and Sealant Specifications” on page 139. For pedestal capacity, see
Section 4: Preventive Maintenance, heading “Check Gearbox or Pedes-

6.3 CLEANING AND INSPECTION GUIDELINES
1. Inspect all components (bearings, seals, gears, etc.) for excessive or
abnormal wear, i.e., pitting, scoring / scratches, cracks, splits, etc.
IMPORTANT !
WHEN REASSEMBLING, ALL COMPONENTS MUST BE CLEAN AND FREE
OF DEFECTS.
2. Replace O-ring seals and gaskets whenever they are removed to avoid
unnecessary downtime later.
3. Clean all gasket material from mating surfaces before installing a new
gasket. Be careful not to score the machined surfaces.
Install “new” gaskets and apply a light coat of grease to the gasket to
hold it on place. Where applicable, trim gaskets to match the contour of
the matching part.
