Checking Standard Bushings

NOTE: Before checking wear on bushings, spring must be compressed until tension is off pivot bolt. Use spring compression tool provided with machine. (See REPLACING SPLIT- TENSION BUSHINGS, in this section, on how to use tool.)

When side-to-side movement of shank measures 38-51 mm (1-1/2-2 in.) at sweep (A), replace worn chrome and/or split-tension bushings (B). (See REPLACING SPLIT-TENSION BUSHINGS in this section.)

NOTE: A new shank assembly can have 0-6 mm (0-1/4 in.) side-to-side movement.
