ton; it should not protrude more than 0.010 in. (0.25 mm) past the piston face. The nut should be<br />
flush or recessed.<br />
7. Perform steps 12 through 14 in “Manual Piston and Rod Reassembly” on page 4-10.<br />
Piston and Rod Installation<br />
1. Install piston/rod assembly with piston rings and wear band into cylinder. The threaded crosshead<br />
end of the rod is 1/4 inches (6mm) smaller than the inside diameter of the packing. An entry<br />
sleeve is unnecessary with reasonable care, but a plastic sleeve may help prevent damage to<br />
packing rings. The <strong>Ariel</strong> tool box includes a piston rod entry sleeve (see Fig. 1-1).<br />
2. See “Crosshead Installation” on page 4-25 for details to re-attach piston rod to crosshead, check<br />
piston end clearance, piston rod runout and crosshead clearances, and re-assemble to close cylinder<br />
and crosshead guide.<br />

Piston Rod Runout<br />
Check piston rod run out after new unit installation, unit relocation, or maintenance that may affect<br />
rod run out.<br />
Verify proper shimming of crosshead guides to level. Verify the crossheads directly contact the bottom<br />
of the crosshead guide. A 0.0015 inch (0.04 mm) feeler stock should not insert more than 1/2<br />
inches (13 mm) at all four corners of the crosshead.<br />
Position the stem of a 0.0001 inch (0.001 mm) increment calibrated<br />
dial indicator against the piston rod, close to the packing<br />
case. Set indicator to zero with piston toward the crank<br />
end. Take readings in both vertical and horizontal directions.<br />
When measuring vertical rod movement, record upward<br />
movement as positive and downward movement as negative.<br />
When measuring horizontal rod movement, record movement<br />
toward the auxiliary end of the frame as positive and<br />

Rotate crankshaft manually and record readings at mid-stroke and with piston at the head end. Compare<br />
readings to Table 4-3.<br />
