14. New bushing installation requires a press. To install a<br />

bushing in the crosshead, cool the bushing in 95%<br />

alcohol with dry ice solution. Leave the bushing in the<br />

solution long enough to reach the same temperature<br />

as the solution, about -110°F (-80°C).<br />

CAUTION: Do not touch cold surfaces without<br />

proper protection. Alcohol is flammable; use it<br />

only in open air or well-ventilated buildings.<br />

Avoid sparks and open flame. Avoid alcohol<br />

vapors which may cause injury to nose and<br />

eye tissue. Do not return solution to a closed<br />

container until it reaches room temperature or<br />

container may explode.<br />

NOTE: Directly support the crosshead side<br />

from possibly crushing the crosshead (see<br />

Fig. 4-30). Thoroughly clean bushing and crosshead<br />

to prevent dirt accumulation between bushing and crosshead bore.<br />

15. Inspect shoe surfaces; there should be no wear whatsoever.<br />

Crosshead Installation<br />

NOTE: Return crossheads to their original throw location. Use frame oil for lubrication where<br />

needed.<br />

1. Lay a 3/16 inch (5 mm) thick plate in the bottom of the crosshead guide and lay crosshead on its<br />

side (see Fig. 4-31). Oil crosshead and guide surfaces.<br />

2. Mount Crosshead Installation Tool onto crosshead guide<br />

diaphragm and oil tool bearing surfaces. See Fig. 4-31.<br />

With tool mounted on diaphragm, install diaphragm into<br />

crosshead guide. Slide crosshead onto tool.<br />

NOTE: Long 2-compartment crosshead guides supplied<br />

prior to 11/08 require a crosshead installation<br />

tool with a smaller pilot diameter. Contact <strong>Ariel</strong> for the<br />

proper tool.<br />

3. Remove 3/16 inch (5 mm) thick plate. Rotate crosshead<br />

90°. Slide crosshead into guide and off of the installation<br />

tool. Verify it does not become cocked. If crosshead<br />

becomes wedged, do not force it. Ease it off and start<br />

again. Be careful not to damage crosshead shoe surface<br />

during installation.<br />

4. Remove crosshead installation tool and reinstall wiper<br />

packing.<br />
