the hopper raised for maintenance. Always

engage the safety arm before servicing the

Frame Seal Replacement

Front Frame Seal

The hopper frame seal bolts to the front edge of the

engine pan. Install a new seal by folding it in half to

align the holes. Doubled edge with holes goes on the

bottom. Support the seal straight up while bolting the

retainer bar in place. The seal should fall over the

retainer bar after installation. Be certain that the seal

edges are aligned to prevent twisting of the seal.

Side Frame Seal

The side frame seals should clear the oor by at

least .125 in (0,32 cm). If the bottom of a side seal

measures .50 in (1,27 cm) or more above the oor,

readjust it or replace it by removing the bolts on the

inside of the wheel wells, installing a new seal, and

securing it with the bolts. The double edge with the

holes goes toward the front.

PARKING BRAKE

Normal adjustment of the parking brake can be

accomplished from the operator compartment. Locate

the knurled handle on the parking brake lever. Turn the

handle clockwise to increase brake tension.

NOTE: Two or three turns is usually adequate. DO

NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

If this adjustment becomes ineffective, it will be

necessary to adjust the cable length.
