Usage:

Remove And Install Drum

Start By:

a. remove vibratory motor

b. remove front scraper

c. remove parking brake

------ WARNING! ------

The following procedure should be performed on a smooth level surface. Use wood blocks on both sides of the drum. Failure to do this may result in accidental movement of the drum. A run-away drum could result in personal injury. The weight of the drum is 4086 kg (9000 lb).

--------WARNING!------

1. Wedge a block of wood between the yoke and the top of the steer pivot. This will prevent the yoke from tilting.

2. Raise yoke about one half inch and install tool (A) under yoke on both sides of the yoke.

3. Remove two wires and bracket (2). Remove bracket (3).

4. Remove four spacers (1).

5. Remove two of the bolts from the yoke cover at about the two and ten o'clock positions. Install studs of suitable diameter and length to permit the yoke plate to slide out enough to attach a hoist to the plate.

6. Remove the remaining bolts from the yoke plate and slide it out on the studs. Attach a hoist and remove the yoke plate.

7. Roll the drum out and away from the yoke.

NOTE: To install the drum, reverse the removal steps.

Assemble Drum


NOTICE

Thoroughly clean all parts before reassembly. The interior of the drum must be very clean. 1/64 to 1/32teaspoon of contamination is the maximum allowable for the entire drum assembly. Any contamination may damage drum components.



NOTICE

Inspect all parts for damage or excessive wear during assembly. Repair or replace parts as necessary. The use of damaged or worn parts will cause premature failure.


1. Thoroughly clean the internal bearing housing before installing the roller bearing.

2. Make sure oil metering holes are clean and free of obstructions.

------ WARNING! ------

Parts heated to 82°C (180°F) will cause immediate burns if touched with bare skin. Suitable heat-resistant gloves should be used for handling bearings or injury will result.

--------WARNING!------


NOTICE

Overheating component will cause damage. Check temperature of bearing housing with a 82°C (180°F) thermal stick.


3. Heat bearing housing with a torch. Use a slow circular motion, so the entire bearing housing reaches approximately 82°C (180°F).

4. Slide the weight bearing into bearing housing.

5. If bearing will not seat, a brass drift may be used to carefully tap the bearing in place. The brass drift should only be used against the outer bearing race.

6. After the bearing housing has cooled, install shims (if used) and the bearing retainer. The bearing retainer must be placed with the grooved side toward the bearing. Secure with new self-locking bolts and washers. Tighten to 41 N·m (30 lb. ft.).

7. Tap bearing retainer with a brass drift to further seat the bearing. Recheck the torque on the bolts.

8. Using tooling (B), install the bearing housing onto the studs used at disassembly.

9. Install three bolts, 3/4 in. x 3 in. long, with two flat washers each, into the bearing housing and drum head. The bolts should be spaced about 90° apart.

10. Starting with the bottom bolt, turn the bolts in alternately to seat the bearing housing against the drum head.

11. Remove the three bolts and washers. Install eight 3/4 in. x 2 1/2 in. long bolts and washers. Tighten the bolts to a torque of 366 N·m (270 lb ft).

12. Repeat Steps 1 through 11 on the other side of the drum.

13. Install the coupling shaft to the left-hand weight shaft, if disassembled. Be sure to align timing mark "T" on the coupling shaft with "T" on the weight assembly.
