2. Slide the spacers onto the castor spindle to get the
desired height-of-cut; refer to figure 11 to determine the
combinations of spacers for the setting.. Slide a thrust
washer onto the spindle, push the castor spindle through
the castor arm. Install another thrust washer and the
remaining spacers onto the spindle and install the
tensioning cap to secure the assembly (Fig. 5).
Important The thrust washers, not the spacers, must
contact the top and bottom of the castor arm.
Installing the Lift Arms to the
Traction Unit
1. On one side of the traction unit, loosen (do not remove)
the wheel nuts securing the wheel and tire assembly to
the front wheel studs.
2. Jack up the machine until the front wheel is off of the
floor. Use jack stands or block the machine to prevent it
from accidentally falling.
3. Remove the wheel nuts and slide the wheel and tire
assembly off of the studs.
4. Mount a lift arm to the pivot bracket with a pivot pin
and cotter pin (Fig. 6). The lift arms ends are to be
positioned so the ends curve outward.
5. Mount the rear of the lift arm to the lift cylinder with a
pivot pin and (2) cotter pins (supplied with the traction
unit).
6. Hook the brake return spring to the hole in the lift arm
(Fig. 6).
