h. Carefully place the turntable on a suitably sup-

ported trestle.

i. Use a suitable tool to scribe a line on the outer

race of the swing bearing and the frame. This
line will aid in aligning the bearing upon installa-
tion. Remove the bolts and washers which
attach the outer race of the bearing to the frame.
Discard the bolts. Use suitable lifting equipment
to remove the bearing from the frame, then
move the bearing to a clean, suitably supported
work area.

2. Installation.

a. Using suitable lifting equipment, carefully lower

the swing bearing into position on the frame.
Ensure the scribed line of the outer race of the
bearing aligns with the scribed line on the frame.
If a new swing bearing is used, ensure that the
filler plug fitting is at 90 degrees from the fore
and aft center line of the frame.

JLG INDUSTRIES RECOMMENDS THAT ALL REMOVED BEARING
BOLTS BE DISCARDED AND REPLACED WITH NEW BOLTS. SINCE
THE SWING BEARING IS THE ONLY STRUCTURAL LINK BETWEEN
THE FRAME AND TURNTABLE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT SUCH
REPLACEMENT HARDWARE MEETS JLG SPECIFICATIONS. USE
OF GENUINE JLG HARDWARE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

b. Apply a light coating of Loctite #271 to the new

bearing bolts, and loosely install the bolts and
washers through the frame and outer race of
bearing.

IF COMPRESSED AIR OR ELECTRICALLY OPERATED IMPACT
WRENCH IS USED FOR TIGHTENING THE BEARING ATTACHMENT
BOLTS, THE TORQUE SETTING ACCURACY OF THE TOOL SHOULD
BE CHECKED PRIOR TO USE.
