Install the Crosshead Assembly

Installation

Install the Crosshead Assembly

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.

Note

Lightly lube all threads with Molykote G-n paste.
