Procedure

  1. 10. Remove air cylinder from cap end mounting bracket (120). Cleaning, Inspection and Repair Examine disassembled components and fasteners for wear or damage. If worn or damaged, do not reuse. During reassembly all damaged and worn components should be replaced to prevent component failure which may result in injury or property damage. Use the following procedures to clean, inspect and repair the Torque Tube and associated components. Cleaning Thoroughly clean all Torque Tube components in solvent. Use of a stiff bristle brush will facilitate the removal of accumulated dirt and sediments on the columns. Wipe off each part after cleaning. Do not allow cleaning solvents to contact side plate wear pads. Inspection All disassembled parts should be inspected to determine their fitness for continued use. Pay particular attention to the following: 1. Inspect all threaded items and replace those having damaged threads. Repair Actual repairs are limited to the removal of small burrs and other minor surface imperfections. Use a fine stone or emery cloth for this work. 1. Worn or damaged parts must be replaced. Refer to parts section for specific replacement parts information. 2. Inspect all remaining parts for evidence of wear or damage. Replace or repair any part which is in questionable condition. The cost of the part is often minor in comparison with the cost of redoing the job. 3. When fastening components, always use Loctite® 243 on capscrew threads. Assembly Air Cylinder Installation 1. Attach air cylinder to cap end mounting bracket (120). 2. Attach air cylinder to rod end mounting bracket (119). 3. Install air cylinder mount nut from rod end of air cylinder (106). 4. Install air cylinder exhaust vent (105) at rod end of air cylinder (106). 5. Install regulator (145) and hex nipple (36) to air cylinder (106). 6. Connect air cylinder connecting clip (114) to attachment plate (117). 7. Install the torque tool on the torque tube. 8. Connect main air supply to regulator at connector (142). 9. Turn on the main supply to the torque tube.
  2. 10. Adjust regulator (145) adjustment knob so equal effort is required to raise and lower tube. Refer to “INSTALLATION” section. Inner Shaft 1. Using a suitable size drift punch and mallet install spring pins (110) and guide wheels (109). 2. Install bushings (112) and housing or spacer (113). 3. Install adapter plate (117). 4.

Install capscrews (126), nuts (127) and washers (128). 3. Install inner shaft assembly (109-117). 4. Install air cylinder (106). 5. Install capscrews (107), nuts (108) and washers (123). 6. Connect air cylinder connecting clip (114) to attachment plate (117). 7. Install the torque tool in the torque tube. 8. Connect main air supply to regulator at connector (142). 9. Turn on the main supply to the torque tube.
  3. 10. Adjust regulator (145) adjustment knob so equal effort is required to raise and lower tube. Refer to “INSTALLATION” section.
