on the top of the rack section and then loosen the two bolts
M12x60
. Loosen the six bolts
M12x30
on the
side of the rack section a few turns to take the pressure off the rack shaft.
5.
Support the rotating cylinder so that it no longer rests on the
fork carrier
gear wheel.
(Use appropriate lifting equipment; the minimum lifting capacity must exceed the weight of the box rotator;
see technical data - chapter 2.1)

of the shaft plug from the
bearing house of the
fork carrier
. Clean the bearing housing and the shaft plug, and check for wear and tear.
Contact the dealer after detecting any wear. Also, check the lubrication. The lubricant must be applied to the
bearing bush via the grease nipple and the opening on the shaft plug. Clean the lubrication duct, if necessary.
9.
Push the new
tapered roller bearings
around the shaft plug and in the bearing house, as shown in figure
3.3.1.
10.
Return the
fork carrier
to the
back plate
. Avoid any damage to the
tapered
roller bearings
by means of good
support and guidance. Make sure the
fork carrier
and the
rotating cylinder
are repositioned correctly in
relation to the
back plate
.
11.
Mount and firmly secure the locking plate, using the
bolts M12x50
