.
The counterbalance springs are under heavy load and may cause
personal injury.
4. Remove tension from the counterbalance mechanism:
A. Use 3/8 inch drive breaker bar in the square hole of the counterbalance
tensioner to hold tensioner in place.
B. Record the position of the clevis pin (item 22), then remove the cotter pin
and clevis pin from the counterbalance bracket and allow the tensioner
to relax.
5. Replace worn or damaged components as necessary:
A. The ball joints were installed in the A-arms with a medium strength
retaining compound (Loctite 609 or equivalent). It may be necessary
to heat the A-arm around the ball joint for removal. Clean the ball joint
housing and the A−arm bore with solvent and allow to dry. Apply a
medium strength retaining compound to the ball joint housing before
installation.
B. If a ball joint clamp (item 9) is removed, ensure the raised boss in the
clamp bore fits in the groove of the ball joint stud before securing the
clamp.
C. If the lift plate (item 12) is removed, tighten the lift plate mounting
fasteners from 91 to 112 N·m (67 to 83 ft−lb).
Be careful when assembling the counterbalance mechanism. The
counterbalance springs are under heavy load and may cause
personal injury.
6. Use a 3/8 inch drive breaker bar in the square hole of the counterbalance
tensioner to raise the tensioner. Install the clevis in the position recorded
during disassembly. Install the cotter pin, relax the tensioner, and remove
the breaker bar.
Note: The default counterbalance setting for eTriFlex machines has the
clevis pin passing under the counterbalance tensioner and the middle hole of
the counterbalance bracket.
