NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.



NOTICE

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.


Note: Put identification marks on all hoses, on all hose assemblies and on all tube assemblies for installation purposes. Plug all hose assemblies and tube assemblies. Plugging hose assemblies and tube assemblies helps to prevent fluid loss and helps to keep contaminants from entering the system.

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

    Do not disconnect the air lines until the air pressure in the system is at zero. If hose is disconnected under pressure it can cause personal injury.


  1. Release the pressure from the air system. Refer to the Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) for the correct procedure.

  2. If the engine is equipped with a hydraulic pump on the rear of the air compressor, remove the hydraulic pump. Refer to the OEM for the correct procedure.

  3. Drain the coolant from the cooling system into a suitable container for storage or for disposal. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Cooling System Coolant - Change" for the correct draining procedure.

  4. Use Tooling (A) in order to rotate the crankshaft so that number one piston is at the top center position on the compression stroke. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No.1 Piston".

    Note: The air compressor must be timed with the engine in order to minimize engine vibration.

  5. Remove plug (1) from the cylinder block. Install Tooling (B) into Hole (X) in the cylinder block. Use Tooling (B) in order to lock the crankshaft in the correct position.

    Note: Do not use excessive force to install Tooling (B). Do not use Tooling (B) to hold the crankshaft during repairs.

  6. Disconnect coolant hose (2) and hose (3) from air compressor (5).

  7. Disconnect the air lines from port (4) and port (6).

  8. Remove tube assembly (8) from air compressor (5) and from the cylinder block.

  9. Remove bolts (9) and bolts (11) from support bracket (10) and remove the support bracket.

  10. Support air compressor (5). Remove nuts (14) and remove the air compressor from front housing (7).

  11. Remove O-ring seal (19) from air compressor (5).

  12. If necessary, remove bolts (16) and remove plate (15). Remove O-ring seal (12) from plate (15). Refer to Illustration 3.

  13. If necessary, follow Step 13.a through Step 13.c in order to remove gear (17) from air compressor (5).

    1. Use a suitable tool in order to prevent gear (17) from rotating.

    2. Remove nut (18) and remove the spring washer.

    3. Use Tooling (C) in order to remove gear (17) from the crankshaft of air compressor (5).

    Typical example

  1. If necessary, follow Step 1.a through Step 1.b in order to install gear (17) to air compressor (5).

    1. Ensure that the shaft of air compressor (5) is clean and dry. Ensure that gear (17) is clean and free from damage.

    2. Install gear (17) and a new spring washer to the shaft of air compressor (5).

    3. Apply Tooling (D) to the threads of the shaft. Install nut (18) to the shaft of air compressor (5).

    4. Use a suitable tool in order to prevent gear (17) from rotating as nut (18) is tightened. Tighten the nut to a torque of 120 N·m (89 lb ft).

  2. Install a new O-ring seal (19) to the recess of air compressor (5). Use Tooling (E) in order to lubricate the O-ring seal.

  3. Ensure that number one piston is at the top center position on the compression stroke. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston".

    Note: The air compressor must be timed with the engine in order to minimize engine vibration.
