WELDING AND FITTING
STEP
1 Unplug Electrical and Hydraulic cables and hosing within the immediate
surrounds of the welding locations.
Remove excess bolted components of weld on bracketry of Parts 1a, 2a, 8 and 9
assemblies.
2 Cover the immediate surrounds of the welding locations with fire retardant
protective material to protect the surface finishes of the FeedStorm and header
front from welding splatter.
3
Isolate the header battery if the header front is currently attached to the
header.
Fully weld the brackets of the Actuator Assemblies, Parts 8 and 9, with 5mm
fillets. Ensure to weld the front and back sections of the bracket, both sides of
the bracket for a minimum of 50mm in length. Refer to drawing UCA-MCD-ASM
view SECTION A-A. Ensure appropriate weld penetration is achieved.
4 IF required: Fully weld the left and right-side Mounting Brackets, Parts 1a and
2a, with 5mm fillets. Ensure appropriate weld penetration is achieved.
5 Prepare the areas for a protective coating of paint by lightly sanding/grinding
the immediate welded area, removing any welding splatter and residual
impurities.
6 Border the precise area for painting, to protect surrounding surface finishes.
7 Use the supplied spray can of black paint as per the instructions to cover the
welded area.
Ensure all bare/exposed metal surfaces are painted for protection.
Allow paint work to dry.
8 Mount all parts to their bracketry.
Remove the spacer washers between the weld on base plates and the rotating
adjustable arm, of the slotted hole fastener ONLY of Parts 8 and 9. Total of two
washers removed per part.
This is to reduce unnecessary friction during operation.
Reconnect electrical and hydraulic cables.
9 Recommend using a thread locking adhesive product on all grub screws, to
ensure they do not loosen during operation.
