Checks and Measurements
▪
Isolator Alignment
: Inspect all six isolators to ensure proper alignment. If required,
unscrew the nuts and adjust the isolators so that the opposing threaded portions of
each isolator are aligned.
▪
Measure skew distance
: Report any skew which is greater than 4 mm (measured from
bolt centre to bolt centre) as shown in Figure L-18.
Note: Use a measurement tool,
such as a ruler, calipers or similar.
Ensure proper alignment.

▪
Compression check
: Measure the distance of compression on all six isolators and
ensure
that it is less than 21 mm as shown in Figure L-19. If it is greater than this
value, the isolator will be in tension and will likely fail. Contact the Customer Service
Centre.
Use only in compression.

Minimise the skew distance and
report if over 4 mm.
Must be 21 mm or less.
