Usage:
Typical Example
1. Use Tooling (B) to install a sleeve bearing in each end of the tilt link. Make sure that the bearings are centered in the bores.
Typical Example
2. Put 7M-7456 Compound in the lip seal bores of the tilt link. Use Tooling (A) to install a lip seal in each side of the tilt link. Install the lip of the seal toward the outside of the tilt link. Repeat this step for the opposite end of the tilt link. Put 5P-0960 Molybdenum Grease on the lip of the seals.
3. Be sure that the pin bores in the bucket, tilt lever and tilt link are clean and free of dirt and debris. Lubricate the bores and the pins with 5P-0960 Molybdenum Grease prior to installation. Put 5P-3931 Anti-Seize Compound on the inside and outside diameters of all collets before assembly.
4. Attach a hoist and a suitable lifting sling to tilt link (6), as shown. Put tilt link (6) in position in the tilt lever. The weight of the tilt link is 140 kg (309 lb).
5. Align the bores of the tilt link and the tilt lever and install pin (10) and the shim(s) (if required). The weight of the pin is 24 kg (53 lb).
6. Install collets (9) on each side of the tilt link pin assembly.
7. Put 5P-3931 Anti-Seize Compound on the threads of bolt (8). Install bolt (8), the nut and the washers in the tilt link pin assembly.
NOTE: The collet on one side must not extend farther than the other collet when the bolt and nut are tight.
8. Tighten the bolt and the nut that hold the collets to the tilt link pin as follows:
a. Tighten bolt (8) and the nut evenly to a torque of 1800 ± 200 N·m (1330 ± 150 lb ft). After the bolt and the nut are tight, hit the collet on each side with a heavy hammer until the torque on the bolt and the nut is less than 950 N·m (700 lb ft).
b. Tighten bolt (8) and the nut again to a torque of 1800 ± 200 N·m (1330 ± 150 lb ft). Hit each collet again until the torque for the bolt and the nut is less than 1600 N·m (1180 lb ft).
c. Tighten bolt (8) and the nut to a final torque of 1800 ± 200 N·m (1330 ± 150 lb ft).
NOTE: At the end of 50 service hours, tighten the bolt and the nut that hold the collets to the tilt link pin as in Steps 8a through 8c.
9. Reposition the lifting sling and hoist to the bucket end of tilt link (6), as shown.
10. Start the engine and move the joystick control lever to the DUMP position. Operate the hydraulic controls and the hoist to align the bores of the bucket and the tilt link. Stop the engine.
11. Attach a hoist and a suitable lifting sling to tilt link pin (7). Install the pin and the shim(s) (if required) in the tilt link. The weight of the pin is 24 kg (53 lb).
12. Install collets (5) on each side of the tilt link pin assembly.
13. Put 5P-3931 Anti-Seize Compound on the threads of bolt (4). Install bolt (4), the washers and the nut in the tilt link pin assembly.
NOTE: The collet on one side must not extend farther than the other collet when the bolts are tight.
14. Tighten the bolt and the nut that hold the collets to the tilt link pin as follows:
a. Tighten bolt (4) and the nut evenly to a torque of 1800 ± 200 N·m (1330 ± 150 lb ft). After the bolt and the nut are tight, hit the collet on each side with a heavy hammer until the torque on the bolt is less than 950 N·m (700 lb ft).
b. Tighten bolt (4) and the nut again to a torque of 1800 ± 200 N·m (1330 ± 150 lb ft). Hit each collet again until the torque for the bolt and the nut is less than 1600 N·m (1180 lb ft).
c. Tighten bolt (4) and the nut to a final torque of 1800 ± 200 N·m (1330 ± 150 lb ft).
NOTE: At the end of 50 service hours, tighten the bolt and the nut that hold the collets to the bucket end of the tilt link pin assembly as in Steps 14a through 14c.
15. Connect lubrication hose assemblies (1) and (2) (if equipped) to the manifold on the tilt lever.
16. Install hose clip (3) (if equipped).
17. Lubricate the mounting pins. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual for the machine that is being serviced.
End By:
a. Remove steering frame lock pin. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Steering Frame Lock Pin - Remove and Install" for the machine that is being serviced.
