Disassembly
1.
Push in the E-stop.
WARNING
Place the main electrical disconnect OFF and bleed down all high-pressure lines.
Place an "Out of Service" tag on the main electrical disconnect and lock it out.
Failure to do so may result in equipment damage or injury to personnel.
2.
Disconnect all high-pressure and low-pressure interface connections to access the tie
rods. Place the manifold and PCV assembly combination aside.
Unload the tie rods with the pressure loading tool
3.
Make sure the pressure loading tool plunger is fully retracted. Install the pressure
loading tool onto the tie rods by running the tool studs onto the exposed threads of the
tie rods.
When tightening, alternate between opposite studs to avoid binding. Tighten the tool
studs firmly in order to seat the tool piston fully into the tool body, and against the
end cap as shown below.
Notes:
The plunger of the pressure loading tool must be threaded all the way out in
order to fully seat the piston within the cylinder.
When engaged on the tie rods, there should be no exposure of the piston shoulder.
