Installation (Fig. 40)
Note: If bearings (8) where removed, grease seals (7)
should be replaced. Both bearings should be replaced
as a set.
1. If bearings (8) and grease seals (7) were removed
from the reel shaft (1), install seals and bearings to the
shaft as follows:
A. Pack both bearings with No. 2 multipurpose lithi-
um base grease.
B. Clean bearing surfaces of reel shaft. Apply anti-
seize lubricant to both bearing surfaces (Fig. 42).
IMPORTANT: Pressing the seal too far onto the reel
shaft will cause the seal to spread, and not allow it
to be tight on the shaft (Fig. 42).
C. With the lip side of the seal facing the reel spider,
press seal onto each end of the reel shaft (Fig. 42).
D. Press bearing onto each end of the reel shaft
(Fig. 42).
IMPORTANT: Do not install the flat wire spring (9)
into the right bearing housing. Damage to the
spring may result as well as increased noise and
poor quality of cut.
2. Install right bearing housing (10) as follows:
A. Insert bearing housing (10) into the right side-
plate of the frame so that the grease fitting (11) is
facing up.
B. Apply Loctite 242 or equivalent to the threads of
the two tapered screws (16).
C. Insert both tapered screws (16) through the side
plate and bearing housing (10). Start tapered nuts
(12) onto screws.
D. Place bearing spacer (27) into the bearing hous-
ing (10).
3. Position reel (1) into the cutting unit frame. Slide end
of reel into bearing housing (10) while keeping the bear-
ing (8) straight.
4. Install left bearing housing (10) as follows:
A. Insert bearing housing (10) into the left sideplate
of the frame over the bearing (8). Make sure the
grease fitting (11) is facing up.
B. Apply Loctite 242 or equivalent to the threads of
the two tapered screws (16).
C. Insert both tapered screws (16) through the side
plate and bearing housing (10). Start tapered nuts
(12) onto the screws.
D. Place flat wire spring (9) into the bearing housing
(10).
5. Reinstall shield rod (25) to the frame. Secure rod
with both hex head screws (17).
6. Tap both bearing housings (10) with a soft hammer
to seat bearings (8). Tighten tapered nuts (12) to secure
housings.
7. Insert drive coupler (29) into end of reel shaft (1) to
accept hydraulic reel motor. Make sure splines of cou-
pler mess with those of the drive adapter. Secure cou-
pler with retaining ring (28) (Fig. 40 and 41).
