These instructions must be read thoroughly before installation or operation. This instruction manual was accurate at the time of
printing. Please see
dodgeindustrial.com
for updated instruction manuals.
This manual is best suited for RTL Pillow Blocks. If your SLEEVOIL housing nameplate specifies “RTL SPHERICAL HOUSING,” use
manual MN3085. Dodge started manufacturing RTL SPHERICAL PILLOW BLOCKS in 2014.
PRE-ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to applicable contract/assembly drawings to verify that
all parts are available prior to assembly. Disassemble and
thoroughly clean all parts of the pillow block. The installer is the
last person to inspect all parts for fit, damage and cleanliness.
Care MUST be taken to avoid contaminating the internal surfaces
of the bearing.
WARNING: Rust Preventatives and solvents can be toxic
and/or flammable. Follow directions and safety procedures
recommended by their manufacturers.
WARNING: Liner assembly has critical machined surfaces
which are easily damaged. Use care in handling to protect
these surfaces. Liner parts should be placed on a soft,
CLEAN surface.
For ease of installation, the housings and liners are split and
match-marked. The split halves are machined together and must
not be interchanged. The match-mark on the housing is found
near the joint in the grommet area. The match-mark on the liner
is found on the outer diameter of the pilot on one end of the liner.
