Install the new bucket tip onto the adapter.Note: The bucket tips can be rotated by 180 degrees to allow the tip to wear evenly. You may also move the tips from the outside teeth to the inside teeth. Check the tips often. If wear is present on the tips, rotate the tips. The outside teeth generate the most wear.
Drive the pin through the bucket tip. The pin can be installed by using one of the following methods:
From the same side of the retainer, drive the pin through the bucket tip, the retainer assembly, and the adapter.
Use a Pin-Master. Follow Step 5.a through Step 5.e for the procedure.
