4.
Carry out the inspection as follows:

1. Make a general inspection for loose bolts

and screws.

2. Inspect lube oil pipes for damage, and

check jet nozzles for possible stoppages or
deformations.

3. Examine the rubber track of the guideways

for cracks or other damage.

Replace the guideway if bits have started to

be “plucked out” of the rubber track.

4. Check the teeth of the chain wheels. If

abnormal wear is found, take a
measurement (see Data).

Measurements are best taken by placing a

short straight-edge over points A and B and
then measuring the distance D-1.
KG906-1.1 204 04

5. If abnormal wear is observed at the bottom

of the teeth, make a drawing in scale 1:1 of
the teeth and wear profile.

Measure the geometry of the bottom and 5.

note down all available measurements
including D-A and D-B on the drawing. D-B
is best found by placing a short straight-
edge between the tip of the two teeth.

For assessing the measurement results,

contact MES.

In most cases, scratches caused by the

side plates of the chain will be found on the
sides of the teeth. Such scratches can
generally be considered normal.

Checking

7. 6. Check the chains for cracks on possibly de-

88.90 mm fective rollers and side plates.

Check that the chain rollers can run freely

and that the chain links can freely move on
the pin and bushing (that they are not
“seized” between the pin and the bushing).
D-2
53.98 mm It is normal, however, that the rollers get
light, circumferential scratches during the
D-3 running-in period. These fine scratches are
of no importance and need not be consid-
ed.
HM906-1.0 32 00 L0a

It is recommended to turn the chains a

complete rotation and check each single
link.

7. Check chain wear by measuring the length

of 10 chain links and comparing the result
with the value given in Data.

If necessary, adjust the chain tightener.

See Procedure 906-2.3.

Dismantling
Dismantling
906-1.2

It may become necessary to disassemble 1.

the chain if, for instance, cracked rollers or
seizures between pin and bushing have
been discovered during the inspection.
See Procedure 906-1.1.

Note!

Every time a chain link is disassembled,

a new link must always be fitted as the
link pin press-fit is destroyed when
breaking the chain.

GN906-1.2 203 01
When a new link is fitted in one chain, the
corresponding link in the other chain
must also be renewed.

2.
1. Remove the tension on the chain by
loosening the chain tightener.
(See Procedure 906-2.3).

Turn the engine until the slack part of the

chain, with the chain link that is to be
disassembled, is in a favourable position
for the work.

2. Mount a wire round the link rollers a short

distance from the disassembly point, and
tighten the wire lightly with a tackle.
GN906-1.2 203 02

Protect the link rollers over which the wire

is wrapped.

Note! 3.

If the chain is to be completely removed,

contact MES for further information.

The riveting of the pins that are to be

pressed out is to be or ground away.

3. Place the chain bursting tool over the outer

chain link, and dismantle the link by
alternately tightening the screws on the
tool.

1. Before assembling the inner and outer

links, clean the pins and bushings.

1. Combine the inner chain link with the outer

chain link and mount the compression tool.

Force the loose side plate of the outer link

into place by alternately tightening the
screws on the compression tool.

2. When the link has been assembled, remove

the compression tool and lock the pin ends
by riveting.
GN906-1.4 203 01

Repeat this procedure until the chain has

been assembled.

Remove the tackle and wire and adjust the

chain tension.

1.
1. To retighten the chains, loosen nuts A, B,
C and D to free the chain tightener bolt.

2. Turn the engine so that the slack part of the

chains is on the same side as the tightener
wheel.

If balanceweights are mounted, continue

the turning until they are hanging vertically
downwards.

3. With the balanceweights in this position,

tighten nut B on the chain tightener bolt un-

and the nut as stated in D-1.

Then tighten nut B as stated in D-2 (see

Data.

5. If distance X exceeds the max. distance

(see Data), find and eliminate the cause of
the abnormal chain elongation, e.g. a de-
fective chain, damaged chain wheels or
bearings, etc. Repeat the procedure from
step 1.
