FORM 227

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING NEW CAGE BARS IN DOWN-RUNNING MILLS

1.

Lock out mill motor and follow safety procedures per Williams Form 936.

2.

Open mill cover to provide access to cage bars.

3.

Note opening of size and arrangement of cage bars.

4.

Loosen bottom side liners, which are held in place by bolts through the side of the crusher frame.

5.

Attach the lifting equipment, or sling, to both ends of cage bar so both ends will move equally as the
cage bar is hoisted out of the crusher. This will prevent it from wedging against the side of the frame,
if one end is moved ahead of the other.

6.

When the cage bar is out of the support ring, it can be picked up with the mobile hoisting equipment
and lifted through the cover opening or slid out to the side, whichever provides the easiest access.
Cage bars in the portion of the cage opposite the cover opening will require special care to keep them
from sliding down the cage support ring when personnel are in the way.

7.

Continue the above procedure until all the cage bars have been removed from the cage support ring.

8.

Remove all material in cage recess groove.

9.

Examine the cage support ring for any defects or unusual wear before replacing the cage bars, and
make necessary repairs.

10.

Installing new cage bars is essentially the reverse of the above procedure. Cage bars with the smallest openings are to be installed first. See Typical Hog Cross Section on reverse side.

11.

To pull the cage bars into position on the upper end of the support ring opposite the cover opening,
it may be necessary to attach a pair of come-alongs to the back of the breaker plate or the frame
above the cage support ring. Keep cage bars tight against each other in the support ring.

12.

When all the cage bars are in place, it may be necessary to use filler bar to fill out the cage groove to
insure the cage bars remain tight when the cover is closed.

13.

Close cover and retighten bottom side liner bolts.
