Installing the Belly Shield
(Model 30710 & 30710TE)
1. Position the traction unit on level surface, shut the
engine off, and engage the parking brake.
2. Block up the forward end of the engine to prevent it
from shifting during disassembly.
3. Remove the capscrew and flange nut securing the front
engine support to the frame. Secure the belly shield
hanger and engine support to the frame with a capscrew
(3/8 x 1-1/4 in.) and flange nut. Repeat the procedure on
the opposite side of the machine (Fig. 5). Discard the
capscrew (3/8 x 1 in.)\ removed (gas units only).
Note: On diesel units, a 3/8 in. thick spacer must be
inserted between the shield hanger and frame.
