OPERATION
ADJUSTING BRACE
If maintenance is performed with the engine running, always have one worker sitting in the operator's seat while another worker
carries out the maintenance. Both workers must mutually confirm the safety during the operation.
Adjustment can be performed more easily if the engine is started,
the inching operation used to perform tilting to the left and right, and
the blade shaken up and down while turning the brace handle (1).
When extending the brace
It is easy to perform the adjustment if the blade is set on top of a
block and the brace handle is turned.
REMARK
When operated in this way, the blade is tilted, so the handle gradually becomes heavier. When this happens, return
the blade from the tilt position to the horizontal position and turn the handle again according to the procedure given
above.
SHIM ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the thickness of shim so that the ball joint play (4 places) in
the axial direction does not exceed 1 mm (0.04 in).
1. Remove shim (1) and tighten bolts (2) to eliminate the ball joint
play.
2. Measure clearance "A" and remove bolts (2).
3. Install shim (1) having its thickness of "A" mm to "A + 1" mm
("A" in. to "A + 0.04" in) in place with bolts 2.
4. Confirm that ball joint can move smoothly after tightening bolts.
