GENERAL INSTRUCTION
IMPORTANT NOTE
All maintenance and repair works described in this manual must be carried out only by the AGCO service network,
strictly complying with the instructions given and using the required special tools.
Anybody carrying out the above interventions without strictly complying with the prescriptions is fully responsible
for the occurred damage.
ADJUSTMENT SHIMS
During any adjustment, select the adjustment shims measuring them individually, by a micrometer, and then sum-
ming up the detected values: do not rely on the wrong measurement of the complete pack or on the rated value
stated for each ring.
ROTARY SHAFT SEALS
For correct rotating shaft seal installation, proceed as follows:
-- before assembly, leave the seals in oil bath, for at least half an hour, using the same oil they should contain;
-- carefully clean the shaft and make sure its working surface isn’t damaged;
-- direct the seal edge to the fluid; in case of hydrodynamic edge, the stripes must be directed so that, considering
the shaft rotation direction, the fluid is brought back to the sealing means;
-- lay a thin layer of lubricant on the seal edge (oil rather than grease) and fill with grease the gap between seal
edge and dust edge in case of double edge seals;
-- fit the seal in the relevant housing pressing it or using a drift with flat contact surface; do not beat it with hammer
or drift;
-- during driving, make sure the seal is perpendicular to its housing and, at the end of the driving, make sure it
touches the shoulder;
-- to prevent damaging the seal edge against the shaft, lay a suitable protection during installation of both parts.
”O--RINGS”
Lubricate O--rings before fitting them in their seats to prevent any rolling over and twisting, during assembly/installa-
tion, thus jeopardizing their sealing action.
SEALANTS
Before laying the sealant on the mating surfaces, prepare them as follows:
-- remove possible scales through a metal brush;
-- thoroughly degrease the surfaces by one of the following cleansers: trichloroethylene, oil, or a solution of water
and soda.
COTTER PINS
While fitting split cotter pins, make sure that their groove is directed towards the effort direction, stressing the pin.
Spiral cotter pins do not need any orientation during fitting.
