LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER PINS 1.All lock washers/plates Q and cotter pins must be replaced when they are removed. Lock tab(s) should be bent along the bolt or nut flat(s) after the bolt or nut has been properly tightened. BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS 1.Install the bearing(s) Q and oil seal(s) W with their manufacturer’s marks or numbers facing outward. (In other words, the stamped letters must be on the side exposed to view.) When installing oil seal(s), apply a light coating of lightweight lithium base grease to the seal lip(s). Oil the bearings liberally when installing. Do not use compressed air to spin the bearings dry. This causes damage to the bearing surfaces. CAUTION :
