Backlash in the rings
Due to normal tolerances of the castings, washers may have been added be-
tween the bearings and the roller rings and also between the lock washer (A)
at the end of the shaft and the outermost ring (Fig. 7). To reduce and minimize
backlash, insert a washer of suitable size between the ring and the lock washer
(see page 18 "Replacing bearings/shafts/rings").

Cleaning and maintenance
When preparing for storage at the end of the season, clean the machinery
thoroughly to prevent corrosion and facilitate future maintenance and repairs.
Check that the rings are intact and can turn freely without unnecessary play in
the bearings.
Check the linkage slide bar (nylon rail) for wear and make sure that the self-
tapping screws do not stick up above the surface.
