5.19 Thru-Shaft Motor Bearing Pre-Load
The bearing preload setting in the thru-shaft hy-
draulic motor that spins the spray head is critical
to the proper operation of the thru-shaft motor.
The bearings are carefully preset at the factory.
Then, each motor is run for several hours to break-
in the bearings and components. When break-in
is complete, the bearing preload is reset and the
motors are tested again on the truck and with
pressure applied. This normally ensures trouble
free operation of the thru-shaft motors and they
don’t require further adjustment.
Even though every effort is made at the factory
to ensure the through shaft motors are properly
broken-in and will provide trouble free operation,
there are situations where the bearing preload will
need to be reset after the truck has been operating
in the field for a period of time. Setting the bear -
ing preload is not difficult and will not take much
time. The following instructions will guide you
through the bearing preload process and provide
the information you need to do the job properly
and in the shortest possible time.
The instructions provide information on the tools
and materials you will need as well as the step
by step process. You can save time by reading
the instructions completely before beginning and
making sure you have all the tools and supplies
you will need readily available.
