Distribution Block Assembly<br />

NOTE: See specific frame Parts<br />

Book for available divider valve<br />

assembly drawings, parts lists,<br />

and repair kits.<br />

1. Thread three tie rods into inlet<br />

block until the ends flush with the<br />

top surface of the block.<br />

2. Slide Intermediate blocks onto tie<br />

rods. Verify all o-rings are<br />

installed and discharge ports are<br />

off center toward the inlet block.<br />

3. Slide end block onto tie rods.<br />

4. Lay baseplate assembly on a flat<br />

surface. Use the torquing procedure<br />

in Appendix A to tighten the<br />

tie rod nuts to the torque value in<br />

Table A-3.<br />

5. Mount the divider valves with<br />

o-rings onto the baseplate. Use<br />

the torquing recommdations in<br />

Appendix A to tighten valve<br />

screws to the torque listed in<br />

Divider Valve Bypass Pressure Test<br />

Lubricant can leak (by-pass) from a divider valve when the divider valve piston becomes worn.<br />

Pressure test or replace all divider valves every twelve months. Testing verifies the piston fits tightly<br />

enough in the divider valve bore for adequate pressure to force oil into the injection point. The<br />

supplier pressure tests all new <strong>Ariel</strong> divider valves.<br />

To test distribution blocks for valve by-passing requires a manual purge gun with a pressure gauge<br />

capable of developing 5000 psig (350 barg ). <strong>Ariel</strong> offers an optional force feed lubrication hand purge<br />

gun with a pressure gauge (see Tools section in technical manual). Pressure test each divider valve<br />

one at a time, complete with pin indicators installed.<br />
