Bedbar Installation (Fig. 24)
1. If rubber bushing was removed from either cutting
unit side plate, install a new bushing. The bushing
should be installed flush with the inside of the side plate
(Fig. 25).
2. If removed, install the flange bushings with flange
facing outward. Apply antiseize lubricant to inside of
flange bushing.
3. Apply antiseize lubricant to the bedbar threads and
the shoulder area of each bedbar pivot bolt.
4. Slide one metal washer and one plastic washer onto
each bedbar pivot bolt.
CAUTION
Contact with the reel, bedknife or other cutting
unit parts can result in personal injury. Use
heavy gloves when handling the bedbar.
5. Position bedbar into cutting unit. Make sure that the
top of each bedbar arm is between washer (item 4) and
adjuster screw flange.
6. Position a plastic washer between bedbar and each
cutting unit side plate (Fig. 25).
7. Install the bedbar pivot bolt assemblies:
A. Push each bedbar pivot bolt through the side
plate and into the bedbar enough to hold the bedbar
in position.
IMPORTANT: Do Not use a powered wrench or
an impact wrench to install the bedbar pivot
bolts.
B. Start threading of one of the pivot bolts into the
bedbar and continue until the pivot bolt bottoms out.
Repeat for remaining pivot bolt.
C. Make sure that plastic washers are not caught
on the threads of the pivot bolts.
D. Tighten each bedbar pivot bolt from 27 to 33 ft−
lbs (37 to 44 N−m).
8. Tighten both lock nuts (item 10) until outside metal
washer just rotates. Do not over tighten the lock nuts as
this can distort the side plates and affect reel to bedknife
contact, or in the case of cutting units with painted side
plates, reel bearing adjustment. The plastic washer be-
tween the bedbar and side plate should be loose.
