AT BASE FRAMES
12.5
Hydraulic Cylinders
Inspect the hydraulic cylinder mounting to the runway. Inspect cylinder and hydraulic hose for leaks.
Repair or replace as required.
Check and tighten the hydraulic cylinder rod nuts holding the cable flange.
Inspect bolts holding anti-rotation bar onto cable flange and tighten if required. (If applicable)
Inspect sliders on anti-rotation bar for excessive wear or damage. Replace if required. (If applicable)
Failure to do so will lead to reduced service life, which could result in property
damage and/or personal injury.
12.6
Check Base Frames and Approach Ramps
12.6.1 CHECK BASE FRAMES
and
APPROACH RAMPS
Check base frames and approaching ramps for corrosion, giving special attention to the area at the
bases facing ground. Check severely corroded areas by pecking with an awl or welder’s chipping
hammer. If column is corroded through at any point, it must be replaced immediately. If not corroded
through, remove old paint and rust scale, then coat with a high quality corrosion resistant paint.
Clean and lubricate glide blocks.
Inspect hinge pins on approach ramps. Replace if excessively worn or
damage.
12.6.2 CHECK ANCHOR BOLTS
Check anchor bolts on base frames and approaching ramps for tightness.
If loose, re-torque base frame anchors to 110 ft-lb and approaching ramp
anchors to 55 ft-lb. If anchors do not tighten to required torque, or
continue to loosen, contact Snap-on Equipment Technical Support.
Verify proper embedment of anchors after tightening.
12.7
Fasteners
Figure 42 – Anchor Bolts Embedment
Check all the attaching bolts and nuts for tightness.
Note: Air cylinder bolts and nuts should allow movement of the cylinder.
12.8 Transition Ramps, Chocks, Front Wheel Stops
Inspect for excessive wear or damage. Repair or replace if required.
Inspect hinge pins. Replace if excessively worn. Lubricate if in good condition.
NOTE:
The Ø3/4”×5-1/2” wedge anchors supplied must have a
minimum embedment of 3-1/4” and the Ø1/2"×4½” wedge anchors
supplied must have a minimum embedment of 2” into the concrete
floor.
NOTE:
If anchors do not tighten to required torque, OR if Ø3/4”
anchors project more than 2-1/4” above the concrete surface,
OR if Ø1/2” anchors project more than 2½” above the concrete
surface due to floor slope, contact a foundation engineer to
determine the best course of action.
