disengaged from the turret bearing ring (15,
Figure 6-12).
2. Remove the clevis pin (1, Figure 6-12), cotter pin (2) and
washer (3) securing the cable (4) to the swing lock (5).
3. Remove shim (6, Figure 6-12) and attaching hardware
screws (7) and lockwashers (8).
4. Remove four screws (9, Figure 6-12), bushings (10) and
flatwashers (11) and move swing lock (5) from the turret.
5. Remove two springs (12) from the swing lock. Inspection
the springs for wear or damage, replace springs as
needed.
Inspect the swing lock assembly for wear or damage;
replace parts as needed.
Installation
1. Position the swing lock (5, Figure 6-12) onto the turret
and secure with four screws (9, Figure 6-12). bushings
(10) and flatwashers (11).
2. Place shim (6, Figure 6-12) on top of swing lock
mounting block and secure with screws (7) and
lockwashers (8)
Use shim to eliminate all side to side movement
between the swing lock (5, Figure 6-12) and the swing
lock mounting blocks welded to the turret.
3. Attach the cable (4, Figure 6-12) to the swing lock (5)
with clevis pin (1), cotter pin (2) and washer (3).
4. Adjust the cable (4, Figure 6-12) using the following
instructions.
a. Engage swing lock assembly with turret bearing ring
so that maximum tooth engagement is achieved.
b. View A, Figure 6-12 shows a side view of the swing
lock engaged with the turret bearing gear teeth (15).

between turret bearing teeth (15) and the swing lock
is . 57 in (14.5 mm). This will allow the turret bearing
ring to rotate freely and provide maximum
engagement when the swing lock is applied.

the bolt comes in contact with the link on swing
assembly. Tighten hex nut (14).

control lever several times to verify that the lock
engages and disengages from the bearing ring gear
(15) properly. Adjust the cable as required.
