6.6.2 Assemble the rotating element and the bearing frame (STi and MTi
with duplex bearings)
WARNING:
Lifting and handling heavy equipment or components poses a crush hazard. Use caution dur-
ing lifting and handling and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE, such as
steel-toed shoes, gloves, etc.) at all times. Seek assistance if necessary.
CAUTION:
Risk of physical injury from hot bearings. Wear insulated gloves when using a bearing heater.
NOTICE:
Ensure that the pipe threads are clean. Apply thread sealant to the plugs and fittings. Failure to
do so may result in oil leaks and equipment damage.
NOTICE:
There are several methods used to install bearings. The recommended method is to use an
induction heater that heats as well as demagnetizes the bearings. Failure to use this method
may result in equipment damage.
1.
Prepare the bearing frame (228) as follows (see the illustration):
