Piston and Rod - Installation<br />

1. Install the piston-rod-assembly with piston rings and wear band into the cylinder.<br />

The threaded crosshead end of the rod is 1/4 inches (6mm) smaller than the<br />

inside diameter of the packing. It is not necessary to use an entering sleeve if<br />

reasonable care is taken, but a plastic sleeve may be helpful to be sure that the<br />

packing rings are not damaged. A piston rod entering sleeve is provided in the<br />

<strong>Ariel</strong> tool box, see Figure 7-3 on Page 7-3. For longer rods, a separately purchased<br />

piston rod support can be useful, see Figure 7-10 on Page 7-6. See<br />

“Piston Rings - Installation” on Page 5-43 and “Wear Band - Installation” on<br />

Page 5-43.<br />

2. See “Crosshead - Installation” on Page 5-12 for details to re-attach piston rod to<br />

crosshead, check piston end clearance, piston rod runout and crosshead clearances,<br />

and re-assemble to close cylinder and crosshead guide.<br />
