ADJUSTING BRACE
WARNING
If maintenance is carried out with the engine running, always have one worker sitting in the operator's seat while another worker
carries out the maintenance. Both workers must mutually confirm the safety during the operation.
Start the engine, then use fine operation of the blade control lever
to tilt to the left and right. Move the blade up and down while
rotating the brace handle. This makes the adjustment operation
easier.
When extending the brace
It is easy to carry out the adjustment if the blade is set on top of a
block and the brace handle is turned.
REMARK
When operated in this way, the blade is tilted, so the handle
gradually becomes heavier. When this happens, return the blade
from the tilt position to the horizontal position and turn the handle
again according to the procedure given above.
SHIM ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the thickness of shim so that the ball joint play (6 points) in
the axial direction (shown by the arrow) does not exceed 1 mm
(0.04 in).
1. Remove shim (1) and tighten bolts (2) to eliminate the ball joint
play.
2.
Measure clearance "A" and remove bolts (2).
3. Adjust the thickness of shim (1) to (A + 0.5) - (A + 1) mm, then
tighten bolt (2).
4.
Confirm that ball joint can move smoothly after tightening bolts.
