MAINTENANCE

Place thread locking compound on the threads and install the hardened washers and top lock nuts on the rods extending through the bottom of the deck. Torque these rods to 230 Ft-Lbs. See FIGURE

Mnt-B-0021.

Measure the distance that the rods extend through the top mount plate, this needs to be 7/8" to 15/16". To get this height adjust the two jam nuts to the buck plate. Once the required distance is achieved place thread locking compound on the threads and lock the two nuts together. See FIGURE Mnt-B- 0021.

Check to make sure the flat washer is not contacting the bottom of the mount plate. There should be a 1/4" gap between the flat washer and the mount plate. See FIGURE Mnt-B-0022.

Place thread locking compound on the threads and install the hardened flat washers and top lock nuts. Torque these nuts to 100 Ft.-Lbs. in three increments and following the positions 1 thru 4. Recheck torque values after reaching the final positions. See FIGURE Mnt-B-0023.

Place thread locking compound on the threads and run the hardened flat washers and jam nuts up tight against the bottom of the mount plate. Lock jam nuts together. See FIGURE Mnt-B-0024.
