Remove the reel nuts from the cutting reel. Check the splines in the reel nuts
for excessive wear or distortion and replace them if necessary.
2.
Slide the bearings and seals from the reel shaft. Discard the seals and
inspect the reel bearings to insure that they spin freely and have a minimal
amount of axial play.
3. Inspect the reel as follows:
A. Place the reel shaft ends in V-blocks and check the reel shaft for
distortion.
B. Check the threads in the ends of the reel shaft.
C. Check the reel blades for bending or cracking.
D. Check the service limit of the reel diameter; refer to
for Grinding (page
Replace the reel if damage is evident.
The seal must be installed with the flocked side of the seal toward
the bearing.
4. Slide the new flocked seals and the bearings onto the reel shaft until they
contact the shoulder of the reel shaft.
