Roller Removal and Installation
Note: This section can be used for both the front and
rear rollers.
Roller Removal
1. Remove both height–of–cut pins and hairpin cotters
from each roller bracket.
2. Remove both locknuts from the capscrews securing
each angle bracket to the cutting unit.
3. Remove capscrews from both angle brackets and
the cutting unit.
4. Separate roller assembly, roller brackets, and angle
brackets from the cutting unit.
5. Remove roller brackets from the roller assembly.
Roller Installation
1. Inspect flanged bushing and bushings for wear; re-
place if necessary.
Note: The flanged end of the flanged bushing must
face inside toward the roller when the roller bracket is
installed onto the cutting unit.
Note: A soft hammer may be needed to tap the roller
bracket into position on the hex adjustment nut of the
roller.
2. Insert smaller diameter roller shaft into the flanged
bushing, bushing, and roller bracket. Make sure hex of
the roller bracket mates with the hex adjustment nut
on the roller.
3. Insert the other end of the roller shaft into the other
bushing and roller bracket. Make sure hex of the roller
bracket mates with the hex adjustment nut on the
roller.
4. Hold one roller bracket stationary and use the other
bracket as a wrench to loosen or tighten bearing clear-
ance. The roller must not exceed 5 in–lb (5.8 kg–cm) rol-
ling torque and have no bearing end play.
5. Make sure roller brackets are aligned prior to instal-
ling them onto the cutting unit. If necessary after bearing
adjustment, align roller brackets as follows:
A. Remove roller bracket on the side with the
flanged bushing.
B. Replace roller bracket so it is aligned to within
" one hex flat of the roller adjustment nut.
C. Align both roller brackets.
