(Contact your Parts Department for appropriate segment part number.)(4) Mark the center of each segment hole (X) on the scribed line. Repeat this procedure for each center segment location.(5) Position an end segment (2) so that one bolt hole is directly over a front end bit hole (3). With these holes aligned, move the segment until the scribed line is visible through bolt hole (4). Mark the center of hole (4) on the scribed line.(6) Repeat this procedure for the other end of the bucket.(7) With a titanium-nitride-coated spade drill blade, drill the twelve holes marked with an (X).(8) Install the segments with bolts and nuts specified, and tighten the nuts to the torque given.
