Dillon AP Installation Instructions

Dynamometer Installation Instructions 9
2.1 General description
Heavy duty needle bearings inserted in each end of the Dynamometer deflection beam
(or into both sides of the shackles ears) allow the shackle pin to rotate as force is
applied. See Figure 2.1. Bearings should be cleaned periodically in a suitable solvent.
After drying, the bearings should be treated with a coat of light machine oil (SAE-5W
non-detergent oil or lighter).
The case is not water-tight and if the Dynamometer should be accidentally immersed,
hold it so that water is free to run out through the openings in the bottom of the case
and allow to dry.
CAUTION: DO NOT allow oil to run into the mechanism case. The mechanism should
never be oiled as this tends to attract dust or dirt.
