Clean and Inspect for Reuse

TOC

All Applications


 WARNING 

When using solvents, acids, or alkaline materials for cleaning, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for use. Wear goggles and protective clothing to reduce the possibility of personal injury.

Clean the vibration damper(s) with a solvent cleaner.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Always replace the vibration damper(s) after a crankshaft nose failure. Crankshaft nose breakages are primarily caused by excessive torsional activity.

The vibration damper
must always be measured after a failure involving broken gears in the front gear train.

Check the mounting web for cracks.

Check the housing for dents or raised surfaces.

The vibration damper
must be replaced if the mounting web is cracked or the housing has dents or raised surfaces.

Remove the paint on both sides of the vibration damper in four locations spaced 90 degrees apart.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Measure and record the thickness at two points at each of the four locations.

The difference between any two of the eight measurements
must not exceed 0.25 mm [0.010 in].
