• 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 />
