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 />
