• Use a separately purchasedcrosshead-balance<br />
nut hydraulic torque<br />
tool and hand pump kit.<br />
See Table A-3 in Appendix<br />
A for the hydraulic<br />
pressure to apply to the<br />
torque tool. When initially<br />
installing the tool, position<br />
the spanner wrench<br />
adapter open area<br />
toward the spanner<br />
wrench as shown in the<br />
figure. Apply hydraulic<br />
pressure to the ram to<br />
tighten the crossheadbalance<br />
nut. When the<br />
ram ends its travel,<br />
release pressure and<br />
index the ram to the<br />
spanner wrench slot and/<br />
or spanner wrench to<br />
adapter, until the nut<br />
stops moving at the<br />
specified hydraulic pressure.<br />

the adapter open area turns 90° before nut is tight, remove the spanner wrench. Remove the<br />
bolting in the spanner wrench adapter to the crosshead-balance nut and reposition the adapter<br />
so the open area again faces the spanner wrench.<br />
CAUTION: Do not allow open areas of spanner wrench and adapter to overlap, as<br />
the spanner wrench can be sprung. If the spanner wrench becomes sprung, destroy<br />
it and replace it.<br />
• When nut is tight, remove the feeler gage by hand. Verify removal of all tools from cylinder and<br />
crosshead.<br />
10. With the head end head or unloader properly installed (closed position) and fasteners tightened,<br />
rotate crankshaft 180° to outer dead center position of throw. Remove a top head end valve.<br />
Determine required piston head end clearance limits from cylinder data plate, see Table B-2 in<br />
Appendix B. Measure head end clearance at the top of the head end. Using feeler gages through<br />
the open valve pocket, check head end clearance. Determine if measured clearance is within tolerance.<br />
Tighten the crosshead-balance nut set screws. Re-install valve assemblies and properly<br />
tighten fasteners. See page 4-7.<br />
11. Check piston rod runout and crosshead clearances upon re-assembly, any time a piston rod is<br />
removed. See “Piston Rod Runout” on page 4-14, and Table B-1 in Appendix B for crosshead<br />
clearances and checking procedure.<br />
12. Replace crosshead guide side covers and gaskets, tighten all capscrews hand wrench tight.<br />
Lubricate both sides of cover gaskets with anti-sieze lubricant or multi-purpose grease to ease<br />
future removal.<br />
