Assemble the rotating element and the bearing frame ( XLT-i and i17 )
CAUTION:
• Wear insulated gloves when you use a bearing heater. Bearings get hot and can cause physical injury.
• Use care when you handle the shaft because it can be heavy. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury.
NOTICE: Make sure that the pipe threads are clean, and that you apply thread sealant to the plugs and
fittings. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage or decreased performance.
NOTICE: Use an induction heater that heats as well as demagnetizes the bearings when you install
bearings. Failure to do so may result in decreased performance.
1. Prepare the bearing frame (228) as follows (see the illustration):
a) Install the oil-fill plug (113A).
