SECTION 2 - ASSEMBLY
Main Frame Roller Installation (Instructions for 41’, 46’ & 53’)
(NOTE: 41’ shown in drawings)
MF1. Position 8P4211 on a at even surface; block the roller to avoid unexpected movement. CAU-
TION: The 11’ roller weighs 3300 lbs., use extreme care when moving rollers and frame com-
ponents. NOTE: An H has been stamped onto one end of each roller. Position the center roller
with the H to the left. All other rollers should have the H positioned to the center of the machine.
MF2. Use a fork lift or crane to position the main frame 8P7122 over the center drum and lower the
frame so the roller axle stubs t between the bearing hangers as shown in the Figure 1.
MF3. Install bearings with the grease zerk toward the rear of the machine. Secure to bolt plates
with the hardware shown. Install reinforcement angles between the bottom attachment hole
on the inside of the bolt plate, as shown in Figure 1.
MF4. Install snap rings on each roller shaft. Ensure that the roller is centered in the bearings and
tighten the set screws.
MF5. Before removing the lifting device for the main frame, block the frame in the locations shown
in Figure 1, also install blocks under the roller to keep it from rolling.
Figure 1
SNAP RING IS OPTIONAL.
DUE TO MANUFACTURING TOLERANCE THE SNAP RING MAY NOT BE NEEDED.
