Install the Crosshead Assembly
Note:
Lightly lube all threads with Molykote G-n paste.
Warning:
There is a possibility of the crosshead assembly suddenly dropping.
You can be seriously hurt and your assembly badly damaged.
To reduce the hazards in this procedure, observe the following precautions:
Always lift the crosshead assembly using the lifting eyes screwed into the crosshead — never
with eyes screwed into the columns.
Never wrap chains around the crosshead or columns or actuator.
Smoothly lift, move, and lower the crosshead assembly to avoid shocks that could break the
chain, crane, or lifting eyes.
Lift the crosshead assembly no higher than is needed to install it.
1. Tighten the crosshead manual locking bolts. Follow the guidelines below for either manually locked
crossheads, or hydraulically locked crossheads.
Manually Locked Crossheads: Check the torque on the locking bolts, following the pattern in the following
figure. Make sure the locks are tight.
