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.
