WARNING:
When performing the work
described in these instructions, always work safely
and use proper safety equipment to help avoid
injury. Always wear hard hat, gloves, safety shoes,
eye protection, hearing protection and fall
protection per regional, national and site
requirements (e.g., OSHA, MSHA) when
performing maintenance work. To avoid injury to
others, keep bystanders well out of the way.
Adapter Removal for S95
Clean debris from adapter pin head slot and remove cap from pin head.
•
Retract Pin –
Insert 14 mm hex bit into the head of the S95 pin and
turn clockwise until the pin body is
fully retracted.
Do not continue to turn after ‘stop’ is felt. The Sidewinder
®
pin is designed for operation with
a ratchet wrench and should not normally require use of an air-impact wrench.
IMPORTANT:
The Sidewinder pin is not usually removed from the nose hole during an adapter change-out.
Remove only when there appears to be damage or the pin is due for maintenance.
•
Remove Adapter –
Use appropriate lifting devices to support and remove adapter. If soil fines resist adapter
removal, use a pry bar between the back sides of the adapter and the side shoulders of the nose.
IMPORTANT:
Remove worn out adapters directly after
taking the bucket out of service, before soil fines
harden in place.
Adapter Installation with S95 – Continued
• Using a 14 mm hex bit and a socket drive,
turn hex
socket end of the S95RPN pin counterclockwise to
extend the pin into the pin hole
in the opposite side
of the adapter. Tighten to the recommended pin torque
value indicated below.
• Insert the pin cap to prevent the pin hex socket from filling
with soil fines. Cap should snap into place.
Retighten S95 Pin
Retighten the pin every 600 to 1200 hours of operating service
depending on the severity of application.
Recommended Pin Torque
(To assure adapter is fully installed).
