Cutting Reel Assembly Installation (Fig. 34)
1. Thoroughly clean side plates and other cutting unit
components. Inspect side plates and pitch arms for
wear or damage and replace components if needed.
2. Make sure that flocked seals, reel bearings, bearing
lock screw and reel drive shaft are properly positioned
on cutting reel (see Reel Assembly Service in this sec-
tion).
CAUTION
Contact with the reel, bedknife or other cutting
unit parts can result in personal injury. Use
heavy gloves when installing the cutting reel.
3. Position the cutting unit on a flat work area. The roll-
ers, bedbar and cutting unit crossmember should be at-
tached to LH side plate. Make sure that LH pitch arm
(item 15) and compression spring (item 3) are fitted to
LH side plate.
4. Place flat wire spring into bearing bore of LH side
plate. Carefully slide the cutting reel assembly (with
flocked seals, reel bearings,bearing lock screwand reel
drive shaft) into the LH side plate. Make sure that bear-
ing is fully seated into side plate.
5. Carefully slide the RH side plate with RH pitch arm
(item 7) and compression spring (item 3) onto thecutting
reel assembly, front roller and rear roller. Make sure that
side plate is fully seated onto bearing on reel shaft.
6. Install shoulder bolts (item 4) and flange nuts (item
5) to secure the RH side plate to the crossmember.
Torque the shoulder bolts from 210 to 240 in--lb (24 to
27 N--m).
IMPORTANT: If reel drive shaft (item 4 in Fig. 36) is
to be tightened, use appropriate wrench or socket
on 1” hex surface ofshaft.Do not use1/2” extension
on end of reel drive shaftwhen loosening ortighten-
ing drive shaft. The 1/2” hex is intended for backlap-
ping only.
7. If bearing lock nut (RH threads) and reel drive shaft
(LH threads) were loosened during cutting reel service,
put a block of wood between the cutting reel blades to
prevent the reel from rotating. Torque bearing lock nut
(RH threads) and reel drive shaft (LH threads) from 90
to 110 ft--lb (123 to 149 N--m) (Fig. 36).
8. Secure the bedbar assembly to RH side plate (see
Bedbar Installation in this section). Make sure that plas-
tic and steel washers are properly positioned.
9. Secure front and rear rollers to RH side plate (see
Front Roller Installation and Rear Roller Installation in
this section).
10.Adjust cutting unit (see Cutting Unit Operator ’s
Manual).
NOTE: The parallel position of the rear roller to the cut-
ting reel is controlled by the precision machined cross-
member and side plates of the cutting unit. If necessary,
the cutting unit side plates can be loosened and a slight
adjustment can be m ade to parallel the rear roller with
the cutting reel (see Leveling Rear Roller in the Set--Up
and Adjustments section of this Chapter).
11.Install reel pulley, belt and reel drive cover to reel
drive assembly. Refer to Reel Drive Assembly in the
Service and Repairs section of Chapter 4 -- Traction and
Reel Drive System for procedure to install and adjust
these components.
12.Install cutting unit to the machine.
13.After all necessary adjustments have been made,
connect the battery pack (see Battery Pack Connection
in the General Information section of this chapter).
