UNDER CARRIAGE
TURNTABLE BEARING INSTALLATION
When installing a turntable bearing, align the dowel pin holes
in the inner ring with the dowel pins in the underside of the
rotating bed.
TURNTABLE BEARING BOLT TORQUE
Torque Requirements
Lubrication
Before installing the turntable bearing bolts, lubricate the
following with āNever-Seezā (MCC No. 361010) or an
equivalent anti-seizing lubricant:
⢠Threads of each bolt
⢠Underside of head of each bolt
⢠Both sides of each washer
Torque Values
Torque each turntable bearing bolt to 2,600 ft-lb (3 525 Nm).
When new bolts are installed, torque the bolts in two steps:
⢠FIRST to 1,000 ft-lb (1 356 Nm)
⢠SECOND to 2,600 ft-lb (3 525 Nm)
Torque Sequence
Torque the bolts (three at a time) in the numbered sequence
given in Figure 8-1
(one ring at a time).
Torque Intervals
INITIAL OPERATION: torque all bolts to the specified value
after the first 50 hours of operation.
YEARLY or every 2,000 hours of operation (whichever
comes first): torque all bolts to the specified value.
Bolt Replacement
If at the yearly inspection interval, one or more bolts are
found to be torqued to less than 2,080 ft-lb (2 820 Nm),
replace each loose bolt and washer. Also replace the bolt
and washer on each side of each loose bolt.
If at the yearly inspection interval 17 or more bolts in either
ring are found to be torqued to less than 2,080 ft-lb (2 820
Nm), replace all of the bolts and washers for the
corresponding ring.
Replace all bolts and washers each time a new turntable
bearing is installed.
DANGER
Crushing Injury Hazard!
Two people are required to torque turntable bearing bolts:
an operator to operate swing control and a mechanic to
torque bolts.
Mechanic must go inside carbody to torque inner turntable
bearing bolts.
⢠Maintain constant communication between operator
and mechanic while mechanic is inside carbody.
⢠Operator, do not swing upperworks until instructed to
do so by mechanic.
Mechanic, stay well clear of moving parts while upper is
being swung to position bolts.
WARNING
Bolt Failure!
Loose or improperly torqued bolts can cause bolts or
turntable bearing to fail, possibly allowing upperworks to
break away from carbody.
