These instructions must be read thoroughly before installation or operation.

CAUTION: Do not scrape, rebabbit, or otherwise alter

this product. Such action adversely affects bearing

performance and may result in damage or destruction

of equipment.

WARNING: Only qualified personnel familiar with the

construction and operation of this equipment and the

hazards involved should install, adjust, operate and/

or service it. Read and understand this manual in its

entirety before proceeding. Failure to observe this

precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss

of life.

INSTALLATION:

The modular design of this bearing allows the use of multiple

types of liners and two or more bore sizes in the same housing.

Types of Liners

'S' — Standard liner (fixed or free) has symmetrical thrust faces

for bidirectional rotation.

'T' — High thrust, non-expansion (fixed) liner has tapered land

thrust faces which MUST be oriented with shaft rotation as this

type of thrust surface is unidirectional.

1. PRE-ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Sleeve bearing performance is dependent on proper installation,

lubrication and maintenance. Before assembling the bearing,

read ALL instructions in this manual and follow all equipment

manufacturers' instructions.

DODGE SLEEVOIL PILLOW BLOCK NAMEPLATE

All SLEEVOIL housings and liners have nameplates attached

to them. These nameplates have a six digit part number which

fully identifies the housing and/or liner with any and all factory

modifications to that part. Liner nameplate is pinned to the

SLEEVOIL upper liner near an oil ring inspection hole. Housing

nameplate is pinned to the housing foot parallel to the shaft.

"MATCH MARKS"

HSG MATCH MARKS

All SLEEVOIL housing and liner halves have match marks

permanently stamped above and below the joint. Use these match

marks to ensure that parts stay paired and critical machined areas

of an assembly are accurately maintained.

NOTE: Refer to applicable contract/assembly drawings to

verify all parts are available prior to assembly.

Disassemble and thoroughly clean all parts of the pillow block.

The installer is the last person to inspect all parts for fit, damage

and cleanliness. Care MUST be taken to avoid contaminating

the internal surfaces of the bearing. Housing caps and bases are

match marked and MUST NOT be interchanged. Upper and lower

liners are also match marked and MUST NOT be interchanged

NOTE: DO NOT DISCARD SHIMS AT JOINT. THEY ARE USED

LATER FOR A CONTROLLED INTERFERENCE FIT OF LINER

IN HOUSING. (See page 4)

CAUTION: Liner assembly has critical machined surfaces

which are easily damaged. Use care when handling to protect

these surfaces. Liner parts should be placed on a soft, CLEAN

surface. Failure to observe these precautions may result in

damage to or destruction of the equipment.

WARNING: Rust preventives and solvents can be toxic and/

or flammable. Follow directions and safety procedures

recommended by their manufacturers. Failure to observe

these precautions could result in bodily injury.

Check the mounting structure to ensure it is rigid, leveled, and

well supported. Inspect the shaft to ensure it is smooth (32 micro-

finish or better), free of burrs or rough spots and clean. Position

the housing base on the pedestal in the position specified on the

construction drawing. Do NOT tighten the base to the pedestal.
