Drilling the Platform Supports

Checking the Platform Supports

Look at the vertical flange (Figure 3) of the left and right platform supports. If the vertical flanges have holes, skip to Assembling the Mirror Arms.

Drilling the Left Platform Support

  1. Measure the platform bracket 25.5 mm (1 inch) as shown in Figure 4, and mark the bracket.

    g325804g326740
  2. Measure the platform bracket 17.2 mm (5/8 inch) as shown in Figure 4, and mark the bracket.

  3. Measure the platform bracket 84.3 mm (3-5/16 inch) as shown in Figure 4, and mark the bracket.

  4. Measure the platform bracket 18.4 mm (25/32 inch) as shown in Figure 4, and mark the bracket.

  5. Centerpunch the platform bracket at the intersecting marks.

  6. Drill a 7 mm (1/4 inch hole) at each of the centerpunch marks (Figure 5).

    g325802
  7. Remove any burrs from the holes.

Drilling the Right Platform Support

  1. Measure the platform bracket 22.9 mm (29/32 inch) as shown in Figure 6, and mark the bracket.

    g325809g326741
  2. Measure the platform bracket 14.9 mm (9/16 inch) as shown in Figure 6, and mark the bracket.

  3. Measure the platform bracket 84.3 mm (3-5/16 inch) as shown in Figure 6, and mark the bracket.

  4. Measure the platform bracket 16.1 mm (5/8 inch) as shown in Figure 6, and mark the bracket.

  5. Centerpunch the platform bracket at the intersecting marks.

  6. Drill a 7 mm (1/4 inch hole) at each of the centerpunch marks (Figure 7).

    g325803
  7. Remove any burrs from the holes.

Assembling the Mirror Arms

Parts needed for this procedure:

Left mirror bracket1
Right mirror bracket1
Mirror arm2
Countersunk screw (6 x 16 mm)2
Flange-head screw (6 x 20 mm)2
Washer2
  1. Align the holes in the left mirror bracket with the holes in a mirror-arm mount as shown in Figure 8.

    Note: The difference between the left mirror bracket and the right mirror bracket is the location of the countersink. Align the countersink of the mirror bracket away from the mirror-arm mount.

    g323913
  2. Secure the mirror bracket to the mirror-arm mount (Figure 8) with a flange-head screw (6 x 20 mm) and washer, and a countersunk screw (6 x 16 mm).Figure 8).

  3. Loosen the 2 socket head screws that secure the halves of the mirror clamp (Figure 9).

    g323630
  4. Assemble the mirror arm into the mirror clamp and tighten the 2 socket head screws (Figure 9).

  5. Align the holes in the right mirror bracket with the holes in a mirror-arm mount (Figure 8).

    Note: Align the countersink of the mirror bracket away from the mirror-arm mount.

  6. Repeat step 2 through 4 for the mirror bracket, mirror-arm, and mirror.

Assembling the Mirrors to the Machine

Parts needed for this procedure:

Flange-head screw (6 x 25 mm)4
Flange locknut (6 mm)4

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

  1. Align the holes of the left mirror bracket to the holes in the vertical flange of the left platform support (Figure 10).

    g323955
  2. Secure the mirror bracket to the platform support (Figure 10) with 2 flange-head screws (6 x 25 mm) and 2 flange locknut (6 mm).

  3. Align the holes of the right mirror bracket to the holes in the vertical flange of the right platform support (Figure 10).

  4. Secure the mirror bracket to the platform support (Figure 10) with 2 flange-head screws (6 x 25 mm) and 2 flange locknut (6 mm).

Preparing the Debris Shields

Machine Models 31654, 31657, and 31659
  1. Remove the knock-out panels from the left and right debris shields (Figure 11).

    g323643
  2. Use a file to remove sharp edges from the openings in the debris shields (Figure 11).

  3. Apply black touch-up paint to the unpainted edges of the shields.

Installing the Debris Shield
