Carefully read the Assembly Instructions before starting any work!
This is especially valid for the chapter on General Safety Instructions
and the safety instructions in each of the chapters.
5.4.3
Checking Axial Play of Crankshaft
IMPORTANT!
The designed crankshaft axial play of the engines must not in any event be reduced by the
installation of couplings or other components.
For this reason:
S
It is essential to record the axial play of the crankshaft
before
and
after
any components
are installed by using a dial indicator held by a magnetic stand.
The crankshaft axial play is to be measured
before
and
after
installing the generator or other assemblies
onto the engine.
S
Remove crankshaft cover
S
Place holder (1) and dial indicator (2) onto
engine so that the probe of the dial indicator is
under tension
on the dial
S
Press crankshaft all the way in the axial
direction to the flywheel housing
S
Set dial indicator to zero
S
Pull crankshaft all the way in the axial direction
from the flywheel housing
S
Read off dial indicator
If the results of both measurements do not match
or if the crankshaft springs back after being
pushed, check the installation.
