Assembling the Bedbar
1. Install the bedbar, positioning the mounting ears
between the washer and the bedbar adjuster.
2. Secure the bedbar to each side plate with the
bedbar bolts (nuts on bolts) and the 6 washers.
Note:
Position a nylon washer on the each side
of the side-plate boss. Place a steel washer
outside of the outer nylon washers
3. Torque the bedbar bolts to 27 to 36 N∙m (240
to 320 in-lb).
4. Tighten the locknuts equally on each side until
the outer steel washers cannot be rotated by
hand. Then loosen the locknuts until the outer
steel washers just rotate by hand, yet there is no
bedbar end play
Note:
Overtightening the locknuts can deflect
the side plates and the bedbar, which can affect
reel-to-bedknife contact.
Note:
The washers on the inside may have a
gap.
Note:
Do not overtighten the nuts, as damage
to the spring may occur.
