Mast Bearings
The shims used under each roller bearing come
in the following sizes: thin, medium, and thick.
If the bearings are too loose, you should add
shims to the bearing. If the roller bearings are
shimmed too tight, causing wear along the
I
-
beam or mast shaving, reduce the shim
thickness. Although different combinations of
shims may be used to obtain the proper
adjustment, you should
try
to maintain equal
shim thickness on each side of the main frame
and masts.
Upper Mast Bearing Replacement
Use extreme care when blocking the
mast for any reason. Never remove the
block when it
is
supporting the mast.
1. Slightly elevate the carriage to gain access
to the bearings.
2.
Block the carriage before you attempt to
remove the roller bearing.
You may also use a lift hoist to pull the
carriage upward to gain access to the
roller bearing. Put a strap suitable to
handle the weight of the carriage around
the uppermost cross tie. Once the carriage
is raised in place, block it into position.
3.
Turn the key switch OFF and disconnect
the battery connector.
ACAUTION
Do not damage the mast when prying
with the screwdriver.
