8 In order to prevent damage to the engine radiator
and to ensure a clean lift is achieved a pair of M12
eye bolts will be required to be fitted to the roof
section on the radiator end of the canopy. The
mounting positions are blanked off with normal
hex head screws at present, remove these and
replace with eye bolts.
9. Use a set of three or four leg chains. Attach two
to the centre lifting eye and snag the other two to
shorten them so that they pick up the radiator end
of the canopy square. Lift the canopy up and
away from the unit, place down on timber runners
to protect the lower edge.
5.7 Supersilent Canopy -Fuel Tank
Removal
To remove the fuel tank proceed as follows:
1. With the canopy removed it will now be necessary
to remove the pump and engine from the tank
structure. Begin by removing the coupling guards
from the engine bell housing.
2. Disconnect the air pump silencer hose from the
discharge elbow of the air pump. Remove the
clamps holding silencer body. Remove the air
pump silencer assembly complete.
3. Slacken and remove the four M16 fixings holding
the pump body. Attach a suitable lifting device to
the pump and manually draw the pump backwards
off the coupling pins. When the pins are clear of
the rubber element lift the pump unit clear of the
chassis.
4. To remove the engine the following parts will need
to be removed from the tank/skid structure and
where necessary tied back to the engine to
prevent damage. Disconnect and drain fuel lines.
Undo and remove control panel from bracket.
Working beneath the engine end of the skid
slacken the bulkhead fitting lock nut on the oil
drain hose and remove the hose end from the skid
base. Tie the hose back to a suitable point on the
engine.
5. The last fixings to be removed are engine mount
to AV mount securing screws. Slacken and
remove each in turn.
6. The engine is now ready to be removed from the
tank structure. Lift vertically up and away. Watch
for any danger of collision between engine and
tank. The engine will need to be placed in a
suitable frame to prevent damage to the oil drain
or sump.
7. To remove the tank, slacken and remove four tank
to AV mount screws. With these removed use a
set of four chains to lift the tank unit from the skid
base using the four AV mount brackets.
5.8 Supersilent Canopy – Fuel
Tank Refitting
To refit the fuel tank proceed as follows:
1. Refit the tank as per removal taking note of the
fuel drain plug position and its relationship to the
access plug in the skid base. Orientate the tank
so that the drain is behind the larger plug.
2. Insert the four screws to secure the tank to the AV
mounts and check the alignment of the tank in the
skid base before tightening these screws. During
the tightening procedure a twisting moment can be
applied to the rubber element of the mount which
is undesirable. If this occurs, use or make a
suitable tool to counteract this twist and tighten to
150 Nm. Recheck alignment and ensure no
mounts are twisted. Correct if required.
3. Refit engine but do not fully tighten the mounting
to the AV mount screws at this stage, finger
tighten only. Reconnect all fuel lines, oil drain and
refit the control panel.
4. Before refitting the pump unit slacken the grub
screw (hex socket set screw) in the pump half
coupling boss. Ensure that the hub and rubber
element are free to slide on the pump shaft. This
will be used as a guide for checking the alignment
of the coupling at a later stage. Leave the
coupling hub loose on the shaft.
5. Lift the pump end onto the chassis and push the
unit onto the engine side coupling drive pins. With
the coupling halves engaged drop in the four
pump mounting fasteners and tighten nuts, finger
tighten only.
6. The pump should now be visually aligned and
tighten down to 150 Nm torque. Check that the
coupling element and hub is free to move on the
shaft to confirm correct alignment. A pry bar can
be used, but it should not require any effort to
move the assembly.
7. Move the engine on its mountings to make
alignment adjustments. Any shimming to adjust
vertical height should be added under the engine
AV mounts.
8. When alignment is satisfactory gradually tighten
the four AV mount screws to 70 Nm, checking
element/hub movement on the shaft each time.
During this procedure it is possible for the AV
mount rubber to twist. To prevent this use a
suitable tool to counteract the applied torque on
the mount. This will maintain the mount in a
neutral condition.
9. When complete, tighten the grubscrew in the
coupling hub into position on the pump shaft. The
element should not be fitted against the flywheel
adaptor plate but clearance should be present to
prevent end thrust transmission through the
coupling element.
