Removal (Fig. 11)
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, engage parking brake and remove key
from the ignition switch.
2. Remove cutting units from the pivot shaft of the front
lift arms (see Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual).
NOTE: Remove both spacers from the hydraulic cylin-
der shaft clevis when removing the right, front lift arm.
3. Disconnect hydraulic cylinder from the front lift arms
by removing external retaining rings and pins.
4. Remove both flange head screws and carrier stop
bracket from the lift arm pivot shafts.
5. Slide lift arm off the pivot shaft.
6. Disassemble lift arm as necessary using Figure 11
as a guide.
7. Inspect bushings in lift arm and carrier frame (Fig
12). If bushings are worn or damaged, replace bush-
ings.
Installation (Fig. 11)
1. Assemble lift arm using Figure 11 as a guide.
A. If clamps (item 20) were removed, torque cap
screws (item 20) from 55 to 65 ft--lb (75 to 88 N--m).
B. Ifcarrier frame pivotshaft (item40) was removed,
apply antiseize lubricant to pivot shaft before instal-
ling carrier frame.
2. Slide lift arm onto the lift arm pivot shaft.
3. Secure carrier stop bracket with both flange head
screws to the lift arm pivot shafts.
NOTE: Install both spacers to the hydraulic cylinder
shaft clevis when installing the right, front lift arm.
4. Secure hydraulic cylinder to the lift arm with pins and
external retaining rings.
5. Route hydraulic hoses so they clear the lift arm by
0.040” to 0.120” (1.0 to 3.0 mm) when the lift arm is fully
raised (Fig. 13).
6. Adjust lift arms for proper clearance (see Traction
Unit Operator’s Manual).
7. Install cutting unit to the front lift arm pivot shaft (see
