SECTION 00 -- GENERAL INFORMATION -- CHAPTER 2
00-8
Loosen the jam nut, 1, and thread the rod out of the
spring assembly until the hole is fully visible.
Retighten the jam nut.
IMPORTANT: Do not thread the rod out more than
114 mm (4 -1/2
″
) from the spring nut to the shoulder
on the rod or failure of the road and spring can occur.
If additional adjustment is required to gain access to
the rod hole, loosen the jam nut, 2, between the lower
mount rod and the spring nut, and thread the spring
away from the lower mount. Retighten the jam nut.
IMPORTANT: Do not thread the lower mount rod out
of the lower mount, 3, or failure of the spring
assembly can occur. Ensure that there is a minimum
of 5/8
″
thread engagement in both the lower mount
and the spring assembly, or rod failure will occur.
2. After adjustment of the spring, reinstall the pin, 2
Figure 5, which is wired to the jack stand in the
flotation spring rod hole. The pin has two detent
balls and is properly installed when a detent is on
either side of the flotation spring rod.
NOTE: If the pin is inserted too far, the retaining ring
canbeknockedoffandthepincanbelost.This
would cause loss of flotation.
NOTE: When completing the adjustment, position
the flotation spring rod, 1, Figure 5, so that the hole
is slightly above horizontal when viewed from the
rear before tightening the jam nut. This will ease
flotation pin installation.
NOTE: The tractor hydraulic valve should be placed
in the “float” position to allow the cutter to follow the
contour of the ground.
