19. Run then shutdown the compressor for ten minutes, one hour, and four hour run times. After<br />

each shutdown, remove the frame top cover. Check bearing cap temperatures with a hand held<br />

thermocouple probe or infrared thermometer and record on a copy of the form in Appendix D. DO<br />

NOT PLACE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY INSIDE THE CRANKCASE WITHOUT OBSERVING<br />

THE CAUTION ON PAGE 4-33. Complete remaining information on the form in Appendix D and<br />

fax it to <strong>Ariel</strong> Technical Services.<br />

Main Bearings - Checking Clearances<br />

1. Do not remove main bearing caps to check bearing wear. If a cap is removed, replace the bearing.<br />

DO NOT REUSE BEARING SHELLS.<br />

2. To determine main bearing wear, compare journal bearing vertical jack (at each bearing) and<br />

crankshaft thrust clearances against clearance limits in Table B-1 in Appendix B. Use calibrated<br />

dial indicators with 0.0005 inch (0.005 mm) increments and magnetic stands to check clearances.<br />

To measure main bearing vertical jack clearances:<br />

• Turn an adjacent throw up, as shown in Fig. 4-40.<br />

• Place lifting strap completely around the crankshaft at the adjacent web and attach strap to a<br />

crane.<br />

• Install a magnetic stand on the top of the main bearing cap, with a needle type dial indicator<br />

placed against the top of the crankshaft web of the adjacent turned up throw.<br />

• Gently lift crankshaft with crane until dial indicator needle stops moving.<br />

• Repeat for each main bearing.<br />

3. To measure crankshaft thrust clearance:<br />

• Install a magnetic stand on the top of #1 main bearing cap, with a button type dial indicator<br />

placed against the side of the adjacent crankshaft web, see Fig. 4-41.<br />

• Thrust crankshaft back and forth with a pry bar against the compressor frame, until an accurate<br />

reading is obtained.<br />

• If thrust clearance is out of limits, replace thrust plates at #1 main bearing cap.<br />
