  Return the retaining ring against the shroud 

washer and position the retaining ring 
ears over the shear pin head, as shown in 
Figure 137. This will prevent the shear pin 
from falling out if the shroud washer should 
rotate during operation.

  Remove the four gap-bed cap screws, shown 

in Figure 139.

The gap insert directly under the spindle (see 
Figure 138) can be removed to create additional 
space for turning large diameter parts.

The gap insert was installed, then ground flush 
with the bed at the factory to ensure a precision 
fit and alignment. Therefore, if the gap insert is 
removed, it may be difficult to re-install with the 
same degree of accuracy.

  Remove the two way-end cap screws.

  Tighten the two dowel-pin jack nuts until the 

pins are pulled free from the gap insert.

  Tap the outside of the gap insert with a dead 

blow hammer to loosen it, then remove it.
