unit side plate, apply grease to outside surface of new
bushing and install into side plate. The bushing should
be installed flush with the inside of the side plate (Fig.
15).

flange facingoutward. Apply antiseize lubricant to inside
of flange bushing.
3. Apply antiseize lubricant to the bedbar threads and
the shoulder area of each bedbar pivot bolt (Fig. 15).

and 17), make sure that plastic washers are posi-
tioned on either side o f the cutting unit sideplate
(Fig. 15).
