Installing the Crankshaft Assembly
When installing the crankshaft assembly, be sure to secure pieces of wood to protect the
guides from scoring or damage by the connecting rods during the installation process.
1
Reinsert the crankshaft assembly into the
power frame, taking care that it is well
supported throughout this process and
avoiding sudden or jerky movements. Be
sure to cover the crosshead guides with
wood or cardboard to prevent damage.
WARNING
The crankshaft assembly
is an extremely weighty
system, and can cause
damage, serious injury
and death if dropped or if
allowed to impact other
objects or personnel.
Handle with extreme care
and follow all applicable
safety procedures when
lifting this system.
2
Bolt the main bearing housings into place to
secure the crankshaft and reconnect the
lube lines.
