b. Installation
1. Using a suitable hoist, remove the axle from
its support or stand and position it under the
frame so that pivot pin holes are aligned with
hole in axle.
2. Install the axle pivot pin and shims. There
must be no more than a 0.10" (2,5 mm) gap
between the frame and axle. Secure the pin in
place with a cap screw and locknut. Tighten
locknut until snug against collar, then an
additional 1/4 turn.
3. Secure the frame tilt cylinder rod end to the
frame mounting blocks, Fig. 5.7, with a pin and
two retaining rings. The pin must pass easily
through both mounting blocks. If not, shim the
blocks as required. Lubricate the pin using the
grease fitting on the cylinder rod.
4. Install the drive shaft on the axle input shaft
end yoke. Be sure retaining rings are securely
seated.
