PRIORITY - Product Improvement Program to inspect/repair fan drive bearing race on certain C32 fan drives.

MODELS INVOLVED - Certain C32 Generator Sets

Dear Caterpillar Product Owner:


On certain C32 generator sets, the bearing race for the front bearing in the fan drive may have been installed incorrectly. The generator set needs to be inspected for correct installation of the bearing race. If the bearing race has been installed incorrectly, the fan drive will have to be disassembled and the bearing reinstalled correctly. Failure to perform this operation may result in premature failure of the drive belts. You will not be charged for the service performed.

Contact your local Caterpillar dealer immediately to schedule this service. The dealer will advise you of the time required to complete this service.

Please refer the dealer to their Service Letter dated 15Nov2006 when scheduling this service.

We regret the inconvenience this may cause you, but urge you to have this service performed as soon as possible to prevent unscheduled downtime.

Rework Procedure


 
Refer to SEBU8088, Operation and Maintenance Manual for safety precautions.

Refer to SENR9716, Disassembly and Assembly Manual for removal and installation procedures.

Check fan drive end play:

1. Remove belt guards to gain access to the belt tensioner.
 
2. Release all belt tension. Removal of the belts is not necessary.
 
3. By hand, move the fan drive shaft fore and aft. A very slight end play should be felt, but there should be almost no actual movement. A very light pry bar force may be used to check end play, but hand force is recommended to avoid damage to the drive. If the fan drive exhibits over 1/8 inch of end play, the fan drive should be removed from the engine and the bearing inspected for proper installation.
 
Remove and Inspect Fan Drive Bearing:
4. Remove fan guards.
 
5. Remove fan and secure to prevent damage.
 
6. Remove belts.
 
7. Remove bolts holding fan drive to engine. Remove fan drive.
 
8. Disassemble fan drive by removing the six bolts which hold the hub to the pulley. Remove the hub.
